Retrieval-augmented Decoding for Improving Truthfulness in Open-ended Generation

The paper introduces Retrieval-Augmented Decoding (RAD), a decoding-time method that improves the truthfulness of large language models without retraining. RAD uses a small reference set of up to ten annotated examples to build a grounding space of context embeddings and next-token logits, which it retrieves and aggregates during inference to shape the model’s output. Experiments on four open-ended generation benchmarks and four different LLMs show that RAD consistently outperforms strong baselines and generalizes well across tasks.

TopiCLEAR: Adaptive embedding clustering for interpretable topic discovery from short texts

TopiCLEAR is a framework that clusters document or sentence embeddings using adaptive dimensionality reduction to uncover low‑dimensional geometric structures that correspond to human‑interpretable topics. The method is evaluated on four benchmark datasets, showing strong agreement with human annotations, especially for short and informal texts. A Twitter case study demonstrates that TopiCLEAR yields more interpretable topics than LDA, recovering both annotated topic structure and coherent sub‑topics.
