检索增强生成(RAG)通过外部证据提升语言模型表现,但多跳问答仍具挑战:迭代流程需精准控制下一步检索时机及证据充分性。实际中,系统可能基于不完整证据作答,或积累冗余、干扰文本,影响后续推理。本文提出S2G-RAG框架,引入显式控制器S2G-Judge。每轮中,S2G-Judge判断当前证据记忆是否足以回答,并在不足时输出结构化缺失项,描述所需信息。这些缺失项被映射为下一轮检索查询,形成稳定多轮检索轨迹。为减少噪声累积,S2G-RAG通过提取相关句子构建句级证据上下文,保持信息紧凑。在TriviaQA、HotpotQA和2WikiMultiHopQA上的实验表明,S2G-RAG显著提升多跳问答性能与多轮检索鲁棒性。此外,该方法可作为轻量组件集成至现有RAG流水线,无需修改搜索引擎或重新训练生成器。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) grounds language models in external evidence, but multi-hop question answering remains difficult because iterative pipelines must control what to retrieve next and when the available evidence is adequate. In practice, systems may answer from incomplete evidence chains, or they may accumulate redundant or distractor-heavy text that interferes with later retrieval and reasoning. We propose S2G-RAG (Structured Sufficiency and Gap-judging RAG), an iterative framework with an explicit controller, S2G-Judge. At each turn, S2G-Judge predicts whether the current evidence memory supports answering and, if not, outputs structured gap items that describe the missing information. These gap items are then mapped into the next retrieval query, producing stable multi-turn retrieval trajectories. To reduce noise accumulation, S2G-RAG maintains a sentence-level Evidence Context by extracting a compact set of relevant sentences from retrieved documents. Experiments on TriviaQA, HotpotQA, and 2WikiMultiHopQA show that S2G-RAG improves multi-hop QA performance and robustness under multi-turn retrieval. Furthermore, S2G-RAG can be integrated into existing RAG pipelines as a lightweight component, without modifying the search engine or retraining the generator.
