摘要:

检索增强生成(RAG)结合基础模型在多种任务中表现出色,但其在专家级推理(如奥林匹克级物理问题求解)中的能力仍待探索。受学生通过复习过往问题准备竞赛的启发,我们研究了RAG增强基础模型在物理推理中的潜力。我们引入PhoPile,一个专门用于奥林匹克级物理问题的高质量多模态数据集,以系统研究基于检索的推理。PhoPile包含图表、图形和方程,捕捉了物理问题求解的固有多模态特性。利用PhoPile,我们评估了RAG增强的基础模型,涵盖大型语言模型(LLMs)和大型多模态模型(LMMs)等多种检索器。我们的结果表明,将检索与物理语料结合可以提升模型性能,同时也突显了需要进一步研究的挑战,以推动检索增强的物理推理研究。

英文摘要:

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with foundation models has achieved strong performance across diverse tasks, but their capacity for expert-level reasoning-such as solving Olympiad-level physics problems-remains largely unexplored. Inspired by the way students prepare for competitions by reviewing past problems, we investigate the potential of RAG to enhance physics reasoning in foundation models. We introduce PhoPile, a high-quality multimodal dataset specifically designed for Olympiad-level physics, enabling systematic study of retrieval-based reasoning. PhoPile includes diagrams, graphs, and equations, capturing the inherently multimodal nature of physics problem solving. Using PhoPile, we benchmark RAG-augmented foundation models, covering both large language models (LLMs) and large multimodal models (LMMs) with multiple retrievers. Our results demonstrate that integrating retrieval with physics corpora can improve model performance, while also highlighting challenges that motivate further research in retrieval-augmented physics reasoning.
