Title:HyGRL: Adaptive Hybrid Graph Reasoning for Multi-Entity Questions

Abstract:Multi-entity compositional questions pose significant challenges to existing retrieval-augmented language models. Conventional methods fall into a dilemma: standard RAG lacks dynamic reasoning, traditional Graph-RAG is limited by structural sparsity, and LLM-constructed Graph-RAG incurs prohibitive costs. We propose \textbf{\fwa}, a unified framework that embeds unstructured text into structured knowledge graphs, creating a heterogeneous network for flexible evidence retrieval. Reasoning is formulated as adaptive structure induction, learned via a robust two-stage process: (1) imitation learning distills heuristic expert signals, and (2) reinforcement learning refines the policy using LLM-driven preference rewards. Experiments demonstrate that {\fwa} effectively merges textual richness with structural knowledge, outperforming SOTA baselines in answer accuracy and reasoning fidelity while maintaining extremely low token costs and near real-time inference((code available at this https URL) .
