Statement

A retrieve→revise→verify loop (RARR/CoVe-style) reduces factual errors in published summaries compared to single-pass summarization.

    Chain-of-Verification (arXiv:2309.11495)
    Chain-of-Verification formalizes multi-step verification to detect and correct hallucinations/factual errors.
    • Evidence for verifying claims before publishing.
    • Relevance: 'Verified Attribution' should reward verified evidence, not raw text volume.

    RARR: Retrieve-and-Revise (arXiv:2210.08726)
    Retrieve→revise style pipelines reduce factual errors by grounding edits in retrieved evidence and iterative refinement.
    • Evidence for the ASAR treatment: retrieval + revision + verification loops.
    • Caveat: retrieval quality and evidence selection remain failure modes.
