Literature Indexing + Retrieval Engine

Top-tier papers + Battle-tested research best practices

From literature review to publication

Wherever the work goes, the evidence goes with it.

Your agent grounds its answers in top-tier papers and battle-tested research practices, so nothing rests on guesswork.

Lune indexes every paper in full-text, so that your agent compiles its answers based on the exact sentences, numbers, and equations from prior works.

You

I'm new to retrieval-augmented generation. What are the foundational papers, and what exactly do they claim?

Your agent

calledLunesearch_papers ·get_paper_fulltext [1]

Three papers anchor the area: RAG [1] introduced the retrieve-then-generate recipe, REALM [2] pretrained retrieval end to end, and Fusion-in-Decoder [3] scaled it across many passages. More recent work makes retrieval adaptive: Self-RAG [4] lets the model decide when to retrieve and critique what it generates. Here is RAG's setup, in its own words:

We introduce RAG models where the parametric memory is a pre-trained seq2seq model and the non-parametric memory is a dense vector index of Wikipedia, accessed with a pre-trained neural retriever.

Stop Reference Hallucinations

Only where the field actually moves.

Lune indexes only high-quality venues based on CORE and CCF rankings, in full. No open-web filler, no clickbait, so every answer stays grounded in real papers you can cite.

Knowledge cutoff

Top-tier venues

Lune only indexes high-quality venues based on CORE and CCF rankings, in full text.

No missed SOTAs

Using Lune, new accepted papers at top-tier venues reach your agent the day they post. The knowledge cutoff keeps moving.

Beyond papers: the best-practices library

A curated corpus on peer review, novelty, ablation design, evaluation, and venue choice. This is the battle-tested half of grounding, what reviewers at top venues actually expect, surfaced to your agent only when it is relevant.
