| 2026 | THOR: A Theta-Gamma Hierarchical Oscillatory Reasoning Framework for Multi-hop QAabstractMulti-hop question answering requires retrieving and integrating evidence from multiple contexts.Despite the rapid progress of current research, multi-hop reasoning remains constrained by two persistent limitations: attention decay, where the model's focus on main question degrades as the reasoning chain grows, and error accumulation, where mistakes propagate across hops and compounds into final failure.Inspired by Theta-Gamma hierarchical oscillation which decouples global planning from local retrieval, enabling efficient attention transfer between hops and a verification and repair mechanism that interrupts the accumulation of errors in the wrong paths, we present THOR, a brain-inspired Theta-Gamma hierarchical oscillatory reasoning framework.Extensive comparative experiments and specific validation experiments on multi-hop QA benchmarks demonstrate that THOR improves answer accuracy and robustness while mitigating limitations, showcasing its generalization across different backbones.
