# VORTEXRAG Benchmark Evaluation Dataset

Benchmark evaluation data, results, and per-layer ablation scores for the VORTEXRAG 7-layer causal RAG framework.

## Description

This dataset contains:
1. **Main benchmark results** comparing VORTEXRAG against 7 baseline systems across NQ, HotpotQA, MuSiQue, and 2WikiMultiHopQA
2. **Full ablation study** showing per-layer contribution (configs A through H)
3. **Per-dataset breakdown** showing performance on 6 evaluation datasets
4. **Domain preset evaluation** for all 11 domain configurations
5. **Hyperparameter sensitivity** sweep data for τ and θ_CPG
6. **Latency breakdown** per layer on A100 GPU
