MiA-RAG is a Retrieval-Augmented Generation method that creates a hierarchical 'whole-book brain' for long documents, using global semantic frames to boost QA accuracy.

How does MiA-RAG improve on standard RAG?

It adds multi-level indexing for holistic understanding, lifting recall 15-25% on long texts by avoiding context dilution.

Can I use MiA-RAG for my own projects?

Yes — open-source implementations are emerging; integrate via Python libs for any long-doc QA needs.
