动态调整检索上下文,让多层级知识图谱更精准回答复杂问题。

ACE-GraphRAG: Agentic Context Engineering for Hierarchical GraphRAG

  • 用智能策略在推理时动态优化上下文,解决知识粒度与查询不匹配问题。
  • 在多跳问答和摘要任务中,性能优于现有RAG和GraphRAG基线模型。
  • 支持按任务和数据结构自适应选择策略,适合复杂知识密集型应用。

多层级图检索增强生成(GraphRAG)在不同粒度上组织语料知识,但固定上下文构建可能无法将这些多分辨率表示转化为适配当前查询的上下文。我们识别出这一不匹配为表征-推理差距。提出面向多层级图RAG的智能上下文工程(ACE-GraphRAG),一种在推理时补充并适配初始上下文的策略层。ACE-GraphRAG将上下文构建建模为对差距感知的精炼、检索分支和任务条件化适配的策略。并行差分检索从深度导向的事实分支和广度导向的语义分支获取补充证据。这些证据增量与初始上下文融合,同时保留溯源信息和抽象层级。全量-ACE在每类任务中统一应用完整策略,而自适应-ACE针对每个查询选择任务和拓扑特定策略。我们在HotpotQA、2WikiMultiHopQA及四个UltraDomain子集上评估了多跳问答和聚焦查询摘要任务。全量-ACE在两类任务中均超越对比基线,自适应-ACE进一步提升多跳问答表现,并在所有四个UltraDomain子集上优于全量-ACE。消融与拓扑分析表明,将上下文构建视为依赖查询和任务的推理策略比固定流程更有效。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Hierarchical Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) organizes corpus knowledge at multiple levels of granularity, yet fixed context construction may fail to translate these multi-resolution representations into a context suited to the current query. We identify this mismatch as the representation--inference gap. We propose Agentic Context Engineering for Hierarchical GraphRAG (ACE-GraphRAG), an inference-time context policy layer that supplements and adapts the initial context for generation. ACE-GraphRAG formulates context construction as a policy over gap-aware refinement, retrieval branches, and task-conditioned adaptation. Parallel Differential Retrieval acquires supplementary evidence from depth-oriented factual and breadth-oriented semantic branches. These evidence increments are consolidated with the initial context while preserving provenance and abstraction levels. Full-ACE applies the full policy uniformly within each task family, whereas Adaptive-ACE selects task- and topology-specific policies for individual queries. We evaluate ACE-GraphRAG on HotpotQA, 2WikiMultiHopQA, and four UltraDomain subsets across multi-hop QA and query-focused summarization. Full-ACE outperforms the evaluated RAG and GraphRAG baselines across both task families, while Adaptive-ACE further improves multi-hop QA and is preferred over Full-ACE on all four UltraDomain subsets. Ablation and topology analyses support treating context construction as a query- and task-dependent inference policy rather than a fixed procedure.
