arXiv:2608. 08445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is widely regarded as a novel paradigm born from the limitations of large language models (LLMs)--a mechanism to ground their outputs in external knowledge.
arXiv:2503. 10677v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has gained significant attention in recent years for its potential to enhance natural language understanding and generation by combining large-scale retrieval systems with generative models.
arXiv:2606. 29090v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the standard way to ground large language models in external knowledge, yet most systems retrieve a fixed number of passages for every question regardless of its difficulty.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the standard way to ground large language models in external knowledge, yet most systems retrieve a fixed number of passages for every question regardless of its difficulty. This wastes computation on easy questions, starves hard ones, and gives no signal for when a generated answer can be trusted.
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.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of information retrieval systems, the ability to adapt and improve through user feedback is paramount. This study introduces a novel methodology for refining the performance of a primary Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) system by strategically integrating an auxiliary feedback RAG system.
arXiv:2602. 00238v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems often assume that each query has a single correct answer.

arXiv:2606. 28337v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems are often evaluated using final answer accuracy, even though their failures can originate from preprocessing, retrieval, context packing, or generation.
arXiv:2402. 01767v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has rapidly advanced the language model field, particularly in question-answering (QA) systems.
Retrieval-augmented generation improves knowledge-intensive question answering, but indiscriminate retrieval can introduce irrelevant evidence and unnecessary computation. We investigate whether verbalized confidence from black-box language models can serve as an actionable signal for retrieval routing.
