Answer Generation
Answer generation research focuses on creating systems that produce accurate and relevant responses to questions, drawing on diverse knowledge sources. Current efforts concentrate on improving model accuracy by mitigating issues like hallucinations (factual inaccuracies) and enhancing efficiency through techniques like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and context compression. These advancements are driven by the use of large language models (LLMs) and refined architectures such as retriever-reader-generator systems and hybrid approaches combining knowledge graphs and vector databases. The field's impact spans various applications, including e-commerce, healthcare, legal compliance, and education, by enabling more effective information access and decision-making.
