Web Research (STORM)¶

STORM is a research assistant designed by Shao, et. al that extends the idea of "outline-driven RAG" for richer article generation.

STORM is designed to generate Wikipedia-style ariticles on a user-provided topic. It applies two main insights to produce more organized and comprehensive articles:

1. Creating an outline (planning) by querying similar topics helps improve coverage.
2. Multi-perspective, grounded (in search) conversation simulation helps increase the reference count and information density.

The control flow looks like the diagram below.
