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.

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.

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.

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.

A Unified Framework for Context-Aware and Relation-Aware Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation

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.

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.
