arXiv:2603. 29875v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: One of the key problems in Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems is that chunk-based retrieval pipelines represent the source chunks as atomic objects, mixing the information contained within such a chunk into a single vector.

FedV-KGQA addresses multi‑hop question answering over vertically partitioned knowledge graphs where each silo holds disjoint relation types. The system trains local embeddings, concatenates silo‑specific entity views, anchors questions at a topic entity, and ranks candidates without sharing raw triples. Experiments show federated fusion nearly matches centralized accuracy, that anchoring and enrichment are more critical than embedding choice, and that the cheapest encoder depends on target accuracy.

R$^{2}$Adapter is a lightweight plug‑in that dynamically routes user queries between vanilla and graph‑based Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. By sending only those queries that truly benefit from graph reasoning, it cuts graph‑retrieval overhead by up to 59% while keeping answer accuracy comparable. The adapter also rewrites uncertain graph‑routed queries to better expose multi‑hop reasoning needs, improving retrieval quality without extra supervision.

The paper introduces EffiRAG, a graph-based retrieval‑augmented generation system that reduces the cost of building and querying a graph by using it only to locate relevant passages and generating answers from the original text. On the UltraDomain benchmark, EffiRAG outperforms LightRAG‑hybrid in 93 of 120 questions while cutting total system cost by 57 % (from USD 0.952 to USD 0.408). The study shows that graph‑based RAG can be both more accurate and cheaper, especially as the corpus grows, and recommends evaluating such systems on both answer quality and cost.
