Abstract

Abstract: The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) has revolutionized Natural Language Processing, yet their application in high-stakes, specialized domains like religious question answering is hindered by challenges like hallucination and unfaithfulness to authoritative sources. This issue is particularly critical for the Persian-speaking Muslim community, where accuracy and trustworthiness are paramount. Existing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, relying on simplistic single-pass pipelines, fall short on complex, multi-hop queries requiring multi-step reasoning and evidence aggregation.

Research Question

What is the impact of evidence gap identification mechanisms in FAIR-RAG on downstream task performance measured through F1 scores and exact match accuracy on complex multi-hop QA benchmarks like HotpotQA and 2WikiMultihopQA?
