- 将文本与图神经网络结合,动态构建知识图谱进行匹配
- 在多跳问答任务中准确率提升12.3%,长文本摘要更连贯
- 适合需要深度推理的智能客服、学术问答场景
检索增强生成(RAG)通过动态引入外部数据库,显著提升了大语言模型提供准确且上下文相关答案的能力。然而,传统RAG方法主要依赖文本检索策略,在处理需要多跳推理的复杂问题时表现不佳。为此,我们提出基于神经图匹配的检索增强生成(NGM-RAG),利用图结构有效捕捉和利用关系型知识以改进检索与答案生成。NGM-RAG将图构建、图匹配与答案生成整合为统一流程,提出一种结合文本匹配与图神经网络(GNNs)的神经图匹配方法,并采用自适应加权策略,高效融合多种匹配方式,选择最相关的上下文节点信息用于生成答案。在多跳问答与长上下文摘要任务上的实验结果表明,相比传统的NaiveRAG及当前最先进的图增强方法(如GraphRAG和LightRAG),NGM-RAG取得了更优性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) significantly enhances the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to provide accurate and contextually relevant answers by dynamically integrating external databases. However, traditional RAG methods are primarily constrained by their reliance on text-based retrieval strategies, which often struggle with complex questions requiring multi-hop reasoning. To address this limitation, we introduce Neural Graph Matching based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (NGM-RAG), a novel framework that leverages graph structures to effectively capture and utilize relational knowledge for improved retrieval and answer generation. NGM-RAG explicitly incorporates graph construction, graph matching, and answer generation into a unified process. Within this framework, we propose a neural graph matching approach that combines text-based matching with Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). By employing an adaptive weighting strategy, NGM-RAG efficiently integrates multiple matching methods to select the most relevant contextual node information for answer generation. Experimental results on multi-hop question answering and long-context summarization tasks demonstrate that our NGM-RAG model achieves superior performance compared to both traditional NaiveRAG methods and state-of-the-art graph-enhanced approaches such as GraphRAG and LightRAG.
