A Hybrid Dual-Branch Retrieval and Chain-of-Thought Reasoning Framework for Multimodal Legal Question Answering

HybridRAG-BN: A Retrieval-Augmented Framework with Fine-Tuned Verification for Bangla KBQA

This work proposes HybridRAG-BN, a retrieval-augmented framework for Bangla KBQA that integrates hybrid retrieval using BM25 and BGE-M3, answer generation using the GGUF version of Gemma-4-31B-Instruct, and a LoRA-fine-tuned Gemma-4-31B-Instruct model for answer verification and refinement.

RA-QGQA: A Question-Driven Pipeline for Corpus-Grounded Knowledge Graph Verification

RA-QGQA is presented, which recasts triple verification as a question-driven, corpus-grounded task, and demonstrates RA-QGQA as an interactive web system in which users import a KG and its source corpus, verify all triples in a single pass, and inspect the passages that justify its verdict.

NOWJ@COLIEE 2026: Adaptive Pipelines for Legal Retrieval and Reasoning

This paper presents the methodologies and results of the NOWJ team's participation across all five tasks of the COLIEE 2026 competition and adopts a retrieval-augmented generation framework with dense retrieval, attention-based reranking, and few-shot-prompted LLM reasoning.

Dynamic Multi-Path Retrieval for Knowledge-based Visual Question Answering

Dynamic Multi-Path Retrieval for KB-VQA (DMRAG) is proposed, which re-trieves candidates through multiple retrieval paths that capture complementary visual and semantic cues and performs Question-Adaptive Gated Fusion to balance contributions from different modalities according to the query’s information need.

Evaluating RAG approaches for Question Answering

An Intelligent PDF Question-Answering System; A Retrieval-Augmented Generation Approach

Due to the surge in digital document creation, intelligent systems that can effectively retrieve accurate information from unstructured PDF content have become a necessity. Current keyword-based search techniques lack semantic meaning, while large language models (LLMs), when utilized individually, produce hallucinated...
