Detailed summary
No comprehensive review or survey papers focused explicitly on multi-document question answering (MDQA) from 2020 onwards were found.
While none of the retrieved references are comprehensive review papers on MDQA, some relevant research papers discuss advanced MDQA techniques and models, such as knowledge graph prompting [1], hierarchical contextual augmentation [2], and cross-document QA [3]. Additionally, there are related works on query-focused multi-document summarization [5, 6], which are somewhat relevant but do not fully serve as comprehensive surveys on MDQA.
Categories of papers
The most important categories to highlight are comprehensive survey or review papers explicitly focused on multi-document question answering (MDQA) and those closely related to MDQA, followed by papers that provide insights into tasks and methodologies adjacent to MDQA, such as multi-document summarization or complex QA. These categories ensure clarity on which papers directly address the core topic and which offer relevant, useful background information.
