Cross-Domain Multi-Hop QA Benchmarks Expose Robustness Gaps in RAG Systems

This report synthesises findings from 9 peer-reviewed papers addressing the following research question: How do cross-domain multi-hop QA benchmarks like HotPotQA reveal robustness gaps in RAG systems when evaluated against adversarial distractor contexts. 11 claims were extracted from source literature; 11 were independently verified against retrieved documents. An automated multi-reviewer quality assessment produced a score of 7.6/10. This report is a machine-generated literature synthesis and does not constitute original research.
