arXiv:2607. 22597v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-hop question answering requires systems to retrieve evidence from multiple documents and connect scattered facts into a coherent reasoning process.
arXiv:2609.07050v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) critically depends on retrieving the evidence necessary for effective reasoning. However, this remains particularl...
arXiv:2609.13768v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-hop question answering often fails when retrieval treats evidence as isolated matches to the original question, since the facts needed to answer...

arXiv:2606. 17856v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph-based retrieval-augmented generation (GraphRAG) is effective for knowledge-intensive and multi-hop query tasks; however, many existing methods primarily seed entity-based graphs and rely on implicit semantic relevance propagation.
Hi-Q is a new framework for multi‑hop question answering that refines queries hierarchically based on evidence retrieved from a corpus. At each node it tests whether the current query unit is supported by evidence; if not, the node is expanded using a dependency‑preserving binary operator and verified for semantic coverage. The resulting query tree grows according to corpus support signals, and Hi‑Q achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on three multi‑hop QA benchmarks, outperforming both iterative retrieval and graph‑based baselines without constructing a corpus‑wide graph.
arXiv:2606. 18075v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a paradigm for enhancing large language models (LLMs) with external knowledge, yet existing graph-based methods face a fundamental limitation: entity-centric and chunk-centric approaches operate on representations anchored to original text without true knowledge fusion.
arXiv:2608. 09779v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Answering complex conditional questions using Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) remains a challenge, particularly in domain-specific contexts where general-purpose LLMs and RAG tend to underperform.
arXiv:2608. 15056v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems often rely on long unstructured contexts or aggressively expanded evidence graphs, which can introduce noisy evidence, weaken multi-hop reasoning, and increase unsupported generation.
arXiv:2609.37661v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph-based retrieval-augmented generation supports multi-hop retrieval by organizing corpus information into graphs. However, existing relation-free g...
