Researchers have developed APS-RAG, a platform designed to make the vast operational knowledge of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) accessible through natural language queries. This system integrates various retrieval methods, including dense, sparse, and knowledge-graph channels, enhanced by a corrective agentic loop and a ReAct executor. An evaluation dataset, APS-Bench, was created to assess the system's performance, with the full Agentic GraphRAG achieving a 70.3% strict vital-nugget recall, significantly outperforming a naive BM25 baseline.
