Mitigating Lost-in-Retrieval Problems in Retrieval Augmented Multi-Hop Question Answering

Rongzhi Zhu, Xiangyu Liu, Zequn Sun +2

In this paper, we identify a critical problem, "lost-in-retrieval", in retrieval-augmented multi-hop question answering (QA): the key entities are missed in LLMs' sub-question deco…
