Visual document retrieval has recently become increasingly important in applications such as enterprise search, scientific literature discovery, and retrieval-augmented generation. These applications depend on efficiently identifying query-relevant pages across large collections of visually rich documents.
arXiv:2606. 02814v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural retrievers are trained to estimate query-document relevance from annotated query-document pairs.
arXiv:2607. 24748v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visually-rich documents such as reports, slides, and manuals often distribute the evidence needed to answer a question across multiple pages, mixing text with layout cues, tables, charts, and figures.
arXiv:2607. 20556v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In large-scale text analysis tasks, pre-trained language models are often used to embed text corpora for downstream analysis.
arXiv:2605. 00972v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Earth system science is producing increasingly large, high-dimensional datasets from both physics-based and AI-driven models.
arXiv:2606. 28344v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Augmenting large language models (LLMs) with retrieved web text has become a dominant paradigm, yet the web is not natively textual: existing systems depend on complex parsing pipelines that linearize HTML and discard layout, visual structure, and formatting.
arXiv:2608. 07067v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-document understanding requires locating sparse and heterogeneous evidence across hundreds of pages, yet existing systems remain limited by static retrieval and fragile cross-round memory.
arXiv:2608. 15064v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Parsing visual documents into machine-readable representations is fundamental to document intelligence.
arXiv:2607. 24799v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models tend to hallucinate when answering domain-specific ques tions from scientific documents without prior fine-tuning.
arXiv:2608. 16628v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (M-RAG) systems are fundamentally limited by the binary connectivity paradigm of traditional simple graphs, which fails to capture the intricate, high-order correlations among heterogeneous entities, such as the N-ary relationships between a visual chart, its scattered textual descriptions, and underlying numerical data.
arXiv:2606. 03273v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Visual DeepSearch tasks require multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to resolve complex visual queries by repeatedly inspecting image regions, grounding reasoning in visual evidence, and connecting fine-grained clues across multiple steps.
arXiv:2602. 09616v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reliable retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems depend fundamentally on the retriever's ability to find relevant information.
arXiv:2607. 05382v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual generators excel at rendering, but they confidently fabricate what they do not know.
