• Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have received significant attention by achieving remarkable performance across various tasks. However, their fixed context length poses challenges when processing long documents or maintaining extended conversations. This paper proposes a method called \textit{Selective Context} that employs self-information to filter out less informative content, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the fixed context length. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on tasks of summarisation and question answering across different data sources, including academic papers, news articles, and conversation transcripts.

  We propose a novel integrated Long-Context Large Language Model (FltLM) FltLM incorporates a context filter with a soft mask mechanism, identifying and dynamically excluding irrelevant content to concentrate on pertinent information. Experimental results demonstrate that FltLM significantly outperforms supervised fine-tuning and retrieval-based methods in complex QA scenarios.

  We introduce MemWalker, a method that processes the long context into a tree of summary nodes. Upon receiving a query, the model navigates this tree in search of relevant information, and responds once it gathers sufficient information. We show that, beyond effective reading, MemWalker enhances explainability by highlighting the reasoning steps as it interactively reads the text; pinpointing the relevant text segments related to the query.
