by Microsoft Research · open-source · Last verified 2026-03-17
Presents GraphRAG, which uses LLM-generated knowledge graphs and community detection to enable query-focused summarization over entire text corpora. Unlike standard RAG which answers local questions from text chunks, GraphRAG enables global sensemaking queries by reasoning over interconnected entity communities at multiple granularities.
