UiS-IAI@LiveRAG: Retrieval-Augmented Information Nugget-Based Generation of Responses
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) faces challenges related to factual correctness, source attribution, and response completeness. The LiveRAG Challenge hosted at SIGIR'25 aims to advance RAG research using a fixed corpus and a shared, open-source LLM. We propose a modular pipeline that operates on information nuggets-minimal, atomic units of relevant information extracted from retrieved documents. This multistage pipeline encompasses query rewriting, passage retrieval and reranking, nugget d…

In clearing over 40 years of accumulated papers, deduct hardware, software, products I've helped make and magazines this little nugget of the past came out of the dust.

Incorporating Correlated Nugget Effects in Multivariate Spatial Models: An Application to Argo Ocean Data
Accurate analysis of global oceanographic data, such as temperature and salinity profiles from the Argo program, requires geostatistical models capable of capturing complex spatial dependencies. This study introduces Gaussian and non-Gaussian hierarchical multivariate Matérn-SPDE models with correlated nugget effects to account for small-scale variability and measurement error correlations. Using simulations and Argo data, we demonstrate that incorporating correlated nugget effects significant…

I'm retired, so my visits to LinkedIn are rare but scrolling through today, I came across this nugget. I don't know what Gen AI even is - and not interested in finding out - but why do you want something that you have no clue what it is or does.
