百度也来卷RAG了，Self-Reasoning比Self-RAG最高提升11.8%
检索增强型语言模型（Retrieval-Augmented Language Model, RALM）通过在推理过程中整合外部知识，减轻了LLM固有的事实幻觉问题。然而，RALMs仍面临挑战：检索到的不相关文档可能导致无效的回答生成、生成的输出中缺乏适当的引用，使得验证模型的可信度变得复杂。
一个示例，展示了百度自我推理（Self-Reasoning）框架如何通过相关意识过程、证据意识选择过程和轨迹分析过程生成推理轨迹。
为了解决上述问题，百度（Baidu Inc.）提出了一种新颖的自我推理框架（SELF-REASONING framework），旨在通过LLM自身生成的推理轨迹来提高RALMs的可靠性和可追溯性。它的创新之处在于通过端到端的框架直接增强LLMs的性能，而无需依赖外部的推理模型，从而提供了一种更有效和可扩展的解决方案。
对提高RALMs的自我推理框架的说明图。上层是基本的LLMs，它们通过固有知识回答问题。中层是标准的检索增强型语言模型，它们使用检索到的文档帮助回答问题。底层是百度的自我推理框架，它使用自生成的推理轨迹来输出答案。
- 相关性感知过程（Relevance-Aware Process, RAP）
选择默认的检索器（如DPR和Contriever）来检索与问题相关的文档。
指导模型评估检索到的文档与问题的相关性，并生成解释为何这些文档被识别为相关的输出。
如果所有检索到的文档都不相关，模型应依据预训练阶段获得的内部知识提供答案。
- 证据感知选择过程（Evidence-Aware Selective Process, EAP）
要求模型从检索到的文档中明确选择关键句子作为证据，并输出选择这些句子的原因。
模型需要自动选择文档中的关键句子片段，并解释为何这些片段能够回答问题。
- 轨迹分析过程（Trajectory Analysis Process, TAP）
将前两个过程中生成的自我推理轨迹整合，形成推理片段链，以增强检索增强生成的整体性能。
要求模型分析这些推理轨迹，并最终输出简洁的分析和简短的答案。
此外，还包括数据生成和质量控制的过程：
- 训练数据生成：使用GPT-4生成答案作为基准真值，并创建正负样本对。
- 数据质量控制：通过自动验证工具和过滤不正确答案的轨迹，确保数据生成的正确性和完整性。
模型训练：
- 使用标准的语言建模目标进行训练，通过最大化似然函数来训练自我推理生成模型。
- 提出了分阶段掩码策略的逐步训练方法，以逐步学习生成长推理轨迹。
通过在四个公共数据集（两个短形式问答数据集、一个长形式问答数据集和一个事实验证数据集）上的评估，证明了该方法的优越性，能够超越现有的最先进模型，并且在仅使用2,000个训练样本的情况下，就能与GPT-4的性能相媲美。
在两个短形式问答数据集、一个长形式问答数据集和一个事实验证数据集上，与不同基线模型的性能比较。用粗体黑色表示的数字代表除了GPT-4之外的最佳结果。结果是基于五次运行的平均值，并且省略了标准差值（所有值均≤2%）。
SELF-REASONING框架通过利用LLM自身生成的推理轨迹，在不依赖外部模型或工具的情况下，有效提高了RALMs的鲁棒性，并通过要求LLM明确生成文档片段和引用，增强了RALMs的可解释性和可追溯性。
在三个不同的数据集上的噪声鲁棒性实验结果：(a) 左侧是NQ数据集，(b) 中间是PopQA数据集，(c) 右侧是FEVER数据集。Self-RAG和Vicuna是具有13B参数大小的模型。
