PRA-RAG: Provably Robust Aggregation in Retrieval-Augmented Generation against Retrieval Corruption
arXiv:2607.00012v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances Large Language Models (LLMs) by incorporating external knowledge, effectively mitigating their inherent knowledge limitations. However, RAG remains vulnerable to poisoning attacks that manipulate retrieved texts to mislead model outputs. Existing defense mechanisms often lack theoretical robustness guarantees and perform unreliably when the LLM has limited knowledge of the retrieved content. In this work, we propose PRA-RAG, a provably robust retrieval aggregation algorithm designed to defend agains
The rapid deployment of RAG models in production environments necessitates robust defenses against adversarial attacks and data poisoning, particularly as their criticality increases.
This development addresses a critical vulnerability in RAG systems, enhancing their reliability and trustworthiness for sensitive applications across various sectors.
RAG models can now be deployed with theoretically guaranteed robustness against specific forms of retrieval corruption, reducing the risk of manipulated outputs.
