Researchers have developed and deployed a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system for Uzbek legal questions, addressing challenges in low-resource languages and operational constraints. The system operates in both a cloud-based mode for optimal quality and an on-premises mode for data privacy, utilizing open-weight models on limited hardware. They created new benchmarks for retrieval and end-to-end performance, finding that fine-tuning can effectively close the gap between open and proprietary models for Uzbek, leading to the development of the UTE-1 text embedder.
