Abstract

Efficient context compression is crucial for improving the accuracy and scalability of question answering. For the efficiency of Retrieval Augmented Generation, context should be delivered fast, compact, and precise to ensure clue sufficiency and budget-friendly LLM reader cost. We propose a margin-based framework for query-driven context pruning, which identifies sentences that are critical for answering a query by measuring changes in clue richness when they are omitted. The model is trained with a composite ranking loss that enforces large margins for critical sentences while keeping non-critical ones near neutral. Built on a lightweight encoder-only Transformer, our approach generally achieves strong exact-match and F1 scores with high-throughput inference and lower memory requirements than those of major baselines. In addition to efficiency, our method yields effective compression ratios without degrading answering performance, demonstrating its potential as a lightweight and practical alternative for retrieval-augmented tasks.

Low-signal caution for protocol decisions

Use this page for context, then validate protocol choices against stronger HFEPX references before implementation decisions.

  • Extraction flags indicate low-signal or possible false-positive protocol mapping.
  • Extraction confidence is 0.35 (below strong-reference threshold).

HFEPX Relevance Assessment

This paper is adjacent to HFEPX scope and is best used for background context, not as a primary protocol reference.

Best use
