arXiv:2606. 15482v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ricci flow is a curvature-guided diffusion process that deforms space by shrinking regions of high positive curvature and expanding those with negative curvature.
As retrieval systems scale, high-quality reranking becomes increasingly important. However, most existing rerankers, whether encoder-based or decoder-based, jointly encode the query and passage, tightly coupling their computation and limiting deployment efficiency as well as flexibility.
arXiv:2603. 29875v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: One of the key problems in Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems is that chunk-based retrieval pipelines represent the source chunks as atomic objects, mixing the information contained within such a chunk into a single vector.
arXiv:2607. 05469v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unsupervised graph clustering is a fundamental technique for uncovering underlying semantic patterns in large-scale networks.
Detecting communities in heterophilic graphs -- where connected nodes often belong to different classes -- is hard for unsupervised methods: classical modularity and spectral methods are feature agnostic, while deep graph-clustering methods rely on contrastive or generative machinery that is opaque. We propose Curvature-Guided Sheaf Diffusion (CGSD), a fully unsupervised community-detection algorithm that uses the discrete Forman--Ricci curvature of each edge as its single topological signal, propagated through every stage of an end-to-end pipeline.
arXiv:2607. 27530v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph-text retrieval typically maps a graph and its description to a single embedding, even when a query concerns only one semantic aspect, such as a class label or molecular property.
arXiv:2608. 14841v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-document visual question answering (VQA) over documents of tens to hundreds of pages mixing text, tables, charts, and figures typically follows retrieve-then-read pipelines.
arXiv:2606. 30249v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Detecting communities in heterophilic graphs -- where connected nodes often belong to different classes -- is hard for unsupervised methods: classical modularity and spectral methods are feature agnostic, while deep graph-clustering methods rely on contrastive or generative machinery that is opaque.
arXiv:2606. 28367v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is routinely extended with methods meant to improve retrieval: query expansion, hierarchical and cross-document summarization, graph-based expansion, per-query routing, rank fusion, and corrective re-retrieval.
arXiv:2602. 12187v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Search-Augmented Generative Engines (SAGE) have emerged as a new paradigm for information access, bridging web-scale retrieval with generative capabilities to deliver synthesized answers.
arXiv:2604. 23336v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Unlike traditional fact-based retrieval, rationale-based retrieval typically necessitates cross-encoding of query-document pairs using large language models, incurring substantial computational costs.
arXiv:2601. 18579v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Graph RAG on corpus graphs enhances retrieval by leveraging intermediate node content as contextual clues to uncover unretrieved oracle nodes.
arXiv:2602. 23665v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present Geodesic Semantic Search (GSS), a retrieval system that learns node-specific Riemannian metrics on citation graphs to enable geometry-aware semantic search.
