DescriptionIntroduces Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), combining parametric memory (language model weights) with non-parametric memory (dense retrieval over Wikipedia) for knowledge-intensive NLP tasks. RAG models achieve state-of-the-art on open-domain QA benchmarks and produce more specific, factual, and diverse responses than pure parametric models.Introduced the Transformer architecture, replacing RNNs with self-attention for sequence-to-sequence tasks. This paper fundamentally changed the field of NLP and became the foundation for all modern large language models.
