Outline

This paper proposes Long Question Coreference Adaptation (LQCA), a method that focuses on co-reference resolution tailored to long contexts, to address the challenges faced by large-scale language models (LLMs) in understanding long contexts and performing effective question answering. LQCA comprises four main steps: resolving co-references within subdocuments, calculating distances between mentions, defining representative mentions for co-references, and answering questions using mention replacement. LQCA improves comprehension by systematically processing information into manageable chunks. Experimental results on various LLMs and datasets demonstrate significant performance improvements on the OpenAI-o1-mini and GPT-4o models, highlighting the effectiveness of co-reference resolution in bridging context gaps in question answering. The code is available at https://github.com/OceannTwT/LQCA .

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
A novel methodology is presented to improve the performance of LLM in understanding long-term contexts and answering questions.
Experimentally proven to work effectively, especially on the OpenAI-o1-mini and GPT-4o models.
Ensure reproducibility and extensibility through open code.
Limitations:
Only experimental results for specific LLMs and datasets are presented, requiring further research on generalizability.
Lack of analysis on the computational cost and efficiency of the LQCA method.
Lack of robustness assessment across different types of questions and contexts.
