Adversarial Robustness of MA-DPR-Based RAG Systems vs. Lexical Retrieval on AdversarialQA

Abstract

Abstract: This report synthesises findings from 3 peer-reviewed papers addressing the following research question: How does the performance of MA-DPR-based RAG systems degrade under adversarial attacks compared to lexical retrieval methods when evaluated on the AdversarialQA benchmark for robustness. Abstract Transformer-based language models (TLMs) have widely been recognized to be a cutting-edge technology for the successful development of deep-learning-based solutions to problems and applications that require natural language processing and understanding. Like for other. 5 claims were extracted from source literature; 5 were independently verified against retrieved documents. An automated multi-reviewer quality assessment produced a score of 8.0/10. This report is a machine-generated literature synthesis and does not constitute original research.

Research Question
