Prior work on hallucination and faithfulness lacked a shared, formally grounded way to measure this. The authors propose Attributable to Identified Sources (AIS), a framework that judges whether generated text about… 2. **[Increasing Faithfulness in Knowledge-Grounded Dialogue with Controllable Features](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/rashkin-2021-increasing-faithfulness-knowledge-grounded-dialogue/)** *(2021 · 140 citations)* Knowledge-grounded dialogue agents are meant to pass on information from a trusted source text. Datasets such as Wizard of Wikipedia, however, mix evidence-based replies with chit-chat, opinions and invented personal details, so models trained on them tend to hallucinate. Rather than collecting cleaner data, the… 3. **[Evaluating Attribution in Dialogue Systems: The BEGIN Benchmark](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/dziri-2022-evaluating-attribution-dialogue-systems-begin/)** *(2022 · 99 citations)* Dialogue systems that draw on external knowledge and are built on large language models often produce fluent replies that the supplied evidence does not support. 4. **[CONQRR: Conversational Query Rewriting for Retrieval with Reinforcement Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wu-2022-conqrr-conversational-query-rewriting-retrieval/)** *(2022 · 95 citations)* Open-domain conversational question answering (CQA) needs passage retrieval for questions that only make sense in light of earlier turns. ## Co-authors here 12 of 15 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Hannah Rashkin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hannah-rashkin/) ×4 - [Gaurav Singh Tomar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/gaurav-singh-tomar/) ×3 - [Dipanjan Das](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dipanjan-das/) ×2 - [Hannaneh Hajishirzi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hannaneh-hajishirzi/) - [Iulia Turc](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/iulia-turc/) - [Lora Aroyo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lora-aroyo/) - [Mari Ostendorf](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mari-ostendorf/) - [Matthew Lamm](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/matthew-lamm/) - [Michael Collins](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/michael-collins/) - [Nouha Dziri](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nouha-dziri/) - [Slav Petrov](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/slav-petrov/) - [Tal Linzen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tal-linzen/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2021](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2021/) - [Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/cl/): [Computational Linguistics 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/cl/2023/) - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2022](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2022/) - [Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/tacl/): [Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL) 2022](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/tacl/2022/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 3,660 times (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read); [262 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/david-reitter/cited-by/).
