PaperQA2 (FutureHouse)

A high-accuracy retrieval-augmented generation package focused on scientific PDFs (and Office docs, source code). PaperQA2 combines agentic document retrieval with metadata enrichment (incl. retraction checks) to answer questions over scientific corpora with citations. Sits in the knowledge-layer block of the RISE diagram as a building block, not a full pipeline.

What it does

Reports superhuman performance on scientific QA, summarization, and contradiction-detection tasks in the accompanying 2024 paper, with particular attention to citation accuracy and retraction awareness. Distributed as a battle-tested library that other RISE projects can embed.

Bring it into the standard

A pipeline built outside E2ER can meet the standard by describing its steps as a template, attaching the floor of checks and publishing evaluation records. Its authors keep ownership and credit.
