Institutional Books – Enriched Text is a 2025 release that transforms Harvard Library’s 983,004-volume collection (IB‑HL) into a multilingual, annotated dataset. The pipeline normalizes OCR text while preserving metadata, separating endmatter, detecting paragraph language, clustering duplicates, and scoring bits‑per‑byte, all wrapped in HTML‑like annotations. The resulting IB‑HL‑ET contains 217 B tokens across 983,003 volumes and 1.39 B annotated subtopic paragraphs, enabling users to customize output rather than accept a single editorial decision.
arXiv:2610.34572v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The largest open German text datasets are built from broad web crawls, which provide scale but limited coverage of specific domains. We introduce Refin...

arXiv:2607. 22662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open-web corpora curated via highly selective filters, such as FineWeb-Edu and DCLM, constitute the core of LLM pretraining data and have significantly advanced LLM performance.
arXiv:2607. 08539v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Leveraging large language models (LLMs) to analyze complex documents -- such as academic papers, technical manuals, and financial reports -- has emerged as a mainstream and critical task in both research and industry.
RIT‑RAG is a retrieval‑augmented generation framework that combines content retrieval with structural navigation of documents. It builds a tree for each document from its table of contents or sitemap, then uses retrieved chunk positions to induce manageable sub‑trees that an LLM agent can navigate, read selectively, and reformulate queries. Experiments on financial, scientific, and customer‑support benchmarks show RIT‑RAG outperforms vanilla, graph‑based, and agentic baselines, achieving up to 11.4‑point accuracy gains on the new EntQABench of 2.84 million technical‑documentation webpages.
arXiv:2607. 29677v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprise workflows increasingly rely on agents for \emph{schema-guided extraction}: given a document and a user-defined schema, the agent faithfully follows the schema to produce the correct output with source evidence as grounding metadata.
MUDIDI is a two-stage framework designed to digitize multilingual dictionaries that are currently only available as scanned images. The first stage assesses character recognition and markup preservation, while the second stage segments dictionary entries and maps them into the SIL Multi-Dictionary Formatter schema. The authors also release a dataset of 30 annotated dictionaries and benchmark OCR, LLM, and VLM systems, finding that LLMs generally outperform others and that providing additional context improves digitization quality.
Large-scale pretraining corpora contain substantial duplicate content. Although document-level deduplication is widely used, removing subdocument-level redundancy remains challenging.
arXiv:2608. 25826v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A recent line of synthetic-data work reconstructs the thinking behind existing text rather than rewriting the text itself, but it operates on short web passages, recovers only local thoughts, and leaves the structure of whole documents untouched.
arXiv:2606.11350v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) degrades when applied to large, heterogeneous document collections. In RAG systems, dense similarity becomes l...
arXiv:2609.37226v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Answering questions and completing tasks over large document collections often requires connecting evidence spread across multiple documents, such as...
The paper introduces an end‑to‑end pipeline that harvests, validates, and models links between scholarly articles and their source code from journals such as JOSS, SoftwareX, and IPOL, as well as SIGMOD ARI reproducibility reports. It produces a curated set of 4,397 DOI‑repository pairs and defines two Wikidata‑based application profiles—one for articles and one for software—aligned with schema.org and CodeMeta. Using these profiles, the authors created 4,182 new Wikidata software items linked to their papers, while only 82 repositories were previously represented, and they demonstrate compatibility with the COAR Notify protocol for future live enrichment.
