PACE Framework Relieves RAG Bottlenecks via Evidence Frontloading
_reachsumit · x · 2026-08-27
Paper presents PACE, a training-free framework that addresses RAG bottlenecks through evidence frontloading and pressure-adaptive budgeting.
Key Findings & Mechanics:
- Shifting Bottlenecks: Upstream reranking often dominates latency under high query rates or large reranking budgets.
- Evidence Frontloading: Reorders candidates by marginal evidence coverage, prioritizing query-relevant, complementary documents for multi-hop reasoning.
- Dynamic Budgeting: Dynamically adjusts the reranking budget based on the relative pressure between the reranker and the LLM to cut latency without losing recall.
The objective is proven to be monotone submodular, offering a $(1-1/e)$ approximation guarantee via greedy selection.
