Their domain knowledge is shallow, they struggle with long chains of rule-bound reasoning, and they misread terms whose meaning depends on context. Fine-tuning on domain data can introduce hallucinations and catastrophic forgetting. Classic RAG avoids… 2. **[FaithfulRAG: Fact-Level Conflict Modeling for Context-Faithful Retrieval-Augmented Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2025-faithfulrag-fact-level-conflict-modeling/)** *(2025 · 27 citations)* Retrieval-augmented LLMs often fail to stay faithful to retrieved passages when those passages contradict what the model learned during pre-training. 3. **[You Don't Need Pre-built Graphs for RAG: Retrieval Augmented Generation with Adaptive Reasoning Structures](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/chen-2025-don-t-need-pre-built/)** *(2025 · 9 citations)* Graph-based RAG systems such as Microsoft GraphRAG, HippoRAG, RAPTOR, LightRAG and KGP first convert the entire corpus into a graph. 4. **[LogicPoison: Logical Attacks on Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xiao-2026-logicpoison-logical-attacks-graph-retrieval/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* GraphRAG systems answer questions by reasoning over a knowledge graph built from a text corpus. They tend to resist classic RAG attacks for three reasons: injected documents end up isolated in the graph, embedded instructions are lost when text becomes entity–relation structures, and redundant paths compensate for… 5. **[Collision to Cognition: Hash-Driven Graph Construction for Efficient RAG](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhou-2026-collision-cognition-hash-driven-graph/)** *(2026)* GraphRAG systems handle multi-hop questions better than flat dense retrieval, but building their graphs is costly. 6. **[Query-Aware Knowledge Retrieval via Hyperbolic Structuring](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhou-2026-query-aware-knowledge-retrieval-hyperbolic/)** *(2026)* Graph-based retrieval-augmented generation (GraphRAG) usually builds one fixed graph over a corpus, using heuristics like entity co-occurrence or clustering. ## Co-authors here 12 of 18 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Chuang Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chuang-zhou/) ×5 - [Xiao Xia Huang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiao-xia-huang/) ×5 - [Qinggang Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qinggang-zhang/) ×4 - [Junnan Dong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/junnan-dong/) ×3 - [Shengyuan Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shengyuan-chen/) ×3 - [Zheng Yuan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zheng-yuan/) ×3 - [di Yin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/di-yin/) ×2 - [Hao Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hao-chen/) ×2 - [Xing Sun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xing-sun/) ×2 - [Zhaozhuo Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhaozhuo-xu/) ×2 - [Huachi Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/huachi-zhou/) - [Jinsong Su](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jinsong-su/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/) ×4: [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) ×3, [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 70 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [19 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yilin-xiao/cited-by/).
