CHARPEVAL: Benchmarking Large Language Models’ Contextual Reasoning in Knowledge-Grounded Dialogue

ACL 2025finding

This paper presents CHARPEVAL, a challenging benchmark specifically designed to evaluate the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform contextualized reasoning in knowledge-grounded dialogue scenarios. The task involves selecting the correct response from 6 options, including 5 manually cra…

CHARP: Conversation History AwaReness Probing for Knowledge-grounded Dialogue Systems

ACL 2024findings

In this work, we dive deep into one of the popular knowledge-grounded dialogue benchmarks that focus on faithfulness, FaithDial. We show that a significant portion of the FaithDial data contains annotation artifacts, which may bias models towards completely ignoring the conversation history. We ther…

Efficient Citer: Tuning Large Language Models for Enhanced Answer Quality and Verification

NAACL 2024findings

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in utilizing external knowledge to reduce hallucinations in large language models (LLMs) and provide them with updated information. Despite this improvement, a major challenge lies in the lack of explicit citations, which hampers the ability to veri…

“Knowing When You Don’t Know”: A Multilingual Relevance Assessment Dataset for Robust Retrieval-Augmented Generation

EMNLP 2024finding

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) grounds Large Language Model (LLM) output by leveraging external knowledge sources to reduce factual hallucinations. However, prior work lacks a comprehensive evaluation of different language families, making it challenging to evaluate LLM robustness against erro…

Evaluating Embedding APIs for Information Retrieval

ACL 2023industry

The ever-increasing size of language models curtails their widespread access to the community, thereby galvanizing many companies and startups into offering access to large language models through APIs. One particular API, suitable for dense retrieval, is the semantic embedding API that builds vecto…

NATURE: Natural Auxiliary Text Utterances for Realistic Spoken Language Evaluation

NeurIPS 2021poster

Slot-filling and intent detection are the backbone of conversational agents such as voice assistants, and are active areas of research. Even though state-of-the-art techniques on publicly available benchmarks show impressive performance, their ability to generalize to realistic scenarios is yet to b…
