Improving Attributed Long-form Question Answering with Intent Awareness
Xinran Zhao, Aakanksha Naik, Jay DeYoung +4
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being used to generate comprehensive, knowledge-intensive reports. However, while these models are trained on diverse academic papers…
DR Tulu: Reinforcement Learning with Evolving Rubrics for Deep Research
Rulin Shao, Akari Asai, Shannon Zejiang Shen +18
Deep research agents perform multi-step research to produce long-form, well-attributed answers. However, most open deep research agents are trained on easily verifiable short-form…
The Ramon Llull's Thinking Machine for Automated Ideation
Xinran Zhao, Boyuan Zheng, Chenglei Si +8
This paper revisits Ramon Llull's Ars combinatoria - a medieval framework for generating knowledge through symbolic recombination - as a conceptual foundation for building a modern…
MoR: Better Handling Diverse Queries with a Mixture of Sparse, Dense, and Human Retrievers
Jushaan Singh Kalra, Xinran Zhao, To Eun Kim +3
Retrieval-augmented Generation (RAG) is powerful, but its effectiveness hinges on which retrievers we use and how. Different retrievers offer distinct, often complementary signals:…
cAST: Enhancing Code Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Structural Chunking via Abstract Syntax Tree
Yilin Zhang, Xinran Zhao, Zora Zhiruo Wang +3
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become essential for large-scale code generation, grounding predictions in external code corpora to improve actuality. However, a critical…
RARE: Retrieval-Aware Robustness Evaluation for Retrieval-Augmented Generation Systems
Yixiao Zeng, Tianyu Cao, Danqing Wang +5
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances recency and factuality in answers. However, existing evaluations rarely test how well these systems cope with real-world noise, confli…
HiMemFormer: Hierarchical Memory-Aware Transformer for Multi-Agent Action Anticipation
Zirui Wang, Xinran Zhao, Simon Stepputtis +4
Understanding and predicting human actions has been a long-standing challenge and is a crucial measure of perception in robotics AI. While significant progress has been made in ant…
Beyond Relevance: Evaluate and Improve Retrievers on Perspective Awareness
Xinran Zhao, Tong Chen, Sihao Chen +2
The task of Information Retrieval (IR) requires a system to identify relevant documents based on users' information needs. In real-world scenarios, retrievers are expected to not o…
Fact-and-Reflection (FaR) Improves Confidence Calibration of Large Language Models
Xinran Zhao, Hongming Zhang, Xiaoman Pan +4
For a LLM to be trustworthy, its confidence level should be well-calibrated with its actual performance. While it is now common sense that LLM performances are greatly impacted by…
