KG-RAG Model Architecture Flow
The KG-RAG model integrates a Knowledge Graph Module, a dual-channel Retrieval Module, and a Generation Module, controlled by a Path Controller. This flow ensures comprehensive knowledge integration and precise text generation.
| Model | Open-Domain QA (EM/F1) | Medical QA (EM/F1) | Dialogue (ROUGE-L) |
|---|---|---|---|
| DPR + BART | 42.3/57.8 | 61.2/66.7 | 26.1 |
| KG-BART | 44.9/59.6 | 62.5/68.0 | 27.9 |
| K-BERT | 46.1/61.0 | 64.7/69.4 | 28.4 |
| KG-RAG (Ours) | 49.8/64.2 | 68.9/73.2 | 31.6 |
KG-RAG consistently outperforms traditional RAG and KG-integrated baselines in both open-domain and medical question answering tasks, demonstrating superior accuracy and reasoning capabilities.
Key Innovation Impact: FactScore
13.6% FactScore ImprovementOne of KG-RAG's most significant advancements is its ability to reduce 'fact hallucination', leading to a substantial improvement in the FactScore metric, particularly on the Natural Questions dataset.
Case Study: Medical QA Accuracy
Question: Is metformin beneficial in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome?
Variant A Output: Yes. Metformin is helpful in many cases. (Lacks supporting details; vague answer.)
Variant C Output (KG-RAG): Yes. According to clinical trials cited in the KG path 'Metformin→ Improves insulin sensitivity → PCOS treatment', metformin improves metabolic outcomes and fertility in PCOS patients. (Combines factual correctness with interpretable knowledge reasoning.)
In the PubMedQA task, KG-RAG demonstrated a clear advantage in knowledge reasoning within specialized fields, providing more logical and factual answers. The combined fusion strategy of KG-RAG (Variant C) provides significantly more accurate and contextually rich responses, especially in multi-hop or entity-dense questions, by leveraging explicit KG paths. Variant A, relying on soft fusion alone, is less specific and lacks verifiable reasoning.
