提升检索增强模型的摘要压缩鲁棒性,减少噪声信息干扰

Noise-Robust Abstractive Compression in Retrieval-Augmented Language Models

  • 细粒度分类检索文档,设计抗噪训练流程
  • 在多个数据集上提升精确匹配与F1分数
  • 特别适合存在大量错误信息的真实场景

摘要压缩利用小型语言模型对查询相关上下文进行压缩,降低检索增强生成(RAG)的计算成本。然而,检索到的文档常包含与回答无关或因事实错误而误导的信息,尽管相关性评分很高。这表明摘要压缩器更可能遗漏正确答案所必需的重要信息,尤其在长上下文中注意力分散时更为明显。为此,我们对检索文档进行更细粒度分类,并提出针对噪声的抽象压缩方法(ACoRN),引入两个新训练步骤:首先,在训练数据上进行离线数据增强,提升压缩器对两类检索噪声的鲁棒性;其次,由于基于语言模型的压缩器无法充分利用多篇文档信息且存在位置偏倚,我们通过微调生成以直接支持正确答案的关键信息为中心的摘要。实验表明,使用ACoRN训练的T5-large作为压缩器,在保持答案字符串不变的前提下,提升了EM和F1得分,可作为直接证据。ACoRN在存在大量降低准确率文档的数据集上表现优异,适用于真实世界场景。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Abstractive compression utilizes smaller langauge models to condense query-relevant context, reducing computational costs in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). However, retrieved documents often include information that is either irrelevant to answering the query or misleading due to factual incorrect content, despite having high relevance scores. This behavior indicates that abstractive compressors are more likely to omit important information essential for the correct answer, especially in long contexts where attention dispersion occurs. To address this issue, we categorize retrieved documents in a more fine-grained manner and propose Abstractive Compression Robust against Noise (ACoRN), which introduces two novel training steps. First, we use offline data augmentation on the training dataset to enhance compressor robustness against two distinct types of retrieval noise. Second, since the language model based compressor cannot fully utilize information from multiple retrieved documents and exhibits positional bias, we perform finetuning to generate summaries centered around key information that directly supports the correct answer. Our experiments demonstrate that T5-large, trained with ACoRN as a compressor, improves EM and F1 scores while preserving the answer string, which could serve as direct evidence. ACoRN excels on datasets with many accuracy reducing documents, making it highly useful in real-world scenarios.
