Beyond Similarity Search: Knowledge Graph Metadata Enrichment for Enterprise Retrieval-Augmented Generation

The paper investigates whether a knowledge graph can enhance retrieval for enterprise retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) systems compared to traditional similarity search. Using a snapshot of SEC EDGAR filings, the authors built a graph with 430,257 nodes and 561,144 edges, then evaluated three architectures—text‑to‑SQL, dense‑vector RAG, and a two‑stage GraphRAG. GraphRAG outperformed the other methods, correctly answering 16 of 20 questions across all attempts, while the other approaches lagged behind, especially in structured aggregation and single‑document queries.

Hybrid Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Knowledge Graph Expansion, RRF Fusion, and Per-Chunk Grounded Evaluation for Enterprise Document Search

Hybrid Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Knowledge Graph Expansion, RRF Fusion, and Per-Chunk Grounded Evaluation for Enterprise Document Search describes DocuSearch, an offline multi‑agent system designed for telecom network operations. The system combines semantic vector search, BM25 full‑text search, and knowledge‑graph neighbor expansion, merges the results via Reciprocal Rank Fusion, and reranks with a cross‑encoder before pruning with Maximal Marginal Relevance. A per‑chunk evaluation loop ensures only grounded answers are returned, achieving Precision@10 of 0.69, Recall@10 of 0.79, and an 89.6% grounding rate—improvements of 15, 16, and 18.4 percentage points over a dense‑only baseline.

An Ontology-Guided, Deduplication-Aware Extraction Layer for Knowledge Graph Construction from Heterogeneous Documents

arXiv:2607. 28662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models extract entities and relationships from unstructured documents fluently but inconsistently: type vocabularies fracture across documents, the same person surfaces under several name variants, relationships duplicate, and distinct individuals who share a name risk silent conflation.

GraphER: An Efficient Graph-Based Enrichment and Reranking Method for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

arXiv:2603. 24925v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems that rely on semantic search often fail to retrieve the complete set of evidence for complex queries, particularly when information is distributed across multiple sources.

UnWeaving the knots of GraphRAG -- turns out VectorRAG is almost enough

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.

From Document Silos to Process Intelligence: A Multi-Layer Knowledge Graph for CMC Process Development

The paper introduces a modular agentic-AI platform that transforms heterogeneous CMC process-development documents into a dual-layer knowledge graph. The base layer creates a lexical Document‑Section‑Chunk hierarchy, while the intelligence layer extracts ontology‑aligned entities and links cross‑document concepts, all anchored by provenance. LLM agents navigate these layers to answer queries, and a novel three‑tier evaluation protocol demonstrates high retrieval‑augmented generation performance on proprietary data from a Sanofi program.

Adaptive Query Routing: A Tier-Based Framework for Hybrid Retrieval Across Financial, Legal, and Medical Documents

The paper evaluates three retrieval strategies—Vector RAG, Tree Reasoning, and a new Adaptive Hybrid Retrieval (AHR)—on a small corpus of financial, legal, and medical documents, using a four‑tier query complexity benchmark and LLM‑as‑judge evaluation. Tree Reasoning achieves the highest overall score (0.900), but AHR excels on cross‑reference queries (0.850) and all methods tie on multi‑section queries (0.929). Vector RAG shows the lowest latency (1.61 s) and performs best on single multi‑document queries (0.900).

SurveyGraph: Generating Academic Surveys via Methods-Entity Knowledge Graphs

SurveyGraph introduces a framework that uses a Methods‑Entity Knowledge Graph (MEKG) to encode relationships such as follow‑on, competition, and shared‑resource links between research methods. The graph enables core‑paper discovery, hybrid outlining, and evidence‑gated narrative synthesis, outperforming flat lexical baselines in recall and achieving strong citation support and semantic edge validation. The study demonstrates MEKG’s effectiveness through controlled benchmarks, diagnostic tests, and human adjudication, positioning it as an auditable structural layer for survey generation.

Corpus2Skill: Distilling Enterprise Knowledge into Navigable Agent Skills for QA and RAG

Corpus2Skill is a retrieval architecture that transforms an enterprise knowledge base into a hierarchical skill directory, enabling an LLM agent to navigate from high-level summaries to specific documents and backtrack when necessary. On an enterprise customer‑support benchmark, it outperforms single‑shot dense, hybrid, hierarchical‑retrieval, and agentic RAG baselines in answer quality and grounding, with a moderate cost tradeoff. An eleven‑dataset study shows that corpus navigation excels on single‑domain corpora with a recoverable topical taxonomy but is less effective on open‑domain factoid pools or homogeneous‑tabular corpora, providing a design guideline for knowledge‑grounded systems.
