Report #55882

[frontier] Naive RAG retrieves disconnected chunks, losing global context and relationships in complex documents

Use GraphRAG \(knowledge graph construction \+ community detection\) to index entities and relationships, then generate answers from community summaries rather than raw chunks

Journey Context:
Vector similarity fails on 'global questions' \(e.g., 'What are the main themes?'\) because chunks lack context. GraphRAG builds a hierarchical index \(entities -> communities -> summaries\). Tradeoff: higher upfront compute for indexing, but enables global reasoning. Alternatives like HyDE or reranking don't fix the structural disconnect of flat chunks.
