- Abstract: In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the field of natural language processing. However, they often suffer from knowledge gaps and hallucinations. Graph retrieval-augmented generation (GraphRAG) enhances LLM reasoning by integrating structured knowledge from external graphs. However, we identify two key challenges that plague GraphRAG:(1) Retrieving noisy and irrelevant information can degrade performance and (2)Excessive reliance on external knowledge suppresses the model's intrinsic reasoning. To address these issues, we propose GraphRAG-FI (Filtering and Integration), consisting of GraphRAG-Filtering and GraphRAG-Integration. GraphRAG-Filtering employs a two-stage filtering mechanism to refine retrieved information. GraphRAG-Integration employs a logits-based selection strategy to balance external knowledge from GraphRAG with the LLM's intrinsic reasoning,reducing over-reliance on retrievals. Experiments on knowledge graph QA tasks demonstrate that GraphRAG-FI significantly improves reasoning performance across multiple backbone models, establishing a more reliable and effective GraphRAG framework.
