Vendi-RAG Diversity-Weight Impact on ELI5 Performance with Sparse and Dense Retrievers

Abstract

Abstract: This report synthesises findings from 1 peer-reviewed paper addressing the following research question: How does the diversity-weight parameter in Vendi-RAG affect its performance on the ELI5 dataset when using a sparse retriever versus a dense retriever, measured by ROUGE-L scores. Questa tesi affronta il problema della ridondanza informativa nei sistemi di Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), dove i modelli di linguaggio di grandi dimensioni vengono supportati da documenti recuperati da collezioni esterne. La presenza di passaggi duplicati o parafrasati. 8 claims were extracted from source literature; 1 was independently verified against retrieved documents. An automated multi-reviewer quality assessment produced a score of 5.7/10. This report is a machine-generated literature synthesis and does not constitute original research.
