CacheRAG: A Semantic Caching System for Retrieval-Augmented Generation in Knowledge Graph Question Answering

arXiv:2604.26176v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has significantly advanced Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA). However, existing LLM-driven KGQA systems act as stateless planners, generating retrieval plans in isolation without exploiting historical query patterns: analogous to a database system that optimizes every query from scratch without a plan cache. This fundamental design flaw leads to schema hallucinations and limited retrieval coverage. We propose CacheRAG, a systematic cache-au
The rapid advancement and adoption of LLM-driven RAG systems for knowledge retrieval are highlighting their current inefficiencies, making performance optimization a critical next step.
Improving the efficiency and accuracy of RAG systems for Knowledge Graph Question Answering is crucial for scaling AI applications that rely on complex data retrieval and factual consistency.
The introduction of semantic caching transforms stateless RAG planners into intelligent, stateful systems that learn from past queries, reducing redundancy and improving accuracy.
