+#### 背景
+- **背景** 
+ 文章指出，多跳问答是一个知识密集型复杂问题。大型语言模型（LLMs）通过他们的思路链（CoT）能力逐步推理复杂问题，检索增强可以有效减少因为旧知识和未知知识导致的事实错误。最近的工作将检索增强引入CoT推理来解决多跳问答问题。然而，这些链式方法有如下问题：1）检索到的无关段落可能会误导推理过程；2）链式结构中的错误可能导致错误的连锁反应。
+
+- **已有的工作**
+ 现有工作提供了一次性检索方法，但针对多跳问题，需要更细致的方法来获取全面的知识。迭代检索涉及多轮检索，每轮都由新生成的子问题引导。这些方法虽然比一次性检索表现更好，但链式的过程易于发生错误累积。这突出了迭代检索方法固有的脆弱性，并且是实现可靠知识提取的关键挑战。

+#### 背景
+- **背景** 
+ 文章指出大型语言模型（LLMs）在处理长文本上取得了显著的进步，其中关键值（KV）缓存在提高性能方面起到了重要作用。但是，随着输入文本长度的增加，KV缓存的增长对于内存和时间效率提出了挑战。
+
+- **已有的工作**
+ 尽管有一些工作通过扩展LLMs来处理更长的上下文，解决了上下文维持和注意力机制扩展的难题，但在长文本输入时LLMs仍然面临显著的挑战。具体来说，在推断阶段，随着输入长度的增长，由于必须对过去的KVs计算注意力，每一步的解码速度也会线性增长。此外，当前的KV缓存压缩方法普遍忽略了输入序列KV缓存的压缩，这是内存效率中的主要瓶颈，特别是在有噪声的上下文场景中。
+
+#### 核心贡献
+- **提出了一个名为SnapKV的方法**
+ - **挑战1：有效缩减长文本输入时KV缓存大小**
+ SnapKV是一种创新的、无需微调的方法，能够有效地减小KV缓存的大小，并能在现实世界中的应用程序中提供可与基线模型媲美的性能。SnapKV通过自动压缩KV缓存并选取每个注意力头部的重要KV位置，显著减少了处理长输入序列时不断增长的计算负担和内存占用。
+
+ - **挑战2：在不损失精准生成的情况下压缩输入**
+ 根据作者的观察，模型在生成过程中对特定的提示语（prompt）关注特征显示出一致的模式。文章利用这一洞察，提出了SnapKV算法，有效解决了在不影响模型准确性的前提下，有效压缩长序列输入的KV缓存的挑战。SnapKV展示了在多达380K的上下文令牌处理上，在单个GPU上的应用潜力，几乎不会降低准确度。
+
+#### 实现与部署
+SnapKV明显减少了长文本处理时的内存和计算开销，相比于基线模型可以实现3.6倍的生成速度提升和8.2倍的内存效率增强。SnapKV与HuggingFace实现相结合，能够在一台A100-80GB GPU上处理多达380K的上下文令牌，仅需要做很小的代码调整，并在Needle-in-a-Haystack测试中仅显示出微小的精确度降低，这并没有显著影响模型的性能。此外，SnapKV也可以与其他加速策略（如并行解码）正交组合使用，进一步拓展其性能能力。在处理各个长度、格式和内容各异的输入中，SnapKV对准确性和效率的改进与传统KV缓存相当，并可与之前的工作相比较。
+
+#### 总结
+该文章介绍了SnapKV，一种针对大型语言模型中关键值缓存问题的新方法。SnapKV通过智能压缩和选取重要的KV位置，有效地提升了长文本处理时的解码速度和内存效率，并在保持准确性的同时显著降低了计算成本。

+#### Background
+- **Background**
+The paper discusses multi-hop question answering, a complex problem requiring knowledge-intensive reasoning. Large Language Models (LLMs), with their Chain of Thoughts (CoT) capability, step through complex issues, while retrieval augmentation helps to mitigate factual errors due to outdated or unknown knowledge. However, existing chain methods lead to issues like irrelevant paragraph retrieval and error propagation.
+- **Existing Work**
+Existing work in this domain has focused on one-time retrieval methods that fall short in addressing the nuances of multi-hop questions. Iterative retrieves multi-turn guided by new sub-questions still suffer from the risk of cumulative errors, making them vulnerable in obtaining reliable knowledge.
+
+#### Core Contributions
+ - **Dynamic retrieval framework called TREE OF REVIEWS (TOR)**
+ - **Challenge 1: Mitigating the effect of irrelevant paragraphs on reasoning processes**
+ The paper introduces a tree structure to handle retrieved paragraphs independently, reducing the misleading influence of irrelevant paragraphs on reasoning paths and diminishing the impact of individual reasoning errors on the entire process.
+ - **Challenge 2: Enhancing the efficiency and quality of iterative retrieval**
+ The paper presents two tree-based search optimization strategies: pruning, which minimizes unproductive search initiations, and effective expansion, which refines query generation for better retrieval, providing valuable insights into the optimization of iterative retrieval.
+
+#### Implementation and Deployment
+Experiments conducted on three different multi-hop question answering datasets demonstrated TOR's state-of-the-art performance in both retrieval and response generation, validating its effectiveness. The proposed pruning strategy reduces unnecessary search initiations, while effective expansion optimizes query generation to improve the quality of retrieved paragraphs. These strategies are claimed to significantly enhance retrieval quality and efficiency.
+
+#### Summary
+The paper proposes a novel iterative retrieval framework (TOR) that uses a tree structure to minimize error accumulation and incorporates optimization strategies to improve retrieval efficiency and quality. Experiments show that TOR achieves state-of-the-art performance on several datasets.

+#### Background
+- **Background** 
+LLMs have seen significant advancements in processing long texts, with Key-Value (KV) caches playing a crucial role in enhancing their capabilities. However, the increase in KV cache size poses memory and time efficiency challenges as the input length grows.
+
+- **Existing Work**
+While some work has been successful in extending LLMs to handle longer contexts by addressing context maintenance and attention mechanism scalability, significant challenges remain in efficiently processing long input contexts. The KV caches in attention calculation become a bottleneck during inference, with decoding speeds per step linearly increasing as input length increases. Moreover, current methods primarily opti

+
+#### Core Contributions
+ - **Introduced SnapKV**
+ - **Challenge 1: Effective reduction of KV cache size for long text inputs**
+SnapKV is an innovative and fine-tuning-free approach that efficiently minimizes the KV cache size while maintaining performance comparable to baseline models in real-world applications. By automatically compressing KV caches and selecting important KV positions for each attention head, SnapKV significantly reduces the computational overhead and memory footprint when processing long input sequences.
+
+ - **Challenge 2: Compressing inputs without losing precise generation capabilities**
+Drawing upon their observations, the authors devised the SnapKV algorithm, which effectively challenges the issue of compressing long sequence inputs' KV caches without compromising the model's accuracy. SnapKV demonstrates potential for applications on processing up to 380K context tokens on a single GPU with minimal accuracy loss in the Needle-in-a-Haystack test.
+
+#### Implementation and Deployment
+SnapKV substantially reduces memory and computational overheads for long text processing, achieving a 3.6x increase in generation speed and an 8.2x enhancement in memory efficiency compared to the baseline. When combined with the HuggingFace implementation, SnapKV can handle up to 380K context tokens on a single A100-80GB GPU with minor code changes, exhibiting only negligible accuracy loss in the Needle-in-a-Haystack test. Additionally, SnapKV can be used orthogonally with other acceleration strategies like parallel decoding, extending its performance capabilities further. SnapKV's improvements in accuracy and efficiency across various inputs, formats, and contents are comparable to traditional KV caching and can be benchmarked against previous work.
+
+#### Summary
+This paper introduces SnapKV, a novel approach to tackling the Key-Value cache problem in large language models. SnapKV intelligently compresses and selects important KV positions to significantly improve decoding speed and memory efficiency for long text processing, reducing computational costs while maintaining accuracy.
