Overview

Self-Knowledge Guided Retrieval Augmentation for Large Language Models (EMNLP Findings 2023)

Data

The Temporal dataset we use is in the fold data/.

• Question: The question.
• Gold answer: The answer.
• passages: The retrieved passages from wikipedia.

Chain-of-Thought Results

• The CoT and retrieval-augmented CoT results are given in the fold results/, where the chain_of_thought_gpt3 indicates the responses.

Steps

• For SKR_prompt and SKR_icl, we use the prompts shown in the paper to elicit the self-knowledge of the dev data directly.

• For SKR_cls, we use the training data and train a BERT classifier to elicit the self-knowledge of the dev data. We use the settings with lr=2e-5 and epochs=10.

• For SKR_knn, the steps are as follows:

  • cd source/ , collect the self-knowledge of the training data, run skr.py and get the train_skr.json file.
  • run knn.py to use the self-knowledge to the dev data and get the dev_skr_knn.json file.
  • run eval_skr.py to evaluate the results.
