Beyond the Query: Do Retrieval Signals Improve Adaptive Multimodal RAG Routing?

Adaptive RAG often uses retrieval-time signals to decide whether another retrieval, reranking, or multimodal step should run. We ask whether these signals add routing value once the query itself is already known. Across document, audio, and video RAG, we compare matched query-only and query+retrieval routers while hold...
