Corpus2Skill: Distilling Enterprise Knowledge into Navigable Agent Skills for QA and RAG

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

Corpus2Skill is a retrieval architecture that transforms an enterprise knowledge base into a hierarchical skill directory, enabling an LLM agent to navigate from high-level summaries to specific documents and backtrack when necessary. On an enterprise customer‑support benchmark, it outperforms single‑shot dense, hybrid, hierarchical‑retrieval, and agentic RAG baselines in answer quality and grounding, with a moderate cost tradeoff. An eleven‑dataset study shows that corpus navigation excels on single‑domain corpora with a recoverable topical taxonomy but is less effective on open‑domain factoid pools or homogeneous‑tabular corpora, providing a design guideline for knowledge‑grounded systems.

Hybrid Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Knowledge Graph Expansion, RRF Fusion, and Per-Chunk Grounded Evaluation for Enterprise Document Search

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.

SimpleWikiSearch: A Clean Offline Wikipedia Environment for Agentic Search

arXiv:2607. 26070v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based agentic search systems are often evaluated as if the underlying LLM were the only component that matters, yet their measured performance also depends on the surrounding search environment: the Wikipedia snapshot, preprocessing pipeline, chunking policy, retrieval backend, tool schema, observation format, and answer submission rule.

Evidence Blindness in Direct Corpus Interaction: Persistent Navigation with AtlasNav

The paper introduces AtlasNav, a persistent multi‑view corpus‑navigation framework that organizes a corpus into a Corpus Atlas, enabling large‑language‑model agents to navigate efficiently under finite interaction budgets. AtlasNav reduces online inference cost by 30.21% and achieves 92.05% strict accuracy on BrowseComp‑Plus, while earlier and more rapidly realizing required evidence compared to dynamic‑workspace methods. The approach also transfers well to other corpora such as PhantomWiki and heterogeneous enterprise knowledge bases, demonstrating that effective agentic search relies on both accessible evidence and a reusable corpus representation.

LENS: In-Context Search via Latent Evidence Exploration over Dynamic Raw Documents

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.
