R$^{2}$Adapter: A Routing and Rewriting Adapter for Efficient Hybrid RAG

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

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.

TreeHop: Efficient Embedding-Level Query Rewriter

arXiv:2504. 20114v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems face significant challenges in multi-hop question answering (MHQA), where complex queries require synthesizing information across multiple document chunks.

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.

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.

SelfGraphRAG: Bridging the Supervision Gap in Graph-Based RAG with Synthetic QA Generation

SelfGraphRAG is a framework that generates synthetic question‑answer pairs directly from the structure of a knowledge graph to train a query‑conditioned graph retriever. By capturing multi‑hop paths and local neighborhoods, the generated questions provide relational supervision without requiring manually labeled data. Experiments on multi‑hop question answering and classification tasks show that SelfGraphRAG improves retrieval precision and downstream reasoning performance compared to embedding‑based baselines.
