This sounds obvious, but it was repeatedly raised as a concern in the replication shared task at the COLING human evaluation workshop.

Amazing follow-up of Self-RAG by @ocolegro, which fine-tunes Self-RAG on top of Mistral-7b. Even stronger performance from the original LLama2-7b-based Self-RAG!
Also, a nice API to retrieve documents and generate using the Self-RAG model is provided!
