EvLink: Source-Grounded Evidence Linking for Graph RAG

Graph-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) supports multi-hop reasoning by organizing corpora into structured graphs. However, graph reachability often captures semantic association rather than evidence support, so a reachable passage may still fail to justify a required cross-passage transition. We propose...

LineageRAG: Harnessing GraphRAG by Constructing Evidence Lineages with Source Grounding

The proposed LineageRAG is a graph-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation method, which constructs one evidence for each query-derived evidence demand and completes it with a verbatim source span when the selected evidence supports that demand.
