CORAL: Adaptive Retrieval Loop for Culturally-Aligned Multilingual RAG
CORAL introduces an adaptive retrieval methodology for multilingual RAG, addressing cultural misalignment by dynamically refining retrieval conditions (corpora and queries) based on evidence quality. It achieves significant accuracy improvements on culturally-grounded QA benchmarks, particularly for low-resource languages, demonstrating robust performance across diverse language models.

Retrieval Condition Misalignment
Identified as a primary failure mode for mRAG on culturally grounded queries, reframing multilingual retrieval as feedback-driven control.
CORAL Framework
Proposed an agentic framework jointly adapting retrieval corpora and performing planner-guided query rewriting with explicit evidence sufficiency check.
Consistent Performance Gains
Demonstrated consistent gains on culturally grounded QA benchmarks, reliably identifying target cultures across diverse languages.
CORAL's Feedback-Driven Retrieval Process
| Feature | Fixed-Scope RAG | CORAL (Our Method) |
|---|---|---|
| Retrieval Space | Fixed, typically pooled multilingual corpus | Dynamically adapted corpora |
| Query Adaptation | Query translation or fixed reformulation | Critique-guided iterative query rewriting |
| Cultural Alignment | Implicit/Fixed | Explicit feedback-driven refinement |
| Performance on Cultural Queries | Often struggles with misalignment | Consistently outperforms baselines |
| Feedback Loop | None | Iterative planner-critic loop |
Qualitative Example: Korean Jesa Bowing Practice
Retrieval over unified corpus (Call) yields superficial info; CORAL routes to culturally aligned Korean document, explicitly describing the two-bow ritual. This illustrates how CORAL reduces noise from indiscriminate corpus expansion and enables access to precise procedural knowledge for culturally specific queries.
