Key Points

  • The paper introduces UniAI-GraphRAG, an enhanced open-source GraphRAG framework aimed at improving complex reasoning, multi-hop query answering, and domain-specific QA.
  • Its ontology-guided extraction uses predefined schemas to steer LLMs toward more accurate identification of entities and relations.
  • It applies a multi-dimensional community clustering strategy, using alignment completion, attribute-based clustering, and multi-hop relationship clustering to improve community completeness.
  • A dual-channel graph retrieval fusion mechanism combines hybrid graph and community retrieval to balance QA accuracy with retrieval performance.
  • Experiments on the MultiHopRAG benchmark show improved comprehensive F1 scores over mainstream open-source baselines like LightRAG, especially for inference and temporal queries, with accompanying code released on GitHub.

Abstract

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems face significant challenges in complex reasoning, multi-hop queries, and domain-specific QA. While existing GraphRAG frameworks have made progress in structural knowledge organization, they still have limitations in cross-industry adaptability, community report integrity, and retrieval performance. This paper proposes UniAI-GraphRAG, an enhanced framework built upon open-source GraphRAG. The framework introduces three core innovations: (1) Ontology-Guided Knowledge Extraction that uses predefined Schema to guide LLMs in accurately identifying domain-specific entities and relations; (2) Multi-Dimensional Community Clustering Strategy that improves community completeness through alignment completion, attribute-based clustering, and multi-hop relationship clustering; (3) Dual-Channel Graph Retrieval Fusion that balances QA accuracy and performance through hybrid graph and community retrieval. Evaluation results on MultiHopRAG benchmark show that UniAI-GraphRAG outperforms mainstream open source solutions (e.g.LightRAG) in comprehensive F1 scores, particularly in inference and temporal queries.
