Parametric Knowledge in RAG-SFT for Domain-Specific Document Generation
Quick summary
arXiv:2603.23047v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) fine-tuning has shown substantial improvements over vanilla RAG, yet most studies target document question answering, leaving open whether these gains transfer to specialized tasks. We study supervised RAG fine-tuning (RAG-SFT) for requirements document generation in the electronics engineering domain, adapting two 7B models under two different training data strategies. Because Rouge and BertScore poorly capture factuality on long technical text, we introduce C-FEX, a claim-based evaluation pipeline

Why it matters
The value of this work lies as much in how it was tested as in the claim itself. Sample design, baselines, uncertainty and replication help separate a laboratory result from real-world impact.
