Operational safety in mission-critical environments requires AI systems that are accurate, interpretable, and resistant to hallucination. We present an agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework, REFSafe, for grounded hazard analysis and automated safety report generation. The system integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) with structured operational data, historical incident repositories, policy documents, and external authoritative sources. Through iterative agentic reasoning, the framework retrieves, verifies, and synthesizes evidence prior to generation, enforcing citation-backed outputs with explicit source attribution (documents, links, and prior events) to ensure traceability and trust.To mitigate hallucinations and unsupported claims, all risk assessments and forecasts are constrained to retrieved evidence, with confidence signals derived from retrieval relevance and source consistency. A transparent pipeline enables subject matter experts (SMEs) to validate predictions, and provide structured feedback, forming a continuous performance calibration loop. Preliminary deployment demonstrates improved reliability in hazard detection and safety/vulnerability report generation. This work advances trustworthy, evidence-grounded AI for predictive safety intelligence in mission-critical operations.

The Rosetta Balcanica is an ongoing effort in resource expansion for low-resource Western Balkans languages. This effort focuses on discovering and using accurately translated, officially mapped, and curated parallel language resources and their preparation and use as neural machine translation (NMT) datasets. Some of the guiding principles, practices, and methods employed by Rosetta Balcanica are generalizable and could apply to other low-resource language resource expansion efforts. With this goal in mind, we present our rationale and approach to discovering and using meticulously translated and officially curated low-resource language resources and our use of these resources to develop a parallel “gold standard” translation training resource. Secondly, we describe our specific methodology for NMT dataset development from these resources and its publication to a widely-used and accessible repository for natural language processing (Hugging Face Hub). Finally, we discuss the trade-offs and limitations of our current approach, and the roadmap for future development and the expansion of the current Rosetta Balcanica language resource.
