Retriever Reader

Retriever-reader models are a powerful approach in natural language processing that combines information retrieval with language model comprehension to answer complex questions or perform knowledge-intensive tasks. Current research focuses on improving retrieval efficiency and accuracy, often employing architectures like bi-encoders and transformer-based models, and exploring techniques such as dynamic knowledge reading and passage masking to optimize performance. This approach has significant implications for various applications, including question answering, information extraction, and medical diagnosis, by enabling more efficient and accurate processing of large knowledge bases. The ongoing development of more efficient and effective retriever-reader models is driving advancements across numerous NLP domains.
