HG-RAG: Hierarchy-Guided Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Structured Knowledge Graphs

Abstract

arXiv:2607.14095v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has proven to be a widely successful process at improving the quality of outputs from a Large Language Model (LLM) for wider context. However, RAG systems typically retrieve context from flat document stores, which struggles when queries require hierarchical or relational reasoning across structured knowledge. I present HG-RAG (Hierarchy-Guided RAG), a framework that performs graph-traversal over a hierarchical
