STAIR uses a document’s table of contents (ToC) to retrieve the leaf section likely to contain an answer, rather than selecting fixed-length text chunks. It is trained on queries paired with the ToC and gold section titles, then generates a leaf title. On SearchTome, it achieves 82.6% Recall@1 versus DSI’s 76.9%; this evaluates gold-section retrieval on structured books with synthetic questions.
