Evaluating Long-Context Question and Answer Systems

For example, technical documentation, novels and movies, as well as multi-document scenarios. Although some of these evaluation challenges also appear in shorter contexts, long-context evaluation amplifies issues such as: Information overload: Irrelevant details in large documents obscure relevant facts, making it harder for retrievers and models to locate the right evidence for
