AdaGATE通过修复缺失桥接事实,提升多跳问答的检索效率与鲁棒性。
AdaGATE: Adaptive Gap-Aware Token-Efficient Evidence Assembly for Multi-Hop Retrieval-Augmented Generation
- 将证据选择视为受限的修复问题,动态追踪实体间信息缺口。
- 在干净数据上达62.3%证据F1,冗余条件下达71.2%,用例减少2.6倍。
- 适合需要高效处理噪声/冗余检索结果的多跳问答系统开发者。
多跳检索增强生成(RAG)在真实场景中仍易受干扰,因检索证据常含噪声或冗余,且生成器可用上下文有限。现有控制器或逐次扩展上下文、或从固定前k个候选中选取,或仅优化相关性却未显式修复缺失的桥接事实。本文提出AdaGATE,一种无需训练的证据控制器,将证据选择建模为有令牌限制的修复问题。它结合实体中心的信息缺口追踪、针对性微查询生成及基于效用的筛选机制,平衡缺口覆盖、佐证强度、新颖性、冗余度与直接相关性。在HotpotQA上测试,无论在干净、冗余还是注入噪声的检索条件下,AdaGATE均优于对比控制器,在干净数据上取得62.3%的证据F1,冗余注入下达71.2%,且输入令牌数仅为Adaptive-k的2.6倍。结果表明,显式缺口感知修复与令牌高效的证据选择能显著提升多跳RAG在不完美检索下的鲁棒性。代码与评估流程已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) remains brittle on multi-hop questions in realistic deployment settings, where retrieved evidence may be noisy or redundant and only limited context can be passed to the generator. Existing controllers address parts of this problem, but typically either expand context additively, select from a fixed top-k set, or optimize relevance without explicitly repairing missing bridge facts. We propose AdaGATE, a training-free evidence controller for multi-hop RAG that frames evidence selection as a token-constrained repair problem. AdaGATE combines entity centric gap tracking, targeted micro-query generation, and a utility based selection mechanism that balances gap coverage, corroboration, novelty, redundancy, and direct question relevance. We evaluate AdaGATE on HotpotQA under clean, redundancy, and noise injected retrieval conditions. Across all three settings, AdaGATE achieves the best evidence F1 among the compared controllers, reaching 62.3% on clean data and 71.2% under redundancy injection, while using 2.6x fewer input tokens than Adaptive-k. These results suggest that explicit gap-aware repair, combined with token-efficient evidence selection, improves robustness in multi-hop RAG under imperfect retrieval.
