fred_core_document_corpus_v1

This dataset contains a heterogeneous corpus of PDF documents used to validate and benchmark the ingestion, vectorization, and retrieval (RAG) components of the Fred platform.

It includes real-world documents from three distinct domains:

Folder	Source	Description
`ECB/`	European Central Bank	Recent ECB Working Papers (economic research).
`OCDE/`	Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development	French-language policy and analysis papers.
`ARXIV-AI/`	arXiv.org (Artificial Intelligence category)	AI-related scientific preprints from September 2025.

Each folder contains between 8 and 15 representative PDF files, with typical file sizes between 300 KB and 2 MB.

⚙️ Intended Use

The corpus is designed for functional and performance testing of Fred’s document ingestion and retrieval subsystems, including:

Document ingestion pipeline: testing metadata extraction, text conversion, and storage backends (e.g. MinIO, OpenSearch, DuckDB).
Embedding & vectorization: validating chunking, embedding quality, and retrieval accuracy.
RAG agents: verifying contextual retrieval within Fred’s DocumentsExpert and Knowledge Flow agents.
Library selection & tagging: evaluating how agents choose contextually relevant sources from mixed-domain libraries.

This corpus is not a production dataset; it is meant for open-source experimentation, demos, and reproducibility of Fred agent behavior.
