DeepResearch
Plan-search-synthesize-report research pipeline
Definition
Mechanism
An autonomous research pipeline with four stages: (1) Planning - decompose query into research questions, (2) Multi-Round Search - iteratively search, identify gaps, refine queries, (3) Synthesis - integrate findings across sources, resolve contradictions, (4) Report - generate an analytical report with citations. Loops between search and synthesis until a round surfaces nothing new or the round bound is reached. Chains Discover for breadth and RetrievalAugment for depth, orchestrated by Deep.
Preconditions
- Access to external knowledge base
- A question that one source cannot settle
Postconditions
- A report in which each claim names its sources
- The reason the loop stopped is recorded
Invariants
- Findings are synthesized across sources that do not derive from one another.
- More than one search round; the value is in the gap-detection between them.
- Every claim in the report names the sources it rests on.
- The loop ends on a dry round or the round bound, and which one is recorded.
Risks
Failure modes
Source {{cognitive_bias}}
Over-relying on first sources found.
{{synthesis}} Hallucination
Inventing connections not in sources.
Premature Closure
Stopping search before finding contradicting evidence.
