Report #45039

[frontier] How do I move beyond naive vector similarity RAG to answer complex, multi-hop questions across document corpora?

Build a knowledge graph from documents using entity extraction, then apply Leiden community detection to create hierarchical clusters, enabling global search across abstracted community summaries rather than just local chunks.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG fails on questions requiring synthesis across many documents \(e.g., What are the main themes across this entire book corpus?\). It retrieves semantically similar chunks but misses higher-order patterns. GraphRAG first indexes the corpus into a knowledge graph \(entities, relationships\), then uses community detection to identify thematic clusters. At query time, it can search community summaries \(global search\) for broad questions or specific entities \(local search\) for specific facts. This handles multi-hop reasoning that vector similarity cannot.
