RAGthoven: A Configurable Toolkit for RAG-enabled LLM Experimentation (2025.coling-demos)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly altered the landscape of Natural Language Processing (NLP), but their use as a baseline method has not been extensive. |
| Approach: | They propose a tool for automatic evaluation of RAG-based pipelines that provides a simple yet powerful abstraction. |
| Outcome: | The proposed tool provides an automatic evaluation of RAG-based pipelines. |

| Challenge: | Large language models (LLMs) can only handle texts a few thousand tokens long, limiting their applications on longer sequence inputs, such as books, reports, and codebases. |
| Approach: | They propose a bilingual, multi-task benchmark for long context understanding that extends context windows and more sophisticated memory mechanisms to improve models' long context capabilities. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms open-source models but struggles on longer contexts. |
QUDeval: The Evaluation of Questions Under Discussion Discourse Parsing (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing evaluation metrics poorly approximate parser quality, says a new study . questions under discussion is a linguistic framework that views discourse as asking questions and answering them . |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for automatic evaluation of QUD parsing . they use a dataset of fine-grained evaluation of 2,190 QUD questions . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework shows that satisfying constraints of QUD is still challenging for modern LLMs. |

| Challenge: | evaluating the quality of generated text is a difficult problem for large language models. |
| Approach: | They propose a dataset for multilingual, multifaceted summarization evaluation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset can be used to train multilingual summarization systems . it shows that the dataset performs well on the out-of-domain meta-evaluation benchmarks TRUE and mFACE . |
Towards Automatic Evaluation of Dialog Systems: A Model-Free Off-Policy Evaluation Approach (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for evaluation of dialog systems are expensive and not scalable . a framework for estimating human evaluation scores is proposed to bridge this gap . |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for estimating human evaluation scores based on off-policy evaluation . they use language quality metrics for single-turn response generation given a fixed context . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms existing methods in terms of correlation with human evaluation scores. |
Evaluating Factuality in Cross-lingual Summarization (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing evaluation metrics for monolingual summarization require translation to evaluate the factuality of cross-lingual summmarization. |
| Approach: | They propose to analyze cross-lingual factuality by collecting annotations and generated summaries from models at summary level and sentence level. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset shows that over 50% of generated summaries contain factual errors with different characteristics from monolingual summarization. |
