• Abstract: Efficiently processing and interpreting network data is critical for the operation of increasingly complex networks. Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLM) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques have improved data processing in network management. However, existing RAG methods like VectorRAG and GraphRAG struggle with the complexity and implicit nature of semi-structured technical data, leading to inefficiencies in time, cost, and retrieval. This paper introduces FastRAG, a novel RAG approach designed for semi-structured data. FastRAG employs schema learning and script learning to extract and structure data without needing to submit entire data sources to an LLM. It integrates text search with knowledge graph (KG) querying to improve accuracy in retrieving context-rich information. Evaluation results demonstrate that FastRAG provides accurate question answering, while improving up to 90% in time and 85% in cost compared to GraphRAG.

  Contextualized Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (CG-RAG) is a novel framework that integrates sparse and dense retrieval signals within graph structures. First, we propose a contextual graph representation for citation graphs, effectively capturing both explicit and implicit connections within and across documents. Second, we introduce Lexical-Semantic Graph Retrieval (LeSeGR), which seamlessly integrates sparse and dense retrieval signals with graph encoding. Third, we present a context-aware generation strategy that utilizes the retrieved graph-structured information to generate precise and contextually enriched responses.

  Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a powerful technique that enhances downstream task execution by retrieving additional information. Graph, by its intrinsic "nodes connected by edges" nature, encodes massive heterogeneous and relational information. Unlike conventional RAG, the uniqueness of graph-structured data, such as diverse-formatted and domain-specific relational knowledge, poses unique and significant challenges when designing GraphRAG for different domains.
