arXiv:2605.27156v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances Large Language Models (LLMs) by incorporating external knowledge, particularly for long-tail domains such as literary works. However, the critical step of document segmentation in RAG remains largely underexplored. Existing strategies are typically semantically blind and overlook the complicated narrative structures of literary works, often resulting in fragmented plots and unclear references that severely hinder retrieval and generation performance. To address this, we propose LitSeg, a novel narrati
The increasing sophistication and application of Large Language Models (LLMs) to complex domains like literature highlight current limitations in fundamental RAG architectures, necessitating targeted improvements.
Improving document segmentation for RAG in literary works demonstrates a broader trend towards highly specialized and context-aware AI applications, which will impact information retrieval across various complex data types.
Current RAG systems are often 'semantically blind,' leading to fragmented understanding; narrative-aware segmentation offers a path to more coherent and accurate knowledge integration from unstructured, complex texts.
