arXiv:2504. 20114v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems face significant challenges in multi-hop question answering (MHQA), where complex queries require synthesizing information across multiple document chunks.
arXiv:2606. 02581v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) faces a fundamental three-way tension: deeper retrieval improves factual grounding but inflates token costs and end-to-end latency.
arXiv:2606. 30473v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study retrieval over catalogs of structured metadata, where each record is a small schema whose fields answer different kinds of query.
arXiv:2606. 28370v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Enterprise business intelligence queries span structured warehouses and unstructured document repositories -- modalities with fundamentally different access methods, cost profiles, and correctness semantics.
arXiv:2608. 15438v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Building approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) indexes at billion scale is often dominated by expensive global clustering or graph construction, making time-to-index a first-order systems concern.
arXiv:2608. 16309v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Static pruning is widely used to accelerate sparse neural retrieval, yet existing studies each validate their conclusions within a single custom pipeline, leaving it unclear which findings transfer to modern engines with different index organizations and dynamic pruning mechanisms.
