M-RAG: Semantic Key-Value Indexing for Retrieval-Augmented Generation
arXiv:2603. 26667v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) turns external documents into evidence for large language models.
ICICLE is an in‑context indexing framework that expands generative retrieval by supplying newly added documents as inference‑time evidence. It generates document identifiers using both parametric memory and context‑provided document‑docid pairs, employing a [COPY] routing mechanism, preference‑based calibration, and large‑context adaptation to separate context‑grounded retrieval from parametric retrieval. Experiments on MS MARCO and NQ320K demonstrate that ICICLE improves retrieval of new documents while retaining performance on previously indexed documents without retraining the model.

arXiv:2608. 16185v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM agents increasingly answer questions over dynamic raw-document collections, where files may change before preprocessing, and relevant evidence (spans, sections, pages, or tables) is query-dependent.
LLM agents increasingly answer questions over dynamic raw-document collections, where files may change before preprocessing, and relevant evidence (spans, sections, pages, or tables) is query-dependent. Existing retrieval-augmented approaches pre-materialize evidence via fixed chunking, embeddings, or persistent indexes: effective for lookup, yet costly, stale-prone, and committed to a granularity before the query is known.
The paper introduces DEPT, a method that trains a single decoder-only large language model to both expand queries and encode documents for retrieval. By preserving document embeddings close to their initial cached values while allowing gradients to flow through the generator, DEPT stabilizes retrieval targets and enables efficient index reuse and online hard‑negative mining. Experiments on the BEIR benchmark with Qwen3‑4B‑Instruct‑2507 and LLaMA‑3.2‑3B‑Instruct show that DEPT outperforms training‑free, independently trained, and staged unified baselines, with ablations confirming the benefits of preservation, whitening, end‑to‑end expansion training, and online negatives.
W-RAG is a source-aware retrieval framework designed for enterprise document generation from heterogeneous knowledge bases. It uses ontology-guided retrieval, local ranking within each knowledge base, and source-level weighting to balance evidence from diverse sources. A new dataset covering multiple document types and industry domains demonstrates that W-RAG improves document coverage and generation quality compared to standard RAG pipelines.

ConvergeWriter introduces a bottom‑up, data‑driven framework for long‑form document generation that first retrieves exhaustive knowledge from a source corpus and clusters it into distinct knowledge groups. These clusters then guide the creation of a hierarchical outline and the final text, ensuring the output is strictly grounded in the retrieved material and traceable to its sources. Experiments on 14B and 32B LLMs show that this approach matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art baselines, especially in scenarios requiring high factual fidelity and structural coherence.
