Bridging Semantic Gaps in RAG through Generated Context Knowledge Fusion

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

The paper introduces Knowledge-Aware Semantic Bridging (KASB), a framework designed to improve Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) by aligning the semantic spaces of queries and retrieved contexts. KASB achieves this through intelligent fusion of generative and retrieval-based knowledge in a multistage process, aiming to enhance passage selection quality, relevance, and accuracy. The authors evaluate the method on three popular open-domain Question Answering datasets, demonstrating its effectiveness.

EAR: Entity-Aware Partitioning Approach for Retrieval-Augmented Generation Development

The paper introduces EAR, an Entity‑Aware Partitioning approach that improves retrieval‑augmented generation for multiple‑choice question answering by extracting normalized surface anchors from questions, answers, and the corpus. EAR retrieves local windows around matching anchors and can attach a larger parent passage via an extractive summary, reducing retrieved words by 37.5‑40.2% compared to fixed‑size chunks. Experiments on a cleaned MMLU‑style subset with Mistral, Gemma, and DeepSeek show modest accuracy changes, none statistically significant, highlighting EAR’s methodological contribution of compact, inspectable retrieval units.
