Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) provide a powerful mechanism for decomposing the dense representations produced by Large Language Models (LLMs) into interpretable latent features. We posit that SAEs constitute a natural foundation for Learned Sparse Retrieval (LSR), whose objective is to encode queries a…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances large language models (LLMs) by integrating external knowledge, leading to improved accuracy and relevance. However, scaling RAG pipelines remains computationally expensive as context length grows. On one hand, hard compression methods have recently prop…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines enhance Large Language Models (LLMs) by retrieving relevant documents, but they face scalability issues due to high inference costs and limited context size. Document compression is a practical solution, but current soft compression methods often suffer…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation improves various aspects of large language models (LLMs) generation, but suffers from computational overhead caused by long contexts, and the propagation of irrelevant retrieved information into generated responses. Context pruning deals with both aspects, by removing…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation allows to enhance Large Language Models with external knowledge. In response to the recent popularity of generative LLMs, many RAG approaches have been proposed, which involve an intricate number of different configurations such as evaluation datasets, collections, met…
