+- `create_index.py` - Helper script for FAISS index creation
+- `generate_report.py` - Script to generate retrieval performance reports
+- `RAG_Demo.ipynb` - Interactive Jupyter notebook with example queries
+
+**Features:**
+- Automatic download of 50 arXiv cs.CL papers via arXiv API
+- PDF text extraction using PyMuPDF
+- Sliding window chunking (512 tokens, 50 token overlap)
+- Dense embedding generation with sentence-transformers
+- FAISS index creation with L2 normalization
+- Complete error handling and progress tracking
+
+### 2. Data & Index ✓
+
+**Location:** `data/index/`
+
+**Files:**
+- `faiss_index.bin` (1.6 MB) - FAISS index with 1,078 vectors
+- `chunks.json` (3.5 MB) - 1,078 text chunks from 50 papers
+- `metadata.json` (199 KB) - Metadata for each chunk (paper ID, title, chunk index)
+- `embeddings.npy` (1.6 MB) - Raw embeddings (1078 × 384 dimensions)
+
+**Additional Data:**
+- `data/pdfs/` - 50 downloaded arXiv PDF files
+- `data/papers_metadata.json` (76 KB) - Full metadata for all papers
+
+**Statistics:**
+- Total Papers: 50
+- Total Chunks: 1,078
+- Embedding Dimension: 384
+- Model: all-MiniLM-L6-v2
+
+### 3. Retrieval Report ✓
+
+**File:** `retrieval_report.txt` (12 KB)
+
+**Contents:**
+- 5 example queries with top-3 retrieved passages each
+- Paper titles, IDs, and distance scores for each result
+- Text excerpts (400 characters) from retrieved chunks
+- System statistics
+
+**Example Queries:**
+1. "What are transformer models and how do they work?"
+2. "Explain attention mechanisms in natural language processing"
+3. "How do large language models learn from data?"
+4. "What techniques are used for training language models?"
+5. "How do we evaluate the performance of NLP models?"
+
+**Key Findings:**
+- Average retrieval distance: 0.8-1.3 (normalized L2)
+- Papers cover recent advances in transformers, LLMs, and NLP techniques
+- System successfully retrieves relevant passages for diverse queries
+
+### 4. FastAPI Service ✓
+
+**File:** `main.py`
+
+**Endpoints:**
+1. `GET /` - API information and available endpoints
+2. `GET /search?q=<query>&k=<num>` - Search for relevant passages
+3. `GET /health` - Health check and resource status
+4. `GET /stats` - System statistics (papers, chunks, dimensions)
+5. `GET /paper/{paper_id}` - Retrieve all chunks for a specific paper
+
+**Features:**
+- Automatic resource loading on startup
+- Pydantic models for request/response validation
+- Error handling with appropriate HTTP status codes
+- CORS support and production-ready configuration
+- Efficient query embedding and FAISS search
+
+**Example Usage:**
+```bash
+# Start server
+python main.py
+
+# Search query
+curl "http://localhost:8000/search?q=transformer%20models&k=3"
+
+# Get statistics
+curl "http://localhost:8000/stats"
+```
+
+**API Response Example:**
+```json
+{
+  "query": "transformer models",
+  "num_results": 3,
+  "results": [
+    {
+      "chunk_text": "...",
+      "paper_id": "2511.10566v1",
+      "paper_title": "Impact of Layer Norm...",
+      "chunk_index": 14,
+      "distance": 0.9716
+    },
+    ...
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Additional Documentation
+
+### Setup Instructions
+- Comprehensive `README.md` with installation and usage guide
+- `requirements.txt` with all dependencies
+- Troubleshooting section for common issues
+
+### Interactive Demo
+- `RAG_Demo.ipynb` - Jupyter notebook with:
+  - Resource loading and verification
+  - Search function implementation
+  - 5+ example queries with formatted results
+  - Performance analysis and statistics
+  - Custom query capability
+
+## Verification Commands
+
+```bash
+# Verify all files exist
+ls -lh data/index/
+# Output: chunks.json, embeddings.npy, faiss_index.bin, metadata.json
+
+# Count papers
+ls -1 data/pdfs/ | wc -l
+# Output: 50
+
+# Verify index size
+python -c "import faiss; idx=faiss.read_index('data/index/faiss_index.bin'); print(f'Vectors: {idx.ntotal}')"
+# Output: Vectors: 1078
+
+# Test API
+curl "http://localhost:8000/stats"
+# Output: {"total_chunks": 1078, "total_papers": 50, ...}
+```
+
+## Technical Highlights
+
+### Chunking Strategy
+- Sliding window approach balances context and precision
+- 512-token chunks capture meaningful semantic units
+- 50-token overlap prevents information loss at boundaries
+
+### Embedding Quality
