Query-Aware Multi-Relational Evidence Graph for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Abstract

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems typically apply identical retrieval logic to all user queries, overlooking that different query intents depend on fundamentally different document relationships. We propose QMEG, a query-aware retrieval framework that constructs a multi-relational evidence graph with five active semantic edge types (plus one reserved for future borrowing data) and dynamically activates edge subsets according to query intent. On a library dataset of 19,818 books with 250 annotated queries, QMEG achieves 31% higher diversity on learningpath queries and 47% higher LLM-judged quality on fact queries compared to fixed-graph baselines, while remaining robust under weight perturbation. Ablation reveals that the topic-similarity edge is indispensable for exploratory recommendation, with diversity dropping 34% upon its removal.

ORDER: Task-Conditioned Routing for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines typically rely on a fixed indexing and retrieval configuration determined at preprocessing time. This one-size-fits-all design is ill-suited to domain-expert settings, where heterogeneous queries require different chunking granularities, metadata constraints, and source-se...

Finding the Right Balance: Relevance and Diversity in LLM Retrieval

Retrieval diversification is widely available in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) frameworks, yet prior studies disagree on whether it improves retrieval and answer quality. We show that its effectiveness varies primarily with candidate-pool redundancy, in a pattern consistent with the number of distinct evidence p...

Corpus-Guided Dual-Path Propagation for Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Graph-based retrieval-augmented generation supports multi-hop retrieval by organizing corpus information into graphs. However, existing relation-free graph retrieval methods rely primarily on query-sentence similarity to search for evidence. This can exclude useful bridging evidence with low query similarity and activa...
