One reason is causal attention, which lets each token see only its left context. The authors propose LLM2Vec, an unsupervised, label-free recipe that turns any decoder-only model into a general-purpose encoder in three stages.… 2. **[Evaluating Correctness and Faithfulness of Instruction-Following Models for Question Answering](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/adlakha-2024-evaluating-correctness-faithfulness-instruction-following/)** *(2024 · 145 citations)* Instruction-following LLMs can answer questions when given retrieved passages and a task instruction, with no extra training. 3. **[TopiOCQA: Open-domain Conversational Question Answering with Topic Switching](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/adlakha-2022-topiocqa-open-domain-conversational-question/)** *(2022 · 143 citations)* Benchmarks for conversational question answering (CQA), such as CoQA and QuAC, give the system a fixed reference passage and keep each dialogue on a single subject. ## All works 4 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.
