To read the full paper, visit https://arxiv.org/pdf/2502.14902 6 | 7 | ## Team Structure 8 | 9 | 1. **Graph Construction Expert**: Builds and explains the indexing graph structure from text data 10 | 2. **Node Retrieval Specialist**: Demonstrates keyword extraction and relevant node identification 11 | 3. **Path Analysis Engineer**: Implements the flow-based pruning algorithm with distance awareness 12 | 4. **Reliability Scoring Architect**: Calculates and explains path reliability scores 13 | 5. **Prompt Engineering Specialist**: Shows path-based prompting techniques with ascending reliability order 14 | 6. **Evaluation Researcher**: Measures performance across comprehensiveness, diversity, logicality, relevance, and coherence 15 | 16 | ## Installation 17 | 18 | ```bash 19 | # Create and activate a virtual environment 20 | python -m venv .venv 21 | \.venv\Scripts\activate # Windows 22 | 23 | # Ensure you have the latest pip, setuptools, and wheel 24 | pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel 25 | 26 | # Install dependencies 27 | pip install -r requirements.txt 28 | 29 | # Download SpaCy model 30 | python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm 31 | 32 | # Configure environment variables 33 | cp .env.example .env 34 | # Edit .env with your API keys 35 | ``` 36 | 37 | > **Note:** If you encounter any installation issues, particularly with numpy or other packages requiring compilation, try installing the problematic packages individually first before running the full requirements installation. 38 | 39 | ## Environment Configuration 40 | 41 | PathRAG uses environment variables for API keys and configuration settings. The framework supports multiple AI providers for different components: 42 | 43 | 1. Copy the example configuration file: 44 | ```bash 45 | cp .env.example .env 46 | ``` 47 | 48 | 2. Edit the `.env` file with your API keys: 49 | - `OPENAI_API_KEY`: Required for LLM components 50 | - `GOOGLE_API_KEY`: Used for semantic search and embeddings 51 | - Other optional keys for alternate providers 52 | 53 | 3. Configure agent settings in the `.env` file: 54 | - Enable/disable specific agents 55 | - Adjust graph parameters 56 | - Customize visualization settings 57 | 58 | ## Running the Demo 59 | 60 | ```bash 61 | python main.py 62 | ``` 63 | ## Output 64 | 65 | ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d47abf51-ab97-449f-b603-da30f3a40429) 66 | 67 | ## Project Structure 68 | 69 | - `main.py`: Main script to run the PathRAG demonstration 70 | - `test.py`: Test script to verify basic functionality 71 | - `agents/`: Contains the implementation of each AI agent 72 | - `graph_construction_expert.py`: Builds indexing graph from text documents 73 | - `node_retrieval_specialist.py`: Extracts keywords and identifies relevant nodes 74 | - `path_analysis_engineer.py`: Implements flow-based pruning algorithm 75 | - `reliability_scoring_architect.py`: Calculates reliability scores for paths 76 | - `prompt_engineering_specialist.py`: Creates path-based prompts for LLMs 77 | - `evaluation_researcher.py`: Measures performance across multiple dimensions 78 | - `utils/`: Utility functions for data processing and manipulation 79 | - `data_loader.py`: Functions for loading and processing text data 80 | - `visualization/`: Code for visualizing the graph and pruned paths 81 | - `graph_visualizer.py`: Static and interactive graph visualization tools 82 | 83 | ## Key Features 84 | 85 | ### 1. Graph-Based Knowledge Representation 86 | - Constructs knowledge graphs from document collections 87 | - Represents entities and their relationships as nodes and edges 88 | - Preserves semantic connections between information pieces 89 | 90 | ### 2. Flow-Based Path Pruning 91 | - Implements resource propagation algorithm to identify important paths 92 | - Uses distance awareness to prioritize direct connections 93 | - Reduces redundancy while maintaining information quality 94 | 95 | ### 3. Reliability Scoring 96 | - Assigns reliability scores to extracted paths 97 | - Uses a combination of resource values and path characteristics 98 | - Provides explainable scoring metrics for transparency 99 | 100 | ### 4. Path-Based Prompt Engineering 101 | - Generates prompts with paths ordered by reliability 102 | - Addresses the "lost in the middle" problem in LLM attention 103 | - Offers multiple template strategies for different scenarios 104 | 105 | ### 5. Comprehensive Evaluation 106 | - Evaluates across five dimensions: comprehensiveness, diversity, logicality, relevance, and coherence 107 | - Provides token efficiency comparisons with traditional RAG 108 | - Includes visualization of performance metrics 109 | 110 | ### 6. Rich Visualization 111 | - Static graph visualization with node highlighting 112 | - Path extraction visualization to show pruning results 113 | - Interactive 3D visualization for in-depth exploration 114 | 115 | ## Research Implementation Details 116 | 117 | The PathRAG implementation follows the approach described in the paper with these key components: 118 | 119 | 1. **Resource Propagation**: Resources flow from starting nodes through the graph with decay over distance 120 | 2. **Path Extraction**: Paths are extracted between relevant nodes based on resource values 121 | 3. **Reliability Scoring**: Paths are scored using a combination of resource values and path characteristics 122 | 4. **Prompt Construction**: Paths are ordered by reliability in the final LLM prompt 123 | 124 | For more technical details, see the code documentation and the original paper. 125 | 126 | ## Example Usage 127 | 128 | ```python 129 | from pathrag_demo import PathRAGDemo 130 | 131 | # Initialize the PathRAG demonstration 132 | demo = PathRAGDemo() 133 | 134 | # Run the complete demonstration with a query 135 | demo.run_demo("How does PathRAG reduce redundancy in graph-based retrieval?") 136 | 137 | # Access individual components 138 | graph = demo.graph_expert.get_graph() 139 | nodes = demo.node_specialist.retrieve_nodes(graph, "my query") 140 | paths = demo.path_engineer.extract_paths(graph,

Moreover, both methods adopt a flat structure to organize retrieved information in the prompts, e.g., directly concate- nating the textual information of all retrieved nodes and edges, resulting in answers with suboptimal logicality and coherence. To overcome the above limitations, we pro- pose PathRAG, which performs key path retrieval among retrieved nodes and converts these paths", 12 | "into textual form for LLM prompting. As shown in Figure 1 (c), we focus on the key relational paths between retrieved nodes to alleviate noise and re- duce token consumption.

To improve text quality (Fang et al., 2024a; Xu et al., 2024; Zhu et al., 2024) and mitigate hallucination effects (Lewis et al., 2020; Guu et al., 2020), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is widely used in large language models (LLMs) by leveraging external databases. These", 17 | "databases primarily store data in textual form, con- taining a vast amount of domain knowledge that LLMs can directly retrieve. We refer to such sys- tems as text-based RAG. Based on different re- trieval mechanisms (Fan et al., 2024), text-based RAG can be broadly classified into two categories: sparse vector retrieval (Alon et al., 2022; Schick et al., 2023; Jiang et al., 2023; Cheng et al., 2024) anddense vector retrieval (Lewis et al., 2020;", 18 | "Hofst\u00e4tter et al., 2023; Li et al., 2024a; Zhang et al., 2024). Sparse vector retrieval typically identifies the most representative words in each text segment by word frequency, and retrieves relevant text for a specific query based on keyword matching. In contrast, dense vector retrieval addresses issues like lexical mismatches and synonyms by encoding both query terms and text into vector embeddings. It then retrieves relevant content based on the simi-", 19 | "larity between these embeddings. However, most text-based RAG methods use a flat organization of text segments, and fail to capture essential relation- ships between chunks ( e.g., the contextual depen- dencies), limiting the quality of LLM-generated responses (Edge et al., 2024; Guo et al., 2024). KG-RAG . Besides text databases, researchers have proposed retrieving information from knowl- edge graphs (KGs), known as KG-RAG (Ya- 2", 20 | "Figure 2: The overall framework of our proposed PathRAG with three main stages. 1) Node Retrieval Stage: Relevant nodes are retrieved from the indexing graph based on the keywords in the query; 2) Path Retrieval Stage: We design a flow-based pruning algorithm to extract key relational paths between each pair of retrieved nodes, and then retrieve paths with the highest reliability scores; 3) Answer Generation Stage: The retrieved paths are placed", 21 | "into prompts in ascending order of reliability scores, and finally fed into an LLM for answer generation. sunaga et al., 2021; Gao et al., 2022a; Li et al., 2024b; Procko and Ochoa, 2024; He et al., 2025). These methods can utilize existing KGs (Wen et al., 2023; Dehghan et al., 2024) or their optimized ver- sions (Fang et al., 2024b; Panda et al., 2024), and enable LLMs to retrieve information of relevant entities and their relationships. Specifically, KG-", 22 | "RAG methods typically extract a local subgraph from the KG (Bordes et al., 2015; Talmor and Be- rant, 2018; Gu et al., 2021), such as the immediate neighbors of the entity mentioned in a query. How- ever, most KG-RAG methods focus on addressing questions that can be answered with a single entity or relation in the KG (Joshi et al., 2017; Yang et al., 2018; Kwiatkowski et al., 2019; Ho et al., 2020), narrowing the scope of their applicability. Graph-based RAG . Instead of utilizing pre-", 23 | "constructed KGs, graph-based RAG (Edge et al., 2024; Guo et al., 2024) typically organizes text databases as text-associated graphs, and focuses on global-level questions that need the information from multiple segments across a database. The graph construction process often involves extract- ing entities from the text and identifying relation- ships between these entities. Also, contextual in- formation is included as descriptive text to mini- mize the information loss during the text-to-graph", 24 | "conversion. GraphRAG (Edge et al., 2024) first ap- plies community detection algorithms on the graph, and then gradually aggregates the information from sub-communities to form higher-level community information. LightRAG (Guo et al., 2024) adoptsa dual-stage retrieval framework to accelerate the retrieval process. First, it extracts both local and global keywords from the question. Then, it re- trieves relevant nodes and edges using these key- words, treating the ego-network information of the", 25 | "retrieved nodes as the final retrieval results. This approach simplifies the retrieval process and effec- tively handles global-level tasks. However, the re- trieved information covers all immediate neighbors of relevant nodes, which may introduce noise harm- ing the answer quality. We also notice a concurrent work MiniRAG (Fan et al., 2025) that leverages path information to assist retrieval. But they focus on addressing questions that can be answered by", 26 | "the information of a specific node, and thus explore paths between query-related and answer-related nodes like KG reasoning (Yasunaga et al., 2021; Liu et al., 2021; Tian et al., 2022). Their implemen- tation details such as path discovery and integration are also quite different from ours. 3 Preliminaries In this section we will introduce and formalize the workflow of a graph-based RAG system. Instead of storing text chunks as an unordered collection, graph-based RAG automatically struc-", 27 | "tures a text database into an indexing graph as a preprocessing step. Given a text database, the entities and their interrelations within the textual content are identified by LLMs, and utilized to con- struct the node set Vand edge set E. Specifically, each node v\u2208 Vrepresents a distinct entity with an 3 identifier kv(e.g., entity name) and a textual chunk tv(e.g., associated text snippets), while each edge e\u2208 E represents the relationship between entity", 28 | "pairs with a descriptive textual chunk teto enrich relational context. We denote the indexing graph asG= (V,E,KV,T), where KVrepresent the col- lection of node identifiers and Tis the collection of textual chunks in the indexing graph. Given a query q, a graph-oriented retriever ex- tracts relevant nodes and edges in the indexing graph.

In this paper, we primarily focus on designing a more effective graph-oriented retriever and the supporting prompt template to achieve a better graph-based RAG. 4 Methodology In this section, we propose a novel graph-based RAG framework with the path-based retriever and", 30 | "a tailored prompt template, formally designated as PathRAG. As illustrated in Figure 2, the pro- posed framework operates on an indexing graph through three sequential stages: node retrieval, path retrieval, and answer generation. 4.1 Node Retrieval In this stage, we identify keywords from the input query by LLMs, and accordingly extract relevant nodes from the indexing graph. Given a query q, an LLM is utilized to extract keywords from the query text. The collection of keywords extracted from", 31 | "query qis denoted as Kq. Based on the extracted keywords, dense vector matching is employed to retrieve related nodes in the indexing graph G. In dense vector matching, the relevance between a keyword and a node is calculated by their similar- ity in the semantic embedding space, where the commonly used cosine similarity is adopted in our method. Specifically, we first encode both node identifiers and the extracted keywords using a se- mantic embedding model f:Kq\u222aKV\u2192 X q\u222aXV,", 32 | "where XV={xv}v\u2208Vrepresents the embeddings of node identifiers, and Xq={xq,i}|Kq| i=1denotesthe embeddings of the extracted keywords. Based on the obtained embeddings above, we then iterate overXqto search the most relevant nodes among XVwith the embedding similarity, until a prede- fined number Nof nodes is reached. The resulting subset of retrieved nodes is denoted as Vq\u2286 V. 4.2 Path Retrieval In this subsection, we introduce the path retrieval module that aggregates textual chunks in the form", 33 | "of relational paths to capture the connections be- tween retrieved nodes. Given two distinct retrieved nodes vstart, vend\u2208 Vq, there could be many reachable paths between them. Since not all paths are helpful to the task, further refinement is needed to enhance both effec- tiveness and efficiency. Inspired by the resource allocation strategy (L\u00fc and Zhou, 2011; Lin et al., 2015), we propose a flow-based pruning algorithm with distance awareness to extract key paths.", 34 | "Formally, we denote the sets of nodes pointing to viand nodes pointed by viasN(vi,\u00b7)andN(\u00b7, vi), respectively. We define the resource of node vias S(vi). We set S(vstart) = 1 and initialize other re- sources to 0, followed by propagating the resources through the neighborhood. The resource flowing to viis defined as: S(vi) =X vj\u2208N(\u00b7,vi)\u03b1\u00b7 S(vj) |N(vj,\u00b7)|, (2) where \u03b1represents the decay rate of information propagation along the edges. Based on the assump-", 35 | "tion that the closer two nodes are in the indexing graph, the stronger their connection will be, we introduce this penalty mechanism to enable the retriever to perceive distance. It is crucial to em- phasize that our approach differs from strictly sort- ing paths with a limited number of hops. Detailed comparative experiments will be presented in sub- sequent sections. Notably, due to the decay penalty and neighbor allocation, nodes located far from the initial node", 36 | "are assigned with negligible resources. Therefore, we introduce an early stopping strategy to prune paths in advance when S(vi) |N(vi,\u00b7)|< \u03b8, (3) where \u03b8is the pruning threshold. This ensures that the algorithm terminates early for nodes that contribute minimally to the overall propagation. 4 For efficiency concerns, we update the resource of a node at most once. We denote each path as an ordered sequence P=v0e0\u2212 \u2192 \u00b7\u00b7\u00b7 viei\u2212 \u2192 \u00b7\u00b7\u00b7 = (VP,EP), where vi", 37 | "andeirepresent the i-th node and directed edge, andVPandEPrepresent the set of nodes and edges in the path P, respectively. For each path P= (VP,EP), we calculate the average resource values flowing through its edges as the measurement of reliability, which can be formulated as: S(P) =1 |EP|X vi\u2208VPS(vi), (4) where|EP|is the number of edges in the path. Then, we sort these paths based on the reliability S(P) and retain only the most reliable relational paths", 38 | "for this node pair. These paths are added to the global candidate pool in the form of path-reliability pair(P,S(P)). We repeat the above process for each distinct node pair, ultimately obtaining all candidate paths. Then the top- Kreliable paths can be obtained from the candidate pool to serve as the retrieval information of query qfor subsequent generation, which we denote as Pq. 4.3 Answer Generation For better answer generation, we establish path", 39 | "prioritization based on their reliability, then strate- gically position these paths to align with LLMs\u2019 performance patterns (Qin et al., 2023; Liu et al., 2024; Cuconasu et al., 2024). Formally, for each retrieved relational path, we concatenate the textual chunks of all nodes and edges within the path to obtain a textual relational path, which can be formulated as: tP= concat([ \u00b7\u00b7\u00b7;tvi;tei;tvi+1;\u00b7\u00b7\u00b7]),(5) where concat( \u00b7)denotes the concatenation opera-", 40 | "tion,viandeiare the i-th node and edge in the path P, respectively. Considering the \u201clost in the middle\u201d issue (Liu et al., 2024; Cao et al., 2024; Firooz et al., 2024) for LLMs in long-context scenarios, directly aggre- gating the query with different relational paths may lead to suboptimal results. Therefore, we position the most critical information at the two ends of the template, which is regarded as the golden memory region for LLM comprehension. Specifically, we", 41 | "place the query at the beginning of the template and organize the textual relational paths in a reliabilityascending order, ensuring that the most reliable re- lational path is positioned at the end of the template. The final prompt can be denoted as: M(q;R(q,G)) = concat([ q;tPK;\u00b7\u00b7\u00b7;tP1]), (6) where P1is the most reliable path and PKis the K- th reliable path. This simple prompting strategy can significantly improve the response performance of LLM compared with placing the paths in a random", 42 | "or reliability ascending order in our experiments. 4.4 Discussion Complexity Analysis of Path Retrieval. After the i-th step of resource propagation, there are at most \u03b1i \u03b8nodes alive due to the decay penalty and early stopping. Hence the total number of nodes involved in this propagation is at mostP\u221e i=0\u03b1i/\u03b8=1 (1\u2212\u03b1)\u03b8. Thus the complexity of extracting candidate paths between all node pairs is O(N2 (1\u2212\u03b1)\u03b8). In our set- tings, the number of retrieved nodes N\u2208[10,60]", 43 | "is much less than the total number of nodes in the indexing graph |V| \u223c 104. Thus the time complex- ity is completely acceptable. Necessity of Path-based Prompting. Note that different retrieved paths may have shared nodes or edges. To reduce the prompt length, it is possible to flatten the paths and remove duplications as a set of nodes and edges. However, this conversion will lose the semantic relations between the two end- points of each path. We also validate the necessity", 44 | "of path-based prompting in the experiments. 5 Experiments We conduct extensive experiments to answer the following research questions ( RQs ):RQ1: How effective is our proposed PathRAG compared to the state-of-the-art baselines? RQ2: How do dif- ferent values of key hyperparameters influence the method\u2019s performance? RQ3: Has each compo- nent of our framework played its role effectively? RQ4: How much token cost does PathRAG re- quire to achieve the performance of other base-", 45 | "lines? RQ5: Do the RAG response and its evalua- tion of PathRAG offer some interpretability? 5.1 Experimental Setup 5.1.1 Datasets We follow the settings of LightRAG (Guo et al., 2024) and evaluate our model using the UltraDo- main benchmark (Qian et al., 2024).

Besides the four do- mains used in LightRAG\u2019s evaluation (Agriculture,", 51 | "Legal, Computer Science, and Mix), we extend two more domains (History and Biology), and con- sider six datasets in total. The token counts of the six datasets range from 600,000to5,000,000. We also follow the standardized process from GraphRAG and LightRAG for dataset preprocess- ing. Detailed information about the datasets can be found in the Appendix A. 5.1.2 Baselines We compare PathRAG with four state-of-the-art methods: NaiveRAG (Gao et al., 2023), HyDE", 52 | "(Gao et al., 2022b), GraphRAG (Edge et al., 2024), and LightRAG (Guo et al., 2024). These meth- ods cover cutting-edge text-based and graph-based RAG approaches. Detailed descriptions of the base- lines can be found in the Appendix B. 5.1.3 Implementation Details To ensure fairness and consistency across exper- iments, we uniformly use \u201cGPT-4o-mini\u201d for all LLM-related components across both the baseline methods and our approach. Also, the indexing graphs for different graph-based RAG methods", 53 | "are the same as GraphRAG (Edge et al., 2024). Retrieved edges that correspond to global key- words of LightRAG are placed after the query. For the key hyperparameters of PathRAG, the number of retrieval nodes Nis selected from {10,20,30,40,50,60}, the number of paths K is varied within {5,10,15,20,25}, the decay rate \u03b1is chosen from {0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0}, and thethreshold \u03b8is fixed as 0.05. 5.1.4 Evaluation Metrics Due to the absence of ground truth answers, we", 54 | "follow the LLM-based evaluation procedures as GraphRAG and LightRAG. Specifically, we uti- lize \u201cGPT-4o-mini\u201d to evaluate the generated an- swers across multiple dimensions. The evaluation dimensions are based on those from GraphRAG and LightRAG, including Comprehensiveness and Diversity, while also incorporating three new di- mensions from recent advances in LLM-based eval- uation (Chan et al., 2023), namely Logicality, Rel- evance, and Coherence.

From the dataset perspective, PathRAG has a win rate of 60.13% in Agriculture, 60.26% in CS and 59.02% in Mix on average. For the larger three datasets, PathRAG shows greater advantages, with an average win rate of 65.53% in Legal, 60.13% in History and 59.50% in Biol- ogy. This indicates that our proposed PathRAG effectively reduces the impact of irrelevant infor-", 61 | "mation when handling larger datasets, making it more aligned with real-world applications and of- fering stronger practical significance compared to existing RAG baselines. 5.3 Hyperparameter Analysis (RQ2) We adjust one hyperparameter at a time on the Legal dataset, and then calculate the win rates com- pared with LightRAG, the best baseline. Number of retrieved nodes ( N). As shown on the left side of Figure 3, we observe that as N increases, the average win rate gradually improves,", 62 | "peaking at N= 40 , followed by a slight decline. This is because the retrieved path information becomes increasingly sufficient as the number of nodes grows. However, as Ncontinues to increase, the retrieved nodes are less relevant to the question and negatively impact the performance. Number of retrieved paths ( K). As shown in the middle of Figure 3, we observe that as Kincreases, the average win rate reaches its peak at K= 15 . When K= 25 ,", 63 | "the average win rate drops, meaning that additionalretrieved paths can not bring further improvement to the model. In practice, larger datasets prefer larger values of K. Decay rate \u03b1. As shown on the right side of Figure 3, when \u03b1= 0.6, the pruning algorithm prioritizes shorter paths, resulting in an average win rate of only 0.57. As\u03b1increases, the average win rate peaks at 0.63when \u03b1= 0.8, but then begins to decline. At \u03b1= 1.0, where the decay rate is completely ignored, the average win rate", 64 | "significantly drops. This suggests that prioritizing shorter paths with a proper \u03b1serves as effective prior knowledge for the pruning process. 5.4 Ablation Study (RQ3) We conduct ablation experiments to validate the design of PathRAG. A detailed introduction to the variants can be found in Appendix D. Necessity of path ordering . We consider two different strategies to rank the retrieved paths in the prompt, namely random and hop-first. As shown in the Table 2, the average win rates of PathRAG", 65 | "compared to the random and hop-first variants are respectively 56.75% and 56.08%, indicating the necessity of path ordering in the prompts. Necessity of path-based prompting . While retrieval is conducted using paths, the retrieved in- formation in the prompts does not necessarily need to be organized in the same manner. To assess the necessity of path-based organization, we compare prompts structured by paths with those using a flat 7", 66 | "Table 3: Ablation study on the prompt format of PathRAG.Agriculture Legal History CS Biology Mix Flat Path-based Flat Path-based Flat Path-based Flat Path-based Flat Path-based Flat Path-based Comprehensiveness 45.60% 54.40% 39.52% 60.48% 48.80% 51.20% 41.13% 58.87% 45.53% 54.47% 49.59% 50.41% Diversity 44.72% 55.28% 41.94% 58.06% 39.52% 60.48% 40.80% 59.20% 44.35% 55.65% 43.09% 56.91% Logicality 46.40% 53.60% 37.19% 62.81% 45.53% 54.47% 43.55% 56.45% 47.97% 52.03% 41.94% 58.06%", 67 | "Relevance 39.52% 60.48% 44.72% 55.28% 48.39% 51.61% 44.35% 55.65% 47.58% 52.42% 44.80% 55.20% Coherence 41.13% 58.87% 39.20% 60.80% 45.60% 54.40% 46.34% 53.66% 44.72% 55.28% 42.28% 57.72% Figure 4: Case study comparing the answers generated by PathRAG and the best baseline LightRAG. organization. As shown in Table 3, path-based prompts achieve an average win rate of 56.14%, outperforming the flat format. In PathRAG, node and edge information within a path is inherently", 68 | "interconnected, and separating them can result in information loss. Therefore, after path retrieval, prompts should remain structured to preserve con- textual relationships and enhance answer quality. 5.5 Token Cost Analysis (RQ4) For a fair comparison focusing on token consump- tion, we also consider a lightweight version of PathRAG with N= 20 andK= 5, dubbed as PathRAG-lt. PathRAG-lt performs on par with LightRAG in overall performance, achieving an av-", 69 | "erage win rate of 50.69%. The average token con- sumptions per question for LightRAG, PathRAG and PathRAG-lt are 15,837,13,318and8,869, re- spectively. Hence PathRAG reduces 16% token cost with much better performance, and the corre- sponding monetary cost is only 0.002$ . PathRAG- lt reduces 44% tokens while maintaining com- parable performance to LightRAG. These results demonstrate the token efficiency of our method.5.6 Case Study (RQ5) To provide a more intuitive demonstration of the", 70 | "evaluation process, we present a case study from the Agriculture dataset. Given the same question, both LightRAG and PathRAG generate responses based on the retrieved text. The responses are then evaluated by GPT-4o-mini across five dimen- sions, with justifications provided, as shown in Fig- ure 4. We highlight the key points in the answers in bold, with LLM justification for winning judg- ments displayed in blue and losing judgments in purple. The case study demonstrates that our pro-", 71 | "posed PathRAG provides comprehensive support for answer generation, with clear advantages in all five dimensions. 6 Conclusion In this paper, we propose PathRAG, a novel graph- based RAG method that focuses on retrieving key relational paths from the indexing graph to alle- viate noise. PathRAG can efficiently identify key paths with a flow-based pruning algorithm, and ef- fectively generate answers with path-based LLM prompting. Experimental results demonstrate that", 72 | "PathRAG consistently outperforms baseline meth- ods on six datasets. In future work, we will opti- 8 mize the indexing graph construction process, and consider to collect more human-annotated datasets for graph-based RAG. It is also possible to explore other substructures besides paths. 7 Limitations This work focuses on how to retrieve relevant in- formation from an indexing graph for answering questions. For a fair comparison with previous methods, the indexing graph construction process", 73 | "is not explored. Also, we prioritize simplicity in our proposed PathRAG, and thus the path retrieval algorithm involves no deep neural networks or pa- rameter training, which may limit the performance. Besides, we follow the evaluation protocol of pre- vious graph-based RAG methods, and the metrics are relative rather than absolute. We will consider to collect more datasets and design new metrics for graph-based RAG in future work.
