This research evaluates Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) approaches by integrating Large Language Models with both text and knowledge graph (KG) representations derived from the GDELT dataset. Researchers constructed an ontology-based KG from GDELT, and two LLM-generated KGs from news articles, demonstrating that the ontology-based KG provided superior answers for aggregate queries, while traditional RAG and GraphRAG excelled at fine-grained, document-specific details.

Key insights

  • Ontology-based KGs, meticulously derived from structured data, offer a robust solution for answering complex, aggregate, and quantitative questions, surpassing text-based RAG.
  • Current LLM-generated KGs from unstructured text exhibit significant structural inconsistencies, poor ontological adherence, and entity resolution issues, limiting their utility for precise question-answering.
  • Automated subgraph retrieval techniques, such as G-Retriever, require further development to reliably extract comprehensive and accurate information from complex KGs.
