Title: DOTRAG: Retrieval-Time Reasoning Along Paths

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.18760v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) is dominated by a retrieve-then-reason paradigm, where context is retrieved using heuristics and then reasoned over. Such methods struggle to adapt to the query-specific logic required for complex multi-hop tasks, often accumulating irrelevant context or missing correct relational paths. We propose DotRAG, a training-free GraphRAG framework that reformulates retrieval as a reasoning process over pat
