We propose a instruction-following alignement pipline named **VIF-RAG framework** and auto-evaluation Benchmark named **FollowRAG**:
- **IF-RAG:** It is the first automated, scalable, and verifiable data synthesis pipeline for aligning complex instruction-following in RAG scenarios. VIF-RAG integrates a verification process at each step of data augmentation and combination. We begin by manually creating a minimal set of atomic instructions (<100) and then apply steps including instruction composition, quality verification, instruction-query combination, and dual-stage verification to generate a large-scale, high-quality VIF-RAG-QA dataset (>100K).
- **FollowRAG:** To address the gap in instruction-following auto-evaluation for RAG systems, we introduce FollowRAG Benchmark, which includes approximately 3K test samples, covering 22 categories of general instruction constraints and 4 knowledge-intensive QA datasets. Due to its robust pipeline design, FollowRAG can seamlessly integrate with different RAG benchmarks
