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.

arXiv:2606. 28367v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is routinely extended with methods meant to improve retrieval: query expansion, hierarchical and cross-document summarization, graph-based expansion, per-query routing, rank fusion, and corrective re-retrieval.

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.

Quanta is an open‑source Python library that unifies dense vector search over 4‑bit quantised embeddings, BM25 full‑text retrieval, and knowledge‑graph traversal behind a single retrieval API. It combines signals using weighted reciprocal rank fusion instead of normalising heterogeneous scores, arguing that such normalisations are query‑dependent. The library treats the graph as a candidate expander rather than a relevance scorer, widening the candidate pool and then re‑scoring documents with dense indexes under an identifier allowlist.

The paper presents an end‑to‑end pipeline for automatically constructing a tree‑structured knowledge graph (KG) from Vietnamese high school history textbooks and evaluating retrieval strategies that exploit the KG’s hierarchical structure. The KG construction uses a three‑phase hybrid relation extraction process, including intra‑batch deduplication, approximate cross‑batch search, and LLM extraction with a centroid filter and dual‑LLM validator, resulting in 750 nodes and 4,341 semantic edges across 41 ontology types. Retrieval evaluation compares three graph traversal strategies—Top‑Down, Horizontal, and Bottom‑Up—on a benchmark of 1,210 Vietnamese queries, finding that the Top‑Down strategy with structural information outperforms a vector baseline by 4.7 percentage points in NDCG@10.
