Google AI Introduces a New System for Open-Domain Long-Form Question Answering (LFQA) - TechStory

In recent times, factoid open-domain question answering has witnessed significant progress, with the only requirement for answering a question being a short phrase. However, in the domain of long-form question answering, the level of efforts is comparatively less. LFQA holds significance primarily because it provides a testing ground for the measurement of the factuality of the text model. But the current metrics for evaluation are in need of more improvement in order to ensure LFQA progress.
