Researchers have developed a novel system for question answering on long-context documents, particularly those with visual elements like charts and infographics. The system, named VisRAG-Ret, utilizes a frozen Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct model and incorporates three new modules: a capability-aware visual router (CAVR) to classify page types, a weak-to-strong page selection (WSPS) mechanism to distill answerability, and visual evidence threading (VET) to create layout-anchored paths for the generator. This approach significantly improves performance on various document visual question answering benchmarks, including DocVQA, ChartQA, and MMLongBench-Doc. AI
