EfficientRAG

trains an auto-encoder LM to label and tag chunks; it retrieves relevant chunks, tags them as either <Terminate> or <Continue>, and annotates <Continue> chunks for continuous processing; then a filter model is trained to formulate the next-hop query based on the original question and previous annotations; this is done iteratively until all chunks are tagged as <Terminate> or the maximum # of iterations is reached; after the process above has gathered enough information to answer the initial question, the final generator (an LLM) generates the final answer.
