arXiv:2603. 26815v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems for financial document QA typically follow a chunk-based paradigm: documents are split into fragments, embedded, and retrieved by similarity.

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.

Hybrid Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Knowledge Graph Expansion, RRF Fusion, and Per-Chunk Grounded Evaluation for Enterprise Document Search describes DocuSearch, an offline multi‑agent system designed for telecom network operations. The system combines semantic vector search, BM25 full‑text search, and knowledge‑graph neighbor expansion, merges the results via Reciprocal Rank Fusion, and reranks with a cross‑encoder before pruning with Maximal Marginal Relevance. A per‑chunk evaluation loop ensures only grounded answers are returned, achieving Precision@10 of 0.69, Recall@10 of 0.79, and an 89.6% grounding rate—improvements of 15, 16, and 18.4 percentage points over a dense‑only baseline.
