Data-Aware Socratic Query Refinement in Database Systems

Ruiyuan Zhang, Chrysanthi Kosyfaki, Xiaofang Zhou

In this paper, we propose Data-Aware Socratic Guidance (DASG), a dialogue-based query enhancement framework that embeds \linebreak interactive clarification as a first-class operat…

Reading Between the Timelines: RAG for Answering Diachronic Questions

Kwun Hang Lau, Ruiyuan Zhang, Weijie Shi +2

While Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) excels at injecting static, factual knowledge into Large Language Models (LLMs), it exhibits a critical deficit in handling longitudinal…
