检索增强生成(RAG)通过从外部源检索知识、技能和工具来提升下游任务表现。图结构天然具有节点与边连接的特性,能编码海量异构且具有关联性的信息,是现实世界中RAG的理想资源。近年来,将图引入RAG(即GraphRAG)受到广泛关注。然而,不同于传统RAG可在统一神经嵌入空间中设计,图数据在格式、领域上差异显著,导致GraphRAG在跨领域应用中面临独特挑战。鉴于其广泛应用前景、设计难题及研究热度,亟需一份系统性综述。本文提出一个全面的GraphRAG框架,定义了查询处理器、检索器、组织器、生成器和数据源等关键组件;针对不同领域的关系模式差异,综述了定制化技术;最后讨论现存挑战并展望跨学科发展方向。相关资源已开源:https://github.com/Graph-RAG/GraphRAG/

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a powerful technique that enhances downstream task execution by retrieving additional information, such as knowledge, skills, and tools from external sources. Graph, by its intrinsic "nodes connected by edges" nature, encodes massive heterogeneous and relational information, making it a golden resource for RAG in tremendous real-world applications. As a result, we have recently witnessed increasing attention on equipping RAG with Graph, i.e., GraphRAG. However, unlike conventional RAG, where the retriever, generator, and external data sources can be uniformly designed in the neural-embedding space, the uniqueness of graph-structured data, such as diverse-formatted and domain-specific relational knowledge, poses unique and significant challenges when designing GraphRAG for different domains. Given the broad applicability, the associated design challenges, and the recent surge in GraphRAG, a systematic and up-to-date survey of its key concepts and techniques is urgently desired. Following this motivation, we present a comprehensive and up-to-date survey on GraphRAG. Our survey first proposes a holistic GraphRAG framework by defining its key components, including query processor, retriever, organizer, generator, and data source. Furthermore, recognizing that graphs in different domains exhibit distinct relational patterns and require dedicated designs, we review GraphRAG techniques uniquely tailored to each domain. Finally, we discuss research challenges and brainstorm directions to inspire cross-disciplinary opportunities. Our survey repository is publicly maintained at https://github.com/Graph-RAG/GraphRAG/.
