Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a task that combines the strengths of both retrieval-based models and generation-based models. In this approach, a retrieval system selects relevant documents or passages from a large corpus, and a generation model, typically a neural language model, uses the retrieved information to generate a response. This method enhances the accuracy and coherence of generated text, especially in tasks requiring detailed knowledge or long context handling.
RAG is particularly useful in open-domain question answering, knowledge-grounded dialogue, and summarization tasks. The retrieval step helps the model to access and incorporate external information, making it less reliant on memorized knowledge and better suited for generating responses based on the latest or domain-specific information.
The performance of RAG systems is usually measured using metrics such as precision, recall, F1 score, BLEU score, and exact match. Some popular datasets for evaluating RAG models include Natural Questions, MS MARCO, TriviaQA, and SQuAD.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28
1 leaderboard table shown for this task, 1 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted.

Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.
