Meta-prompting Optimized Retrieval-augmented Generation (2407.03955v1)

Published 4 Jul 2024 in cs.CL

Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation resorts to content retrieved from external sources in order to leverage the performance of LLMs in downstream tasks. The excessive volume of retrieved content, the possible dispersion of its parts, or their out of focus range may happen nevertheless to eventually have a detrimental rather than an incremental effect. To mitigate this issue and improve retrieval-augmented generation, we propose a method to refine the retrieved content before it is included in the prompt by resorting to meta-prompting optimization. Put to empirical test with the demanding multi-hop question answering task from the StrategyQA dataset, the evaluation results indicate that this method outperforms a similar retrieval-augmented system but without this method by over 30%.
