LLatrieval: LLM-Verified Retrieval for Verifiable Generation (2024.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large language models struggle with factual errors and often produce non-factual and fabricated content. |
| Approach: | They propose to use large language models to generate text with supporting documents to enable the user to flexibly verify the answer. |
| Outcome: | Experiments on ALCE show that LLatrieval significantly outperforms extensive baselines and achieves state-of-the-art results. |
ConvSearch-R1: Enhancing Query Reformulation for Conversational Search with Reasoning via Reinforcement Learning (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to conversational Query Reformulation (CQR) suffer from high dependency on external supervision from annotations or large language models and insufficient alignment between the rewriter and downstream retrievers. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that transforms context-dependent queries into self-contained forms suitable for off-the-shelf retrievers. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms existing methods on topiOCQA and QReCC datasets while using smaller 3B parameter models without external supervision. |
