Researchers have developed a new method called Context-Driven Decomposition (CDD) to better understand how Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems handle conflicting information. CDD operates during inference to measure how retrieved context influences an answer, even when it contradicts the model's internal knowledge. The study found that context compliance is measurable and can be improved, with accuracy gains transferring across different model families like Gemini and Claude, though the underlying mechanisms for these gains vary.
