arXiv papers tackle long document retrieval with new chunking and hybrid strategies

Two new arXiv papers explore advanced methods for improving retrieval from long documents. The first paper, "Calibrating Document-Local Boundaries for Contextual Chunk Retrieval," introduces a framework to adapt discriminative scaling and chunk-aware routing to enhance contextual chunk retrieval. The second paper, "Improving Contextual Retrieval for Long Documents using Semantic Chunking and Hybrid Retrieval Strategies," proposes a hybrid retrieval system that combines knowledge graphs with dense vector retrieval for more robust handling of complex, multi-hop queries. AI

    Calibrating Document-Local Boundaries for Contextual Chunk Retrieval

    Late Chunking encodes an entire document before pooling at chunk boundaries, preserving document context in local retrieval units. Chunk-level post-training improves context-dependent retrieval, but shared context can make semantically similar same-document negatives difficult to…

    Improving Contextual Retrieval for Long Documents using Semantic Chunking and Hybrid Retrieval Strategies

    arXiv:2611.08498v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The vast amount of information available in lengthy, distributed documents makes finding relevant answers difficult, especially when the answer requires connecting evidence from multiple sources. Standard Retrieval-Augmented Gener…
