Beyond Relevance: A New Framework for Utility-Centric Retrieval in the LLM Era
This tutorial paper posits that the rise of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) changes the fundamental goal of information retrieval. Instead of finding documents relevant to a query, systems must now retrieve information that is most *useful* to an LLM for generating a high-quality answer. This requires new evaluation frameworks and system designs.
