Decision brief

Filco enhances context filtering for retrieval-augmented generation tasks like dialog-generation and question-answering by integrating with Dense Passage Retriever for precise passage retrieval.

Good fit when

  • When developing applications requiring accurate and relevant context extraction, such as refined conversational agents
  • For projects that benefit from preprocessed datasets with top-relevant passages for training

Avoid when

  • If you need a general-purpose context generation tool without advanced passage retrieval capabilities
  • For tasks that do not depend on preexisting Wikipedia-based or similar text corpus retrieval mechanisms

Retrieve top relevant Wikipedia passages using Dense Passage Retriever (DPR) and store into the ./datasets/${name} directory. We also provide preprocessed datasets with top-5 retrieved passages (here). We specify ${name} for six datasets with ['nq', 'tqa', 'hotpotqa', 'fever', 'wow'] in following example commands.
