Beyond Vector Search: Comparing Classical RAG with Hybrid GraphRAG for Climate Science Q\&A
AI InsightThis study proposes a hybrid architecture integrating vector search, GraphRAG, Leiden community detection, and cross-encoder re-ranking, achieving 160% gains in contextual relevance and 177% in contextual recall over classical RAG for climate science QA. This shows that unifying local text retrieval with global concept graphs significantly improves cross-document hierarchical knowledge answering.Key TakeawayCompared to classical RAG, hybrid GraphRAG achieves major gains in relevance and recall for climate QA.Why It MattersFirst empirical evidence that incorporating graph structure into RAG yields significant quantified gains in specialized scientific corpora, offering a new direction for complex-domain QA architectures.Who's Affected- AI ResearchersGet quantified benchmarks for hybrid retrieval in scientific QA, with reusable methodology.
- DevelopersCan adopt the hybrid architecture to build more effective RAG systems for cross-document relationships.
- Climate Science FieldImproved QA systems aid literature review and knowledge synthesis.
What's NextWatch for generalization across larger corpora and other scientific domains, and sensitivity of Leiden community detection on graph construction.Importance 65/100
