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.

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.

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.
