CiteRight Corpus

Research dataset accompanying the CS-552 (EPFL Spring 2026) Open Project Faithful RAG: Citation Accuracy and Retrieval Robustness in Domain-Specific Scientific Literature by Team CiteRight (Elie Bruno, Andrea Trugenberger, Faruk Zahiragic, Yusif Askari).

Contents

Path	Description
chunks/<paper_id>_<coarse|fine>.json	Pre-computed semantic chunks per paper (~2 000 chars coarse, ~300 chars fine).
indexes/<coarse|fine>.faiss	FAISS IndexFlatIP built from OpenAI text-embedding-3-small (1 536-d).
indexes/<coarse|fine>_metadata.json	Row → chunk mapping with paper id, section hierarchy, text.
processed/<paper_id>/document.md	Dolphin-1.5 parsed markdown (preserves sections, equations, tables).
processed/<paper_id>/metadata.json	Page-level layout metadata from the VLM.
raw_metadata/<paper_id>.json	OpenAlex bibliographic record (DOI, year, OA status).

Original PDFs are not redistributed: anyone who needs them can refetch from OpenAlex using the id field in raw_metadata/<paper_id>.json.
