通过信息瓶颈强制证据聚焦残差,解决检索生成中查询主导问题。
GRIP: Grounded Reasoning via Information-Restricted Premises

- 用随机瓶颈限制检索证据的表达能力,使其只保留查询外的信息。
- 在5个推理基准上显著优于迭代基线,幻觉减少73%。
- 适合需要可靠推理与低幻觉的应用场景,如医疗问答。
检索增强生成(RAG)中高容量编码器可能导致查询主导潜在状态,使检索证据功能失效,我们称此为查询主导。为解决该问题,提出GRIP(基于信息受限前提的接地推理),引入容量不对称:解码器保持对查询的全维访问,而检索证据需经过严重随机瓶颈。这迫使证据通道仅编码查询中未包含的残差信息。在五个推理基准上,GRIP优于强迭代基线,将查询-潜变量互信息降低约30倍(14.8 → 0.47比特),幻觉减少73%。残差对齐分析显示,瓶颈输出与查询的子空间对齐度低于基线表示。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
High-capacity encoders in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) can let the query dominate the latent state, leaving retrieved evidence functionally irrelevant. We call this failure mode query dominance. To address it, we introduce \textbf{GRIP} (Grounded Reasoning via Information-Restricted Premises), which imposes capacity asymmetry: the decoder keeps full-dimensional access to the query, while retrieved evidence passes through a severe stochastic bottleneck. This forces the evidence channel to encode only the residual information unavailable from the query. Across five reasoning benchmarks, GRIP outperforms strong iterative baselines, cuts a query--latent mutual-information diagnostic by roughly 30$\times$ (14.8 $\to$ 0.47 bits), and reduces hallucination by 73\%. Residual-alignment analysis further shows that the bottleneck output occupies subspaces less aligned with the query than baseline representations.
