The paper introduces TrustPropRAG, a method that builds a document relation graph to propagate reliability signals across documents in retrieval‑augmented generation systems. By anchoring this propagation with a limited set of human feedback on document reliability, the approach estimates trust scores through an optimization problem that incorporates pairwise relations and user input. These trust scores are then used to select more reliable documents and generate answers that are aware of document trustworthiness, leading to improved retrieval quality and exact match performance compared to baselines, even with sparse or noisy feedback.

Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is commonly evaluated by whether the final answer is correct. That test is insufficient: an answer can match its r...

ReliableRAG is a new framework for Retrieval-Augmented Generation that tackles misinformation in multi‑hop question answering. It extracts structured triples from retrieved documents, evaluates each triple’s reliability by combining semantic relevance to the query with credibility, and keeps only the top‑K reliable, non‑redundant triples. Using these refined triples, the system builds robust reasoning chains that filter out deceptive misinformation and produce accurate, trustworthy answers.

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.

W-RAG is a source-aware retrieval framework designed for enterprise document generation from heterogeneous knowledge bases. It uses ontology-guided retrieval, local ranking within each knowledge base, and source-level weighting to balance evidence from diverse sources. A new dataset covering multiple document types and industry domains demonstrates that W-RAG improves document coverage and generation quality compared to standard RAG pipelines.
