Question Answering
Question answering (QA) research aims to develop systems that accurately and efficiently respond to diverse questions posed in natural language. Current efforts focus on improving the robustness and efficiency of QA models, particularly in handling long contexts, ambiguous queries, and knowledge conflicts, often leveraging large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures. These advancements are significant for various applications, including information retrieval, conversational AI, and educational tools, driving improvements in both the accuracy and accessibility of information.
