LongRAG Fine-Tuning of Llama-3-8B Enhances Cross-Domain Long-Context QA Generalization

Abstract

Abstract: This report synthesises findings from 12 peer-reviewed papers addressing the following research question: Does fine-tuning Llama-3-8B with LongRAG objectives improve generalization scores on cross-domain long-context QA tasks relative to domain-specific fine-tuning alone. Large Language Models (LLMs) have been widely applied in various professional fields. By fine-tuning the models using domain specific question and answer datasets, the professional domain knowledge and Q\&A abilities of these models have significantly improved, for example. 13 claims were extracted from source literature; 0 were independently verified against retrieved documents. An automated multi-reviewer quality assessment produced a score of 4.0/10. This report is a machine-generated literature synthesis and does not constitute original research.
