• Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) excel in various language tasks but they often generate incorrect information, a phenomenon known as "hallucinations". Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) aims to mitigate this by using document retrieval for accurate responses. However, RAG still faces hallucinations due to vague queries. This study aims to improve RAG by optimizing query generation with a query-document alignment score, refining queries using LLMs for better precision and efficiency of document retrieval. Experiments have shown that our approach improves document retrieval, resulting in an average accuracy gain of 1.6%.

  RAG has recently demonstrated the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) in the knowledge-intensive tasks such as Question-Answering (QA) We have found that even though there is low relevance between some critical documents and query, it is possible to retrieve the remaining documents by combining parts of the documents with the query. A two-stage retrieval framework called Dynamic-Relevant Retrieval-Augmented Generation (DR-RAG) is proposed to improve document retrieval recall and the accuracy of answers.

  Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a prevalent approach to infuse a private knowledge base of documents with Large Language Models (LLM) to build Generative Q&A (Question-Answering) systems. We propose the 'Blended RAG' method of leveraging semantic search techniques, such as Vector indexes and Sparse indexes, blended with hybrid query strategies. Our study achieves better retrieval results and sets new benchmarks for IR (Information Retrieval) datasets like NQ and TREC-COVID datasets.
