让大模型自己发现并修正引用错误,提升长文本生成的可信度。

FineRef: Fine-Grained Error Reflection and Correction for Long-Form Generation with Citations

  • 逐条识别并纠正引用错配和无关问题,实现细粒度纠错
  • 在ALCE基准上比GPT-4高18%的引用F1和4%的准确率
  • 适合需要高可信引用的学术写作、智能问答等场景

生成带引用的内容对大模型的可信度至关重要,但现有模型常出现引用错配或无关问题。现有方法过度追求引用准确性,忽视与用户查询的相关性,导致真实场景下答案质量下降。此外,单次生成难以应对需多引用的长文本任务。为此,我们提出FineRef框架,基于细粒度错误反思机制,教模型逐条识别并修正引用错配与无关两类错误。该框架采用两阶段训练:第一阶段通过监督微调引入“尝试-反思-修正”行为模式,利用轻量级模型构建可控的反思数据;设计在线自反思自增强策略,通过验证后的自我改进样本持续丰富训练数据。第二阶段采用过程级强化学习,结合多维奖励机制,提升反思精度、答案质量和修正效果。在ALCE基准上的实验表明,FineRef显著提升引用性能与答案准确率。7B模型在引用F1上领先GPT-4达18%,在EM召回上领先4%,且在跨领域迁移与噪声检索场景中表现稳健。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Generating with citations is crucial for trustworthy Large Language Models (LLMs), yet even advanced LLMs often produce mismatched or irrelevant citations. Existing methods over-optimize citation fidelity while overlooking relevance to the user query, which degrades answer quality and robustness in real-world settings with noisy or irrelevant retrieved content. Moreover, the prevailing single-pass paradigm struggles to deliver optimal answers in long-form generation that requiring multiple citations. To address these limitations, we propose FineRef, a framework based on Fine-grained error Reflection, which explicitly teaches the model to self-identify and correct two key citation errors, mismatch and irrelevance, on a per-citation basis. FineRef follows a two-stage training strategy. The first stage instills an "attempt-reflect-correct" behavioral pattern via supervised fine-tuning, using fine-grained and controllable reflection data constructed by specialized lightweight models. An online self-reflective bootstrapping strategy is designed to improve generalization by iteratively enriching training data with verified, self-improving examples. To further enhance the self-reflection and correction capability, the second stage applies process-level reinforcement learning with a multi-dimensional reward scheme that promotes reflection accuracy, answer quality, and correction gain. Experiments on the ALCE benchmark demonstrate that FineRef significantly improves both citation performance and answer accuracy. Our 7B model outperforms GPT-4 by up to 18% in Citation F1 and 4% in EM Recall, while also surpassing the state-of-the-art model across key evaluation metrics. FineRef also exhibits strong generalization and robustness in domain transfer settings and noisy retrieval scenarios.
