Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has advanced open-domain question answering by incorporating external information into model reasoning. However, raw retrieved content often suffers from low signal-to-noise ratio, where answer-supportive information is diluted by irrelevant material, and error accumulation, where incomplete or misleading content degrades multi-hop reasoning. To address these challenges, we propose EviNoteRAG, a framework that enhances RAG through quality-augmented evidence notes. The model is trained to generate Supportive-Evidence Notes (SENs), concise abstractions that preserve only answer-critical information and explicitly highlight key and uncertain content to improve reasoning accuracy. To further ensure note quality, we introduce an entailment-based Evidence Quality Reward (EQR), which incentivizes SENs to be logically sufficient for deriving the correct answer. Experiments on both in-domain and out-of-domain benchmarks demonstrate that EviNoteRAG achieves state-of-the-art performance, with relative F1 gains of 20% on HotpotQA (+0.093), 40% on Bamboogle (+0.151), and 91% on 2Wiki (+0.256), while also improving training stability and efficiency.

Tabular data, which accounts for over 80% of enterprise data assets, is vital in various fields. With growing concerns about privacy protection and data-sharing restrictions, generating high-quality synthetic tabular data has become essential. Recent advancements show that large language models (LLMs) can effectively generate realistic tabular data by leveraging semantic information and overcoming the challenges of high-dimensional data that arise from one-hot encoding. However, current methods do not fully utilize the rich information available in tables. To address this, we introduce AI Generative Table based on prompt enhancement, a novel approach that utilizes metadata information, such as table descriptions and schemas, as prompts to generate ultra-high-quality synthetic data. To overcome the token limit constraints of LLMs, we propose long-token partitioning algorithms that enable AIGT to model tables of any scale. AIGT achieves state-of-the-art performance on 14 out of 20 public datasets and two real industry datasets within the Alipay risk control system.
