Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Knowledge-Intensive NLP Tasks

A dense retriever selects passages from Wikipedia and a sequence-to-sequence model generates responses conditioned on those passages.

Retrieval and generation can be combined in a trainable system.
An external document index complements knowledge stored in model parameters.
The approach is evaluated on knowledge-intensive language tasks.

Reading context: The quality of an answer depends on both retrieval and generation. Access to relevant passages does not guarantee a correct or fully supported response.
