用遗传算法优化生成答案,让大模型少说假话。

Genetic Approach to Mitigate Hallucination in Generative IR

  • 引入平衡适应度函数,结合相关性与词元重叠度
  • 答案准确率提升至四倍,同时保持高相关性
  • 适合需要可靠回答的问答系统开发者

生成式语言模型会产生幻觉,即生成看似合理但事实错误的回答。本文聚焦于基于检索结果的有根据答案生成任务(生成式信息检索的一部分),通过改进现有遗传生成方法,提出一种新的‘平衡适应度函数’,包含交叉编码器用于判断相关性,以及n-gram重叠度指标以增强答案的可依据性。该方法使有根据的答案生成准确率提升四倍,同时维持高相关性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Generative language models hallucinate. That is, at times, they generate factually flawed responses. These inaccuracies are particularly insidious because the responses are fluent and well-articulated. We focus on the task of Grounded Answer Generation (part of Generative IR), which aims to produce direct answers to a user's question based on results retrieved from a search engine. We address hallucination by adapting an existing genetic generation approach with a new 'balanced fitness function' consisting of a cross-encoder model for relevance and an n-gram overlap metric to promote grounding. Our balanced fitness function approach quadruples the grounded answer generation accuracy while maintaining high relevance.
