LARAG: Link-Aware Retrieval Strategy for RAG Systems in Hyperlinked Technical Documentation

Dimensions overall score 7.0

• A lightweight retrieval strategy for RAG that leverages hyperlink topology in technical documentation to improve answer quality and efficiency. However, standard embedding-based retrievers treat naturally structured corpora, such as technical manuals, as flat collections of passages, thereby overlooking the hyperlink topology that users rely on when navigating such content.problem 35%

• ScienceToStartup currently rates this 7.0/10 on the public viability pass. In a benchmark of twenty expert-designed queries over Rulex Platform technical documentation and four prompting strategies, LARAG consistently improves answer quality, achieving the highest BERTScore F1, while retrieving fewer chunks and generating fewer tokens than a baseline RAG architecture used for comparison. Code availability is flagged in the production record; the public repository link still needs proof alignment.result 35%
