EXAR: A Unified Experience-Grounded Agentic Reasoning Architecture. Bergmann, R., Brand, F., Lenz, M., & Malburg, L. In Bichindaritz, I. & López, B., editors, Case-Based Reasoning Research and Development, volume 15662, of Lecture Notes in Computer Science, pages 3–17, Cham, 2025. Springer Nature Switzerland.
Paper doi abstract bibtex 10 downloads Current AI reasoning often relies on static pipelines (like the 4R cycle from Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) or standard Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)) that limit adaptability. We argue it is time for a shift towards dynamic, experience-grounded agentic reasoning. This paper proposes EXAR, a new unified, experience-grounded architecture, conceptualizing reasoning not as a fixed sequence, but as a collaborative process orchestrated among specialized agents. EXAR integrates data and knowledge sources into a persistent Long-Term Memory utilized by diverse reasoning agents, which coordinate themselves via a Short-Term Memory. Governed by an Orchestrator and Meta Learner, EXAR enables flexible, context-aware reasoning strategies that adapt and improve over time, offering a blueprint for next-generation AI.
