A new research paper from arXiv, titled "Verification Without Sufficiency: Per-Chunk Filtering Fails on Multi-Hop RAG, and Decomposition Repairs It," demonstrates that traditional per-chunk filtering methods are ineffective for multi-hop retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. The study shows that these methods perform poorly on complex questions, even worse than no filtering at all, especially with more capable models. The proposed solution involves decomposing multi-hop questions into sub-questions and conditioning verification on these decomposed parts, significantly improving performance. AI
