Researchers have proposed a retrieval-enhanced generation framework called APT-RAG, aimed at addressing the issues of structural rigidity and neglect of evidence topology in existing structured methods in intensive question-answering tasks. This framework dynamically expands the reasoning structure based on question dependencies and evidence requirements, utilizing brother node evidence reuse, direct retrieval, and sub-node evidence aggregation to improve evidence coverage. Evidence-guided batch processing is also introduced to optimize generation efficiency. Experiments show that APT-RAG performs better than existing structured RAG methods in intensive question-answering benchmarks, and the related code has been made open-source.
