Ensuring contextual faithfulness in retrieval-augmented large language models (LLMs) is crucial for building trustworthy information-seeking systems, particularly long-form question-answering (LFQA) scenarios. In this work, we identify a salient correlation between LFQA and retrieval heads, set of attention heads responsible retrieving information. Leveraging insight, propose RHIO, framework designed to teach LLMs explicitly discriminate faithful unfaithful generations. RHIO first augments...
Dietary factors play a major role in cognitive aging, but few studies have assessed and compared the associations between specific dietary patterns Alzheimer's disease (AD) mortality.
