RAG improves factual grounding in LLMs, yet diagnosing whether outputs are faithfully supported by retrieved evidence remains challenging. We present FusionRAG-Ex, an interactive framework for explainable and faithfulness-aware RAG analysis. FusionRAG-Ex integrates retrieval relevance and token-level confidence into explanation generation, producing highlights that distinguish grounded from weakly supported responses. The system enables real-time inspection of retrieval scores, answer correctness, and explanation signals across retrievers, LLMs, and datasets, supporting systematic analysis and development of more trustworthy RAG systems.

Abstract

RAG improves factual grounding in LLMs, yet diagnosing whether outputs are faithfully supported by retrieved evidence remains challenging. We present FusionRAG-Ex, an interactive framework for explainable and faithfulness-aware RAG analysis. FusionRAG-Ex integrates retrieval relevance and token-level confidence into explanation generation, producing highlights that distinguish grounded from weakly supported responses. The system enables real-time inspection of retrieval scores, answer correctness, and explanation signals across retrievers, LLMs, and datasets, supporting systematic analysis and development of more trustworthy RAG systems.
