These texts carry much irrelevant material, which raises inference cost and lowers answer quality. Existing compressors either target short chunks or rank tokens with crude signals such as perplexity, so they ignore how a document… 2. **[RetroLLM: Empowering Large Language Models to Retrieve Fine-grained Evidence within Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/li-2025-retrollm-empowering-large-language-models/)** *(2025 · 19 citations)* RetroLLM targets three weaknesses of standard retrieval-augmented generation (RAG): the cost of running a separate retriever, long inputs padded with redundant retrieved chunks, and the fact that retrieval and generation cannot be optimized together. ## Co-authors here 9 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Jiajie Jin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiajie-jin/) ×2 - [Xiaoxi Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaoxi-li/) ×2 - [Ye Qi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ye-qi/) ×2 - [Yongkang Wu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yongkang-wu/) ×2 - [Zhicheng Dou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhicheng-dou/) ×2 - [Guanting Dong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/guanting-dong/) - [Yujia Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yujia-zhou/) - [Yutao Zhu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yutao-zhu/) - [Yuyao Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yuyao-zhang/) ## 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/) ×2: [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) ×2 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 27 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [14 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhonghua-li/cited-by/).
