What papers say

Verbatim critique sentences, each from a paper that cites Ret-Robust as a baseline.

Ret-Robust~yoran2023making trains a model to be robust to irrelevant context, with an NLI-based entailment to determine relevance, and only uses the relevance scores to influence the training mixture of relevant vs. irrelevant documents.
