arXiv:2606.28447v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhanced by Knowledge Graphs has shown promise in complex multi-hop reasoning tasks. However, existing graph-based retrieval methods typically rely on flat, undirected topologies. During the retrieval process, the probability flow often gets trapped in high-degree abstract concept nodes which we define as ``probability black holes'', leading to semantic drift and noise accumulation. To address this, we propose SemFlowRAG, a framework that reconstructs the flat retrieval space into a corpus-adaptive semantic
This development appears now because existing RAG frameworks, especially those using Knowledge Graphs, are encountering limitations with semantic drift and noise in complex reasoning, prompting a need for more robust retrieval methodologies.
Improved RAG systems are critical for advancing AI's ability to perform complex, multi-hop reasoning, directly impacting the sophistication and reliability of AI agents and knowledge work automation.
The proposed SemFlowRAG framework introduces a 'directed semantic flow' that mitigates 'probability black holes' in graph-based retrieval, marking a significant step towards more accurate and efficient information retrieval for complex AI tasks.
