LAQuer: Localized Attribution Queries in Content-grounded Generation

  • 将生成内容与源文本的局部片段对应,实现细粒度溯源。
  • 相比全句引用,所引内容长度减少超60%。
  • 适合需要快速验证事实的科研、新闻写作场景。

基于内容的文本生成模型常产生偏离源材料的内容,需用户核实准确性。现有溯源方法将整个句子关联到源文档,信息量过大;而子句级方法虽更精确,却难以契合用户关注点。为此,我们提出局部溯源查询(LAQuer)任务,将生成内容中选定片段定位到对应源文本片段,实现细粒度、用户主导的溯源。我们比较了两种方法:提示大语言模型(LLM)和利用LLM内部表征。进一步构建扩展现有带注释生成方法的建模框架,并在多文档摘要(MDS)与长文本问答(LFQA)任务上评估。结果表明,LAQuer方法显著缩短溯源文本长度。贡献包括:(1) 提出提升可读性的新任务;(2) 设计建模框架并基准测试多个基线;(3) 提出新评估设置以推动未来研究。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Grounded text generation models often produce content that deviates from their source material, requiring user verification to ensure accuracy. Existing attribution methods associate entire sentences with source documents, which can be overwhelming for users seeking to fact-check specific claims. In contrast, existing sub-sentence attribution methods may be more precise but fail to align with users' interests. In light of these limitations, we introduce Localized Attribution Queries (LAQuer), a new task that localizes selected spans of generated output to their corresponding source spans, allowing fine-grained and user-directed attribution. We compare two approaches for the LAQuer task, including prompting large language models (LLMs) and leveraging LLM internal representations. We then explore a modeling framework that extends existing attributed text generation methods to LAQuer. We evaluate this framework across two grounded text generation tasks: Multi-document Summarization (MDS) and Long-form Question Answering (LFQA). Our findings show that LAQuer methods significantly reduce the length of the attributed text. Our contributions include: (1) proposing the LAQuer task to enhance attribution usability, (2) suggesting a modeling framework and benchmarking multiple baselines, and (3) proposing a new evaluation setting to promote future research on localized attribution in content-grounded generation.
