• Abstract summary: Concept Coverage-based Query set Generation (CCQGen) framework designed to generate a set of queries with comprehensive coverage of the document's concepts. We identify concepts not sufficiently covered by previous queries, and leverage them as conditions for subsequent query generation. This approach guides each new query to complement the previous ones, aiding in a thorough understanding of the document.

• Abstract: In specialized fields like the scientific domain, constructing large-scale human-annotated datasets poses a significant challenge due to the need for domain expertise. Recent methods have employed large language models to generate synthetic queries, which serve as proxies for actual user queries. However, they lack control over the content generated, often resulting in incomplete coverage of academic concepts in documents. We introduce Concept Coverage-based Query set Generation (CCQGen) framework, designed to generate a set of queries with comprehensive coverage of the document's concepts. A key distinction of CCQGen is that it adaptively adjusts the generation process based on the previously generated queries. We identify concepts not sufficiently covered by previous queries, and leverage them as conditions for subsequent query generation. This approach guides each new query to complement the previous ones, aiding in a thorough understanding of the document. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CCQGen significantly enhances query quality and retrieval performance.

  We propose GGatrieval to dynamically update queries and filter high-quality, reliable retrieval documents. We parse the user query into its syntactic components and perform fine-grained grounded alignment with the retrieved documents. Our approach introduces a novel criterion for filtering retrieved documents, closely emulating human strategies for acquiring targeted information.

  Long-form text generation requires coherent, comprehensive responses that address complex queries with both breadth and depth. Existing iterative retrieval-augmented generation approaches often struggle to delve deeply into each facet of complex queries. This paper introduces ConTReGen, a novel framework that employs a context-driven, tree-structured retrieval approach.

  We present a novel perspective for solving knowledge-intensive tasks by replacing document retrievers with large language model generators. We call our method generate-then-read (GenRead), which first prompts a large language model to generate contextutal documents based on a given question, and then reads the generated documents to produce the final answer.
