arXiv:2604. 09552v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Engineering rulebooks and technical standards contain multimodal information like dense text, tables, and illustrations that are challenging for retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems.
arXiv:2609.23769v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The disambiguation of semantically similar statutory text across jurisdictions is a retrieval problem that existing methods do not solve. This inter-co...

The paper introduces TOPOGRAPHRAG-BENCH, a benchmark for evaluating multimodal Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) systems on layout‑grounded evidence reasoning. It contains 2,024 questions derived from 201 long, visually rich documents, designed around three controlled topologies—single‑hop retrieval, bridge‑chain reasoning, and multi‑source synthesis—while employing counterfactual validation to ensure question integrity. Experiments show that multimodal GraphRAG outperforms text‑only and page‑level visual retrieval models, yet still struggles with incomplete visual‑textual alignment and multi‑unit composition, highlighting the need for GraphRAG systems that explicitly model document layouts and cross‑modal evidence alignment.
arXiv:2608. 15056v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems often rely on long unstructured contexts or aggressively expanded evidence graphs, which can introduce noisy evidence, weaken multi-hop reasoning, and increase unsupported generation.
