New REPAIR framework boosts scientific retrieval accuracy · 2 sources tracked

Researchers have developed REPAIR, a novel data augmentation framework designed to improve the accuracy of scientific information retrieval systems. This self-evolving framework addresses challenges posed by long-tailed concepts and the fact-sensitive nature of scientific corpora, which often hinder dense retrievers and LLM integrations. REPAIR iteratively generates training data by identifying knowledge gaps, expanding evidence through API guidance, and refining distinctions via hard negative mining, thereby grounding retrieval in factual reality. Experiments show REPAIR surpasses 19 established baselines across nine materials science and biomedical benchmarks, underscoring the importance of factually augmenting data for long-tail deficits.
