RaDIO: Real-Time Hallucination Detection with Contextual Index Optimized Query Formulation for Dynamic Retrieval Augmented Generation

摘要

The Dynamic Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) paradigm actively decides when and what to retrieve during the text generation process of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, current dynamic RAG methods fall short in both aspects: identifying the optimal moment to activate the retrieval module and crafting the appropriate query once retrieval is triggered. To overcome these limitations, we introduce an approach, namely, RaDIO, Real-Time Hallucination Detection with Contextual Index Optimized query formulation for dynamic RAG. The approach is specifically designed to make decisions on when and what to retrieve based on the LLM’s real-time information needs during the text generation process. We evaluate RaDIO along with existing methods comprehensively over several knowledge-intensive generation datasets. Experimental results show that RaDIO achieves superior performance on all tasks, demonstrating the effectiveness of our work.
