arXiv:2605. 04495v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) relies on evidence ranking to determine what information is exposed to the generator, yet existing retrieval and reranking methods primarily estimate query--document relevance.

arXiv:2608. 11342v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) is a standard approach for adapting LLMs to a target distribution, but in settings such as personalization, where each author requires separate weight access, optimization, storage, and retraining, its costs become prohibitive.
