Earlier Arabic systems mostly used classical retrieval and were tested on very small question sets. The authors target open-domain factual QA, where every answer must be a text span from Arabic Wikipedia. 2. **[Navigating Rifts in Human-LLM Grounding: Study and Benchmark](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shaikh-2025-navigating-rifts-human-llm-grounding/)** *(2025 · 19 citations)* Conversational LLMs are tuned mainly to execute instructions. They rarely do the joint work people use to build shared understanding, such as checking assumptions, asking what was meant, or proposing next steps.
