Do RAG Systems Cover What Matters? Evaluating and Optimizing Responses with Sub-Question Coverage

NAACL 2025long

Evaluating retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems remains challenging, particularly for open-ended questions that lack definitive answers and require coverage of multiple sub-topics. In this paper, we introduce a novel evaluation framework based on sub-question coverage, which measures how wel…

Embedding-Informed Adaptive Retrieval-Augmented Generation of Large Language Models

COLING 2025main

Retrieval-augmented large language models (LLMs) have been remarkably competent in various NLP tasks. However, it was observed by previous works that retrieval is not always helpful, especially when the LLM is already knowledgable on the query to answer. Motivated by this, Adaptive Retrieval-Augment…

Making Large Language Models into World Models with Precondition and Effect Knowledge

COLING 2025main

World models, which encapsulate the dynamics of how actions affect environments, are foundational to the functioning of intelligent agents. In this work, we explore the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) to operate as world models. Although LLMs are not inherently designed to model real-world…

Exploring Soft Prompt Initialization Strategy for Few-Shot Continual Text Classification

ICASSP 2024accepted

Few-shot continual learning (FSCL) is a challenging setting as it requires models to learn new knowledge with a few examples over time, and fast adapt to new tasks without forgetting previous knowledge. Prompt-tuning, as an efficient learning approach for language models, has shown competitive perfo…

Calibrating Trust of Multi-Hop Question Answering Systems with Decompositional Probes

EMNLP 2022finding

Multi-hop Question Answering (QA) is a challenging task since it requires an accurate aggregation of information from multiple context paragraphs and a thorough understanding of the underlying reasoning chains. Recent work in multi-hop QA has shown that performance can be boosted by first decomposin…

Guiding Neural Story Generation with Reader Models

EMNLP 2022finding

Automated storytelling has long captured the attention of researchers for the ubiquity of narratives in everyday life. However, it is challenging to maintain coherence and stay on-topictoward a specific ending when generating narratives with neural language models. In this paper, we introduce Story…
