Useful idea applying PageRank to graph retrieval
From 2 comments
Super interesting, thanks for sharing. How large a corpus of domain specific text do you need to obtain a useful knowledge graph? Aider has been doing PageRank on the call graph…
anotherpaulg on HNCool idea. IMHO traditional information retrieval is the way to go with RAG. Vector search is nice but also slow and expensive and people seem to use it as magic pixie dust. It…

Documentation in README is thin on how it works
From 2 comments
Wonder why this all - here on HN - is not part of the readme .md which says absolutely nothing about how and why this all would work. The whole approach to representing the work,…

Benchmark results on multi-hop retrieval datasets
From 2 comments
Do you have any retrieval and generation metric scores (eg, KILT or NQ datasets)? I know benchmark datasets are not the be-all-end-all, but a halfway decent score and…
gillesjacobs on HNThanks for releasing this! Have you gotten a chance to run any multi-hop retrieval benchmarks? It would be very useful to be able to compare this method to other establishes RAG…

How well does it answer broad questions
From 1 comment
How is it at answering broad questions? Communities and clustering were specifically for that purpose of agglomerating, right?

Can it be used with LLMs other than OpenAI

Can this be used with LLMs other than the OpenAI API?

LLMs are only used to construct the graph, to navigate it we use an algorithmic approach. As of now, what we do is very similar to HippoRAG…
