Search Engine Retrieval Augmented Large Language Model
Intern working log below
Description-as-Document is a method which deems the description field returned
-
Implemented description-as-document retrieval from google
-
Tested prompts for ChatGPT for prompt deep-processing and prompt-RAG For question processing, a tested system input for ChatGPT is:
"""
你是一个诚实的问答助手，如果你认为你能直接回答以下问题，则按以下格式输出：“答案: 该问题的答案”，否则，请针对以下问题生成{k}个更加深入的问题并直接输出。
注意：
1. 总是生成易于进行搜索引擎检索的问题。例如，不要生成类似“您……”或“你……”的问题，
2. 请必须以JSON列表的形式返回问题
问题：{question}
"""The model is more prone to generate questions than answer it directly although it knows the answer For in-prompt SERAG (Search Engine Retrieval Augmented Generation), a tested prompt for ChatGPT is:
"""
你是一个诚实的问答助手，以下是用户的问题以及可能有用的文档，文档以 “序号：内容” 的格式给出：
问题：{question}
文档：
...
{docs}
...
请逐步深入思考问题与文档的关系，并在思考的过程中注意：
1. 如果你不能直接回答这个问题，则参考文档尝试回答
2. 如果你参考文档回答了这个问题，请把参考文档的序号以Markdown上标的形式标注在相关回答之后
3. 如果你认为参考文档无法帮助你回答这个问题，请回答“我还不了解这个问题的答案”
4. 不要输出与问题不相关的文字
尝试回答这个问题
"""However, this do not always work properly. ChatGPT tend to drop into hallucination than admit that it doesn't know this when the documents is irrelavent. Among these malfunctions there is a surprising one which shows in multi-turn dialogue ChatGPT can admit its incapability in answering the question only after the 1st turn of dialogue

"""The API call is alike with question processing stage. 2. Added fallback in case that the LLM cannot proceed the question correctly
There are cases that ChatGPT cannot process the question in a correct format. To handle this, I added a fallback schema which returns the original prompt once ChatGPT cannot respond in the expected format.
- Implemented in-prompt SERAG with ChatGPT API
Comparison between raw ChatGPT and ChatGPT with SERAG-question is in ./demos/chatgpt/chatgpt-desc-hyqr-*.txt
-
(Update) Implemented the function that process the question by keywords instead of by deeper questions Comparison between raw ChatGPT and ChatGPT with SERAG-keyword is in
./demos/chatgpt/chatgpt-desc-hykr-*.txt -
Evaluated SERAG with ChatGPT on hotpot_qa
F1-score:
- With RAG(documents are from hotpot-qa dataset): 0.519
- With SERAG-keyword: 0.457
- with SERAG-question: 0.454
- with SERAG-R3: 0.435
Done: A naive SERAG system with Google Search and ChatGPT and its preliminary evaluation TODOs in the next period:
- Add DuckDuckGo as a search engine
- Implement Rewrite-Retrieve-Read(R3) query rewrite schema
- Implement Page-as-Ducument with ChatGPT API
- Evaluate with LLM feedback
-
Added DuckDuckGo as a search engine
-
Evaluated SERAG-keyword & SERAG-question with DDG as a backend
- Implement & Evaluated Rewrite-Retrieve-Read(R3) query rewrite schema
Comparison between raw ChatGPT and ChatGPT with SERAG-R3 is in
./demos/chatgpt/chatgpt-desc-r3-*.txt - Reformat the code gracefully
TBD: May implement this after the interview
