Abstract

PILAR unifies text, tables, and figures from multimodal document corpora into a single page-grounded evidence representation. Assertions are linked through shared entities into a graph, giving open-domain QA agents structured, traceable evidence across pages and documents.

Key Contribution

Entity-linked assertion graphs unify text, tables, and figures into a single page-grounded evidence representation for open-domain multimodal QA agents.
