R$^{2}$Adapter is a lightweight plug‑in that dynamically routes user queries between vanilla and graph‑based Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. By sending only those queries that truly benefit from graph reasoning, it cuts graph‑retrieval overhead by up to 59% while keeping answer accuracy comparable. The adapter also rewrites uncertain graph‑routed queries to better expose multi‑hop reasoning needs, improving retrieval quality without extra supervision.

The paper introduces EffiRAG, a graph-based retrieval‑augmented generation system that reduces the cost of building and querying a graph by using it only to locate relevant passages and generating answers from the original text. On the UltraDomain benchmark, EffiRAG outperforms LightRAG‑hybrid in 93 of 120 questions while cutting total system cost by 57 % (from USD 0.952 to USD 0.408). The study shows that graph‑based RAG can be both more accurate and cheaper, especially as the corpus grows, and recommends evaluating such systems on both answer quality and cost.

arXiv:2608. 07954v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can answer knowledge-intensive questions more reliably when they are grounded with knowledge graphs, but systems such as Think-on-Graph and Reasoning-on-Graph repeatedly query the same graph neighborhoods across different questions.

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.
