The heterogeneous graph structure of NodeRAG is its core strength, which significantly improves retrieval accuracy through the following mechanisms:
- Multiple node types: Supports multiple node types such as documents, entities, keywords, etc., which can represent data relationships in a more detailed way and avoid the limitations of a single node type.
- Graph Decomposition and Enhancement: Splitting complex queries into subtasks assigned to different node types and supplementing implicit relationships between nodes to improve contextual integrity.
- More jump reasoning: Multi-hop reasoning (2-3 hops recommended) is supported by the graph search algorithm, which is capable of digging deeper into the deep associations between data.
- Incremental Updates: Dynamically updating the graph structure without having to rebuild the entire graph database ensures data currency.
For example, when querying "deep learning in healthcare", NodeRAG can first jump from the keyword node to the relevant paper node, and then jump to the author or organization node, and finally provide comprehensive search results.
In addition, the graph structure visualization tool helps users intuitively understand data relationships and further optimize search strategies.
