Conversational Search Benchmark

Conversational search benchmarks aim to objectively evaluate the performance of large language models (LLMs) in handling multi-turn dialogues and complex information retrieval tasks. Current research focuses on developing more robust benchmarks that better reflect real-world conversational interactions, including methods to improve the consistency and reliability of human and AI-based evaluations, and exploring novel model architectures like hybrid Transformer-Mamba models for efficient and high-quality responses. These advancements are crucial for improving the accuracy and usefulness of LLMs in practical applications, such as customer service chatbots and conversational search engines, and for guiding the development of more effective and human-aligned AI systems.
