The paper reports on building a retrieval‑augmented legal assistant for Uzbek that operates in both a managed cloud service and an on‑premises deployment. It introduces two new domain benchmarks—one for retrieval and one for end‑to‑end QA—and shows that fine‑tuning an open‑weight text embedder (UTE‑1) can close the performance gap with proprietary models under tight cost and latency constraints. The authors also provide negative results for a QLoRA experiment and release the benchmarks, evaluation code, and the fine‑tuned embedder for future low‑resource legal NLP work.
Public institutions hold large volumes of sensitive documents and support tickets that cannot leave the premises, ruling out cloud-hosted language models entirely. We report on RAGAL, a retrieval-augmented assistant for the technical-support team of AFIR, the Romanian Agency for Financing Rural Investments, built and operated under three hard constraints: zero data egress (no external API calls, even for synthetic data), a read-only mandate (the assistant drafts, humans execute), and a single 8 GB consumer laptop as the only development and training machine.
Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong relation extraction (RE), but their computational demands and reliance on proprietary APIs limit deployment in resource-constrained or privacy-sensitive settings. We investigate how far small language models (SLMs) can close this gap across general-domain and literary text.

The paper introduces MAPLE, a family of decoder‑only language models pretrained with document‑level geographic metadata such as source URL, country, and continent. MAPLE is evaluated on a new benchmark, LocalNewsQA, which tests whether models can switch answers when the locale changes. Experiments show that, with inference‑time metadata fixed, MAPLE outperforms metadata‑free controls in both answer switching and accuracy on locale‑dependent questions, and these gains grow with model size.
The study investigates how document segmentation (chunking) and embedding choices influence Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) performance for Turkish, a morphologically rich language. Using a fully crossed experimental design, the authors compare three chunking strategies (fixed-length, semantic, and layout-aware Docling), five embedding models, and two large language model generators across three documents with different layouts, generating 9,000 graded question-answer evaluations. Key findings include that layout-aware chunking reduces the impact of embedding choice, the top embedding models perform similarly, faster generators are not more accurate, and the optimal configuration varies with content type, achieving a best overall accuracy of 87.0%.

arXiv:2607. 07388v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) store factual knowledge and domain-specific patterns implicitly in dense Transformer parameters, making knowledge expansion costly through pretraining, fine-tuning, retrieval augmentation, or longer contexts.
arXiv:2511. 04919v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Processing long documents with large language models (LLMs) is expensive: a single query over a 100K-token document can cost from tens of cents to over a dollar in API fees, depending on the model, and memory grows linearly with context length.
