VaRS-Doc: Interpretation-Aware Variant Representations via Latent Self-Probing for Visual Document Retrieval

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Visual document retrieval has recently become increasingly important in applications such as enterprise search, scientific literature discovery, and retrieval-augmented generation. These applications depend on efficiently identifying query-relevant pages across large collections of visually rich documents.

VLD-RAG: Agentic Vision-Language Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Long, Visually-Rich Multi-Page Documents

arXiv:2607. 24748v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visually-rich documents such as reports, slides, and manuals often distribute the evidence needed to answer a question across multiple pages, mixing text with layout cues, tables, charts, and figures.

PIXELRAG: Web Screenshots Beat Text for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

arXiv:2606. 28344v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Augmenting large language models (LLMs) with retrieved web text has become a dominant paradigm, yet the web is not natively textual: existing systems depend on complex parsing pipelines that linearize HTML and discard layout, visual structure, and formatting.

DocMemo: Dynamic Evidence Discovery via Probabilistic Memory-Guided Retrieval for Multi-Modal Document Understanding

arXiv:2608. 07067v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-document understanding requires locating sparse and heterogeneous evidence across hundreds of pages, yet existing systems remain limited by static retrieval and fragile cross-round memory.
