RobustVisRAG

RobustVisRAG enhances Vision-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (VisRAG) under visual degradations through causality-guided semantic–degradation disentanglement. By explicitly separating degradation and semantic factors inside the vision encoder, our framework suppresses degradation-induced bias while preserving task-relevant representations — without introducing additional inference cost.
