• Abstract: Context: Agile Governance Theory (AGT) has emerged as a potential model for organizational chains of responsibility across business units and teams. Objective: This study aims to assess how AGT is reflected in practice. Method: AGT was operationalized down into 16 testable hypotheses. All hypotheses were tested by arranging eight theoretical scenarios with 118 practitioners from 86 organizations and 19 countries who completed an in-depth explanatory scenario-based survey. The feedback results were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Results: The analyses supported key theory components and hypotheses, such as mediation between agile capabilities and business operations through governance capabilities. Conclusion: This study supports the theory and suggests that AGT can assist teams in gaining a better understanding of their organization governance in an agile context. A better understanding can help remove delays and misunderstandings that can come about with unclear decision-making channels, which can jeopardize the fulfillment of the overall strategy.

  Self-taught reasoner (STaR) framework uses reinforcement learning to automatically generate reasoning steps. STaR and its variants have demonstrated empirical success, but a theoretical foundation explaining these improvements is lacking. This work provides a theoretical framework for understanding the effectiveness of reinforcement learning on CoT reasoning and STaR.

  We introduce a novel structure-oriented analysis method to help Large Language Models (LLMs) better understand a question.

Surprisingly, in some cases, the system even surpasses few-shot methods.

  Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a key means to effectively enhance large language models (LLMs) We propose StructRAG, which can identify the optimal structure type for the task at hand, reconstruct original documents into this structured format, and infer answers based on the resulting structure. Experiments show that StructRAG achieves state-of-the-art performance, particularly excelling in challenging scenarios.
