"Paraphrasing The Original Text" Makes High Accuracy Long-Context QA

Most open-source LLMs still have a context window of no more than 4k, limiting their ability to handle long-context problems. Meanwhile, even those with a long context window still lack satisfactory accuracy. To address this issue, we explore from the perspective of training data and theoretically prove training the capability to handle long contexts requires "effective" rather than "long" data. Based on this, we propose using the "original text paraphrase" task, and successfully extend the context window of the existing model to 32k by a low-cost and effective method, achieving the SOTA accuracy in multi-document-QA among models of the same scale. The model and training data have been open-sourced on HuggingFace(https://huggingface.co/yuyijiong/Qwen-14b-chat-yarn-32k) and WiseModel(https://wisemodel.cn/models/yuyijiong/Qwen-14b-chat-yarn-32k).
