Inject, Align, Recover: Staged Post-Training for Retrieval-Free Document Knowledge Internalization
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read

- What happened
- Researchers propose IAR, a three-stage post-training method to embed document knowledge directly into language models for retrieval-free question answering.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building systems that must answer questions about fixed document collections without access to retrieval at inference time.
- Watch out
- Method tested on specific datasets and model families; unclear how well it generalizes to very large or diverse document collections in production.
