  • 先检测后分类再修复冲突,用轻量模型+大模型精炼降低调用成本。
  • 检测准确率达90.8%,冲突识别F1达88.7%,正确率提升5.3%~6.1%。
  • 适合需要高可靠性的问答系统,尤其在信息矛盾多的场景下。

检索增强生成(RAG)系统隐含假设检索文档之间知识一致,但实际中常出现矛盾。本文提出ConflictRAG,一种冲突感知的RAG框架,可在生成答案前检测、分类并解决知识冲突。该框架包含三项贡献:(1)两阶段冲突检测模块,结合轻量级嵌入-MLP分类器与选择性LLM精炼,将API调用成本降低62%,同时保持90.8%的检测准确率;(2)基于熵与TOPSIS的数据驱动源可信度评估方法,在选择准确率上比人工规则提升7.1%;(3)冲突感知的RAG评分(CARS),用于诊断冲突处理能力。在三个基准测试中对比六种基线,冲突检测F1达88.7%,相比最强冲突感知基线,正确率持续提升5.3%~6.1%,且在不同主干LLM间具有良好迁移性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems implicitly assume mutual consistency among retrieved documents -- an assumption that frequently fails in practice. We present ConflictRAG, a conflict-aware RAG framework that detects, classifies, and resolves knowledge conflicts prior to answer generation. The framework introduces three contributions: (1) a two-stage conflict detection module combining a lightweight embedding-based MLP classifier with selective LLM refinement, reducing API costs by 62% while maintaining 90.8% detection accuracy; (2) an Entropy-TOPSIS framework for data-driven source credibility assessment, improving selection accuracy by 7.1% over manual heuristics; and (3) a Conflict-Aware RAG Score (CARS) for diagnostic evaluation of conflict-handling capabilities. Experiments on three benchmarks against six baselines demonstrate 88.7% conflict-detection F1 and consistent 5.3--6.1% correctness gains over the strongest conflict-aware baseline, with the pipeline transferring effectively across backbone LLMs.
