用超图融合结构与语义信息,提升多跳问答的准确性和速度。

Cross-Granularity Hypergraph Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Multi-hop Question Answering

  • 构建实体超图,以细粒度实体为节点、粗粒度段落为超边,关联分散知识。
  • 通过超图扩散融合实体与段落相似性,提升检索相关性,准确率显著提高。
  • 引入检索增强模块优化结果,推理效率提升6倍,适合高要求问答系统。

多跳问答(MHQA)需要整合分布在多个段落中的知识以得出正确答案。传统检索增强生成(RAG)方法主要依赖粗粒度文本语义相似性,忽视分散知识间的结构关联,限制了其在MHQA任务中的表现。图RAG方法通过知识图谱捕捉结构关联,但过度依赖结构信息和细粒度词项检索,导致语义信息利用不足。本文提出一种名为HGRAG的新RAG方法,通过超图实现结构与语义信息的跨粒度融合。结构上,构建实体超图:将细粒度实体作为节点,粗粒度段落作为超边,通过共享实体建立知识关联。语义上,设计超图检索方法,通过超图扩散整合细粒度实体相似性与粗粒度段落相似性。最后,采用检索增强模块,在语义与结构层面进一步优化检索结果,为大语言模型提供最相关的上下文以生成答案。在基准数据集上的实验表明,该方法在问答性能上优于现有先进方法,并实现6倍的检索效率提升。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multi-hop question answering (MHQA) requires integrating knowledge scattered across multiple passages to derive the correct answer. Traditional retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) methods primarily focus on coarse-grained textual semantic similarity and ignore structural associations among dispersed knowledge, which limits their effectiveness in MHQA tasks. GraphRAG methods address this by leveraging knowledge graphs (KGs) to capture structural associations, but they tend to overly rely on structural information and fine-grained word- or phrase-level retrieval, resulting in an underutilization of textual semantics. In this paper, we propose a novel RAG approach called HGRAG for MHQA that achieves cross-granularity integration of structural and semantic information via hypergraphs. Structurally, we construct an entity hypergraph where fine-grained entities serve as nodes and coarse-grained passages as hyperedges, and establish knowledge association through shared entities. Semantically, we design a hypergraph retrieval method that integrates fine-grained entity similarity and coarse-grained passage similarity via hypergraph diffusion. Finally, we employ a retrieval enhancement module, which further refines the retrieved results both semantically and structurally, to obtain the most relevant passages as context for answer generation with the LLM. Experimental results on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods in QA performance, and achieves a 6$\times$ speedup in retrieval efficiency.
