Self-Questioning Retrieval Boosts Tech Judgement

This paper discusses how LLMs struggle to distinguish subtle technical differences, limiting their capability in precise technical judgments.
Method
- Proposes a self-questioning / self-talk strategy: the model first generates its own background questions necessary to complete the task.
- The model initially answers these using internal knowledge, then supplements this with scientific literature via external retrieval.
- Finally, it combines the "self-generated questions + internal answers + retrieved external knowledge" to make the ultimate judgment.
