S. Singhania, S. Razniewski, and G. Weikum

“Recall Them All: Retrieval-Augmented Language Models for Long Object List Extraction from Long Documents,” 2024. .

Abstract

Methods for relation extraction from text mostly focus on high precision, at
the cost of limited recall. High recall is crucial, though, to populate long
lists of object entities that stand in a specific relation with a given
subject. Cues for relevant objects can be spread across many passages in long
texts. This poses the challenge of extracting long lists from long texts. We
present the L3X method which tackles the problem in two stages: (1)
recall-oriented generation using a large language model (LLM) with judicious
techniques for retrieval augmentation, and (2) precision-oriented
scrutinization to validate or prune candidates. Our L3X method outperforms
LLM-only generations by a substantial margin.
