Standard retrieval-augmented generation helps, but it fetches a fixed number of passages for every query, even when no lookup is needed or the passages are off-topic. It also never checks whether the answer agrees… 2. **[CLAPnq: Cohesive Long-form Answers from Passages in Natural Questions for RAG systems](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/rosenthal-2025-clapnq-cohesive-long-form-answers/)** *(2025 · 29 citations)* Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems are expected to give long answers that stay grounded in source text, but existing benchmarks rarely support this. 3. **[CLARITY: A Framework and Benchmark for Conversational Language Ambiguity and Unanswerability in Interactive NL2SQL Systems](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sarwar-2026-clarity-framework-benchmark-conversational-language/)** *(2026)* Benchmarks for NL2SQL usually assume that each question contains one source of ambiguity and that users answer clarification requests cooperatively. ## All works 10 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
