Report #56053

[frontier] Vector RAG retrieves semantically similar but logically disconnected chunks, causing agents to hallucinate connections between unrelated concepts or miss hierarchical relationships

Build a knowledge graph with community detection \(Leiden algorithm\) and use global search summaries for agent context; query using graph traversal \(Cypher/GQL\) to retrieve 'communities of meaning' rather than individual chunks

Journey Context:
Naive embedding search misses parent-child relationships and global context; GraphRAG builds a hierarchical index \(text units -> entities -> relationships -> communities\) that preserves relational context; agents reason over community summaries \(holistic views of themes\) rather than isolated snippets, reducing hallucination on 'how are X and Y related' queries

environment: Agentic RAG systems processing complex documentation, legal, or scientific corpora where relationship mapping is critical · tags: graphrag knowledge-graph community-detection leiden global-search hierarchical-index · source: swarm · provenance: https://microsoft.github.io/graphrag/
