New Q2D-Web benchmark evaluates retrieval for agentic RAG systems

Researchers have introduced Q2D-Web, a new large-scale benchmark designed to evaluate retrieval systems within agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines. This benchmark addresses limitations in existing datasets by pairing a substantial 190 million-document web corpus with 70,000 agent-reformulated search queries derived from real user conversations. Q2D-Web offers multiple relevance judgment sets and explores subcorpus sampling techniques to facilitate faster evaluation while maintaining model ranking accuracy. AI

IMPACT Provides a new standard for evaluating retrieval components in complex RAG systems, potentially improving agentic AI performance.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a new academic benchmark for evaluating AI retrieval systems.
