CiteGuard-RAG: A Validation-Centered System for Evidence-Grounded Question Answering

A new arXiv paper presents CiteGuard-RAG, a retrieval-augmented generation system built around validating answers rather than only retrieving supporting passages. The authors argue that fetching evidence does not by itself guarantee that responses are properly grounded, carry valid citations, or are refused when appropriate. The work proposes a validation-focused design intended to enforce those checks.
