Advanced Photon Source deploys APS-RAG for operational knowledge access

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. AI

IMPACT This system offers a transferable workflow for AI assistance in large scientific instruments, improving access to operational knowledge.

    A corrective agentic hybrid RAG and an operations-grounded evaluation for a scientific facility

    Scientific user facilities accumulate decades of operational knowledge that no single search index covers: electronic logbooks, technical documents, internal wikis, operations chat messages, maintenance records, and live control-system data. We present APS-RAG, Advanced Photon So…
