Abstract
Systems or techniques are provided for facilitating retrieval augmented generative question and answer boosting. In various embodiments, a system can access a plain text question regarding a scientific instrument. In various aspects, the system can generate, via a large language model that references a document-graph repository, a structured or unstructured answer for the plain text question. In various instances, the document-graph repository can comprise a plurality of document-graphs that respectively correspond to a plurality of technical documents. In various cases, for a first document-graph that corresponds to a first technical document, leaf nodes of the first document-graph can represent respective text blocks written in the first technical document, and non-leaf nodes of the first document-graph can respectively represent a document title, one or more section headings, and one or more scientific instrument identifiers written in the first technical document and beneath which the respective text blocks are nested.
