While ColBERT is an effective neural retrieval architecture, it requires a heavy index structure to support candidate set retrieval based on approximated token embeddings, gathering and decompressing document token embeddings, and applying the MaxSim operation. Indexes in PLAID and similar ColBER...

Generation of citation-backed reports is a primary use case for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. While open-source evaluation tools exist for various RAG tasks, tools designed for report generation are lacking. Accordingly, we introduce Auto-ARGUE, a robust LLM-based implementation o...
