ORDER: Task-Conditioned Routing for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

The paper introduces ORDER, a task‑conditioned retrieval‑augmented generation framework that dynamically adapts both indexing and retrieval strategies to each incoming query. It first clusters questions to learn cluster‑specific chunking, metadata filtering, and reranking settings, then routes queries to the appropriate pre‑built index via nearest‑centroid assignment. Additionally, a supervised query router predicts relevant collections and a Uniform Multi‑source Sampler distributes the retrieval budget evenly across selected sources, yielding superior performance on heterogeneous historical archives compared to existing RAG systems.

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.

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.

When Is Graph Structure Worth Its Cost? The Case for Structure Pricing in Retrieval-Augmented Generation

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.
