Attribute First, then Generate: Locally-attributable Grounded Text Generation
Topics: AI (Deep Learning), AIOverviews, LLMO, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), SGE
The paper “Attribute First, then Generate: Locally-attributable Grounded Text Generation” proposes a novel method to address hallucinations in Large Language Models (LLMs) by ensuring concise and precise attributions in text generation. The method, tested on Multi-document Summarization (MDS) and Long-form Question-answering (LFQA), breaks down text generation into three steps: content selection, sentence planning, and sentence-by-sentence generation. This approach enhances both the quality of generated text and the accuracy of attributions while significantly reducing the time needed for human fact verification.
