Retrieval Augmented in Context Learning

Retrieval Augmented In-Context Learning (RA-ICL) enhances large language models (LLMs) by supplementing their context with relevant information retrieved from external knowledge bases. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy and reliability of LLMs, particularly addressing issues like hallucinations and improving performance on knowledge-intensive tasks, often employing techniques like maximum marginal relevance scoring and hierarchical graph structures to manage retrieved information. This approach shows promise in various applications, including clinical decision-making, hierarchical text classification, and autonomous driving, by improving the factual accuracy and generalizability of LLMs while reducing reliance on extensive fine-tuning.
