RAG models leverage a retriever to retrieve text documents based on an input query and use them as additional context when generating a target sequence. These models have been shown to achieve state-of-the-art results on various tasks such as open Natural Questions, WebQuestions, CuratedTrec, MS-MARCO, Jeopardy question generation, and FEVER fact verification. RAG models generate responses that are more factual, specific, and diverse compared to baseline models like BART. The retrieval mechanism in RAG plays a key role in improving results across different tasks.
