    GraphRAG is a structured, hierarchical approach to Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), as opposed to naive semantic-search approaches using plain text snippets. The GraphRAG process involves extracting a knowledge graph out of raw text, building a community hierarchy, generating summaries for these communities, and then leveraging these structures when perform RAG-based tasks.

    Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique to improve LLM outputs using real-world information. This technique is an important part of most LLM-based tools and the majority of RAG approaches use vector similarity as the search technique, which we call Baseline RAG. GraphRAG uses knowledge graphs to provide substantial improvements in question-and-answer performance when reasoning about complex information. RAG techniques have shown promise in helping LLMs to reason about private datasets - data that the LLM is not trained on and has never seen before, such as an enterprise\u2019s proprietary research, business documents, or communications. Baseline RAG was created to help solve this problem, but we observe situations where baseline RAG performs very poorly. For example:
     
       
    • Baseline RAG struggles to connect the dots. This happens when answering a question requires traversing disparate pieces of information through their shared attributes in order to provide new synthesized insights.
      •  
    • Baseline RAG performs poorly when being asked to holistically understand summarized semantic concepts over large data collections or even singular large documents.
      •  
     
    To address this, the tech community is working to develop methods that extend and enhance RAG. Microsoft Research\u2019s new approach, GraphRAG, uses LLMs to create a knowledge graph based on an input corpus. This graph, along with community summaries and graph machine learning outputs, are used to augment prompts at query time. GraphRAG shows substantial improvement in answering the two classes of questions described above, demonstrating intelligence or mastery that outperforms other approaches previously applied to private datasets.

      Now we need to set up a data project and some initial configuration. Let's set that up. We're using the default configuration mode, which you can customize as needed using a config file, which we recommend, or environment variables.
       
      First let's get a sample dataset ready:
       
      mkdir -p ./ragtest/input\n
       
      Now let's get a copy of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens from a trusted source
       
      curl https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/24022/pg24022.txt -o ./ragtest/input/book.txt\n
       
      Next we'll inject some required config variables:
      "}, {"location": "get_started/#set-up-your-workspace-variables", "title": "Set Up Your Workspace Variables", "text": "
      First let's make sure to setup the required environment variables. For details on these environment variables, and what environment variables are available, see the variables documentation.
       
      To initialize your workspace, first run the graphrag init command. Since we have already configured a directory named ./ragtest in the previous step, run the following command:
       
      graphrag init --root ./ragtest\n
       
      This will create two files: .env and settings.yaml in the ./ragtest directory.
       
         
      • .env contains the environment variables required to run the GraphRAG pipeline. If you inspect the file, you'll see a single environment variable defined,   GRAPHRAG_API_KEY=<API_KEY>. This is the API key for the OpenAI API or Azure OpenAI endpoint. You can replace this with your own API key. If you are using another form of authentication (i.e. managed identity), please delete this file.
        •  
      • settings.yaml contains the settings for the pipeline. You can modify this file to change the settings for the pipeline.

      "}, {"location": "get_started/#openai-and-azure-openai", "title": "OpenAI and Azure OpenAI", "text": "

      "}, {"location": "get_started/#azure-openai", "title": "Azure OpenAI", "text": "
      In addition, Azure OpenAI users should set the following variables in the settings.yaml file. To find the appropriate sections, just search for the llm: configuration, you should see two sections, one for the chat endpoint and one for the embeddings endpoint. Here is an example of how to configure the chat endpoint:
       
      type: azure_openai_chat # Or azure_openai_embedding for embeddings\napi_base: https://<instance>.openai.azure.com\napi_version: 2024-02-15-preview # You can customize this for other versions\ndeployment_name: <azure_model_deployment_name>\n

      Finally we'll run the pipeline!
       
      graphrag index --root ./ragtest\n
       
       
      This process will take some time to run. This depends on the size of your input data, what model you're using, and the text chunk size being used (these can be configured in your settings.yml file). Once the pipeline is complete, you should see a new folder called ./ragtest/output with a series of parquet files.

      graphrag query \\\n--root ./ragtest \\\n--method global \\\n--query \"What are the top themes in this story?\"\n
       
      Here is an example using Local search to ask a more specific question about a particular character:
       
      graphrag query \\\n--root ./ragtest \\\n--method local \\\n--query \"Who is Scrooge and what are his main relationships?\"\n
       
      Please refer to Query Engine docs for detailed information about how to leverage our Local and Global search mechanisms for extracting meaningful insights from data after the Indexer has wrapped up execution.

DataShaper is a data processing library that allows users to declaratively express data pipelines, schemas, and related assets using well-defined schemas. DataShaper has implementations in JavaScript and Python, and is designed to be extensible to other languages.
       
      One of the core resource types within DataShaper is a Workflow. Workflows are expressed as sequences of steps, which we call verbs. Each step has a verb name and a configuration object. In DataShaper, these verbs model relational concepts such as SELECT, DROP, JOIN, etc.. Each verb transforms an input data table, and that table is passed down the pipeline.

      GraphRAG's Indexing Pipeline implements a handful of custom verbs on top of the standard, relational verbs that our DataShaper library provides. These verbs give us the ability to augment text documents with rich, structured data using the power of LLMs such as GPT-4. We utilize these verbs in our standard workflow to extract entities, relationships, claims, community structures, and community reports and summaries. This behavior is customizable and can be extended to support many kinds of AI-based data enrichment and extraction tasks.

      Because of the complexity of our data indexing tasks, we needed to be able to express our data pipeline as series of multiple, interdependent workflows. In the GraphRAG Indexing Pipeline, each workflow may define dependencies on other workflows, effectively forming a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of workflows, which is then used to schedule processing.

      The primary unit of communication between workflows, and between workflow steps is an instance of pandas.DataFrame. Although side-effects are possible, our goal is to be data-centric and table-centric in our approach to data processing. This allows us to easily reason about our data, and to leverage the power of dataframe-based ecosystems. Our underlying dataframe technology may change over time, but our primary goal is to support the DataShaper workflow schema while retaining single-machine ease of use and developer ergonomics.

      The GraphRAG library was designed with LLM interactions in mind, and a common setback when working with LLM APIs is various errors due to network latency, throttling, etc.. Because of these potential error cases, we've added a cache layer around LLM interactions. When completion requests are made using the same input set (prompt and tuning parameters), we return a cached result if one exists. This allows our indexer to be more resilient to network issues, to act idempotently, and to provide a more efficient end-user experience.

      "}, {"location": "index/default_dataflow/#phase-1-compose-textunits", "title": "Phase 1: Compose TextUnits", "text": "
      The first phase of the default-configuration workflow is to transform input documents into TextUnits. A TextUnit is a chunk of text that is used for our graph extraction techniques. They are also used as source-references by extracted knowledge items in order to empower breadcrumbs and provenance by concepts back to their original source tex.
       
      The chunk size (counted in tokens), is user-configurable. By default this is set to 300 tokens, although we've had positive experience with 1200-token chunks using a single \"glean\" step. (A \"glean\" step is a follow-on extraction). Larger chunks result in lower-fidelity output and less meaningful reference texts; however, using larger chunks can result in much faster processing time.
       
      The group-by configuration is also user-configurable. By default, we align our chunks to document boundaries, meaning that there is a strict 1-to-many relationship between Documents and TextUnits. In rare cases, this can be turned into a many-to-many relationship. This is useful when the documents are very short and we need several of them to compose a meaningful analysis unit (e.g. Tweets or a chat log)
       
      Each of these text-units are text-embedded and passed into the next phase of the pipeline.
       
      ---\ntitle: Documents into Text Chunks\n---\nflowchart LR\n    doc1[Document 1] --> tu1[TextUnit 1]\n    doc1 --> tu2[TextUnit 2]\n    doc2[Document 2] --> tu3[TextUnit 3]\n    doc2 --> tu4[TextUnit 4]\n
      "}, {"location": "index/default_dataflow/#phase-2-graph-extraction", "title": "Phase 2: Graph Extraction", "text": "
      In this phase, we analyze each text unit and extract our graph primitives: Entities, Relationships, and Claims. Entities and Relationships are extracted at once in our entity_extract verb, and claims are extracted in our claim_extract verb. Results are then combined and passed into following phases of the pipeline.

      "}, {"location": "index/default_dataflow/#entity-relationship-extraction", "title": "Entity & Relationship Extraction", "text": "
      In this first step of graph extraction, we process each text-unit in order to extract entities and relationships out of the raw text using the LLM. The output of this step is a subgraph-per-TextUnit containing a list of entities with a name, type, and description, and a list of relationships with a source, target, and description.
       
      These subgraphs are merged together - any entities with the same name and type are merged by creating an array of their descriptions. Similarly, any relationships with the same source and target are merged by creating an array of their descriptions.
      "}, {"location": "index/default_dataflow/#entity-relationship-summarization", "title": "Entity & Relationship Summarization", "text": "
      Now that we have a graph of entities and relationships, each with a list of descriptions, we can summarize these lists into a single description per entity and relationship. This is done by asking the LLM for a short summary that captures all of the distinct information from each description. This allows all of our entities and relationships to have a single concise description.
      "}, {"location": "index/default_dataflow/#claim-extraction-emission", "title": "Claim Extraction & Emission", "text": "
      Finally, as an independent workflow, we extract claims from the source TextUnits. These claims represent positive factual statements with an evaluated status and time-bounds. These are emitted as a primary artifact called Covariates.
       
      Note: claim extraction is optional and turned off by default. This is because claim extraction generally needs prompt tuning to be useful.
      "}, {"location": "index/default_dataflow/#phase-3-graph-augmentation", "title": "Phase 3: Graph Augmentation", "text": "
      Now that we have a usable graph of entities and relationships, we want to understand their community structure and augment the graph with additional information. This is done in two steps: Community Detection and Graph Embedding. These give us explicit (communities) and implicit (embeddings) ways of understanding the topological structure of our graph.

      In this step, we generate a hierarchy of entity communities using the Hierarchical Leiden Algorithm.

      At this point, we have a functional graph of entities and relationships, a hierarchy of communities for the entities, as well as node2vec embeddings.
       
      Now we want to build on the communities data and generate reports for each community. This gives us a high-level understanding of the graph at several points of graph granularity. For example, if community A is the top-level community, we'll get a report about the entire graph. If the community is lower-level, we'll get a report about a local cluster.

      In this step, we generate a summary of each community using the LLM.

      The GraphRAG indexer, by default, will run with a handful of prompts that are designed to work well in the broad context of knowledge discovery. However, it is quite common to want to tune the prompts to better suit your specific use case. We provide a means for you to do this by allowing you to specify a custom prompt file, which will each use a series of token-replacements internally.
       
      Each of these prompts may be overridden by writing a custom prompt file in plaintext. We use token-replacements in the form of {token_name}, and the descriptions for the available tokens can be found below.

      GraphRAG is a technique that uses large language models (LLMs) to create knowledge graphs and summaries from unstructured text documents and leverages them to improve retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) operations on private datasets. It offers comprehensive global overviews of large, private troves of unstructured text documents while also enabling exploration of detailed, localized information. By using LLMs to create comprehensive knowledge graphs that connect and describe entities and relationships contained in those documents, GraphRAG leverages semantic structuring of the data to generate responses to a wide variety of complex user queries.
       
      DRIFT search (Dynamic Reasoning and Inference with Flexible Traversal) builds upon Microsoft\u2019s GraphRAG technique, combining characteristics of both global and local search to generate detailed responses in a method that balances computational costs with quality outcomes using our drift search method.

       Figure 1. An entire DRIFT search hierarchy highlighting the three core phases of the DRIFT search process. A (Primer): DRIFT compares the user\u2019s query with the top K most semantically relevant community reports, generating a broad initial answer and follow-up questions to steer further exploration. B (Follow-Up): DRIFT uses local search to refine queries, producing additional intermediate answers and follow-up questions that enhance specificity, guiding the engine towards context-rich information. A glyph on each node in the diagram shows the confidence the algorithm has to continue the query expansion step.  C (Output Hierarchy): The final output is a hierarchical structure of questions and answers ranked by relevance, reflecting a balanced mix of global insights and local refinements, making the results adaptable and comprehensive.
       
      DRIFT Search introduces a new approach to local search queries by including community information in the search process. This greatly expands the breadth of the query\u2019s starting point and leads to retrieval and usage of a far higher variety of facts in the final answer. This addition expands the GraphRAG query engine by providing a more comprehensive option for local search, which uses community insights to refine a query into detailed follow-up questions.

      Baseline RAG struggles with queries that require aggregation of information across the dataset to compose an answer. Queries such as \u201cWhat are the top 5 themes in the data?\u201d perform terribly because baseline RAG relies on a vector search of semantically similar text content within the dataset. There is nothing in the query to direct it to the correct information.
       
      However, with GraphRAG we can answer such questions, because the structure of the LLM-generated knowledge graph tells us about the structure (and thus themes) of the dataset as a whole. This allows the private dataset to be organized into meaningful semantic clusters that are pre-summarized. Using our global search method, the LLM uses these clusters to summarize these themes when responding to a user query.

      Given a user query and, optionally, the conversation history, the global search method uses a collection of LLM-generated community reports from a specified level of the graph's community hierarchy as context data to generate response in a map-reduce manner. At the map step, community reports are segmented into text chunks of pre-defined size. Each text chunk is then used to produce an intermediate response containing a list of point, each of which is accompanied by a numerical rating indicating the importance of the point. At the reduce step, a filtered set of the most important points from the intermediate responses are aggregated and used as the context to generate the final response. 
       
      The quality of the global search\u2019s response can be heavily influenced by the level of the community hierarchy chosen for sourcing community reports. Lower hierarchy levels, with their detailed reports, tend to yield more thorough responses, but may also increase the time and LLM resources needed to generate the final response due to the volume of reports.

These entities serve as access points into the knowledge graph, enabling the extraction of further relevant details such as connected entities, relationships, entity covariates, and community reports. Additionally, it also extracts relevant text chunks from the raw input documents that are associated with the identified entities.

      GraphRAG is a structured, hierarchical approach to Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), as opposed to naive semantic-search approaches using plain text snippets. The GraphRAG process involves extracting a knowledge graph out of raw text, building a community hierarchy, generating summaries for these communities, and then leveraging these structures when perform RAG-based tasks.

      Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique to improve LLM outputs using real-world information. This technique is an important part of most LLM-based tools and the majority of RAG approaches use vector similarity as the search technique, which we call Baseline RAG. GraphRAG uses knowledge graphs to provide substantial improvements in question-and-answer performance when reasoning about complex information. RAG techniques have shown promise in helping LLMs to reason about private datasets - data that the LLM is not trained on and has never seen before, such as an enterprise\u2019s proprietary research, business documents, or communications. Baseline RAG was created to help solve this problem, but we observe situations where baseline RAG performs very poorly. For example:
       
         
      • Baseline RAG struggles to connect the dots. This happens when answering a question requires traversing disparate pieces of information through their shared attributes in order to provide new synthesized insights.
        •  
      • Baseline RAG performs poorly when being asked to holistically understand summarized semantic concepts over large data collections or even singular large documents.
        •  
       
      To address this, the tech community is working to develop methods that extend and enhance RAG. Microsoft Research\u2019s new approach, GraphRAG, uses LLMs to create a knowledge graph based on an input corpus. This graph, along with community summaries and graph machine learning outputs, are used to augment prompts at query time. GraphRAG shows substantial improvement in answering the two classes of questions described above, demonstrating intelligence or mastery that outperforms other approaches previously applied to private datasets.

      • Slice up an input corpus into a series of TextUnits, which act as analyzable units for the rest of the process, and provide fine-grained references in our outputs.
        •  
      • Extract all entities, relationships, and key claims from the TextUnits using an LLM.
        •  
      • Perform a hierarchical clustering of the graph using the Leiden technique. To see this visually, check out Figure 1 above. Each circle is an entity (e.g., a person, place, or organization), with the size representing the degree of the entity, and the color representing its community.

      At query time, these structures are used to provide materials for the LLM context window when answering a question. The primary query modes are:
       
         
      • Global Search for reasoning about holistic questions about the corpus by leveraging the community summaries.
        •  
      • Local Search for reasoning about specific entities by fanning-out to their neighbors and associated concepts.

        Now we need to set up a data project and some initial configuration. Let's set that up. We're using the default configuration mode, which you can customize as needed using a config file, which we recommend, or environment variables.
         
        First let's get a sample dataset ready:
         
        mkdir -p ./ragtest/input\n

        First let's make sure to setup the required environment variables. For details on these environment variables, and what environment variables are available, see the variables documentation.
         
        To initialize your workspace, first run the graphrag init command. Since we have already configured a directory named ./ragtest in the previous step, run the following command:
         
        graphrag init --root ./ragtest\n
         
        This will create two files: .env and settings.yaml in the ./ragtest directory.
         
           
        • .env contains the environment variables required to run the GraphRAG pipeline. If you inspect the file, you'll see a single environment variable defined,   GRAPHRAG_API_KEY=<API_KEY>. This is the API key for the OpenAI API or Azure OpenAI endpoint. You can replace this with your own API key. If you are using another form of authentication (i.e. managed identity), please delete this file.

        In addition, Azure OpenAI users should set the following variables in the settings.yaml file.

Here is an example of how to configure the chat endpoint:

        The default configuration mode is the simplest way to get started with the GraphRAG system. It is designed to work out-of-the-box with minimal configuration. The primary configuration sections for the Indexing Engine pipelines are described below. The main ways to set up GraphRAG in Default Configuration mode are via:
         
           
        • Init command (recommended)
          •  
        • Using YAML for deeper control
          •  
        • Purely using environment variables
          •  
        "}, {"location": "config/yaml/", "title": "Default Configuration Mode (using YAML/JSON)", "text": "
        The default configuration mode may be configured by using a settings.yml or settings.json file in the data project root. If a .env file is present along with this config file, then it will be loaded, and the environment variables defined therein will be available for token replacements in your configuration document using ${ENV_VAR} syntax. We initialize with YML by default in graphrag init but you may use the equivalent JSON form if preferred.
         
        Many of these config values have defaults. Rather than replicate them here, please refer to the constants in the code directly.
         
        For example:
         
        # .env\nGRAPHRAG_API_KEY=some_api_key\n\n# settings.yml\nllm: \n  api_key: ${GRAPHRAG_API_KEY}\n

        In order to support the GraphRAG system, the outputs of the indexing engine (in the Default Configuration Mode) are aligned to a knowledge model we call the GraphRAG Knowledge Model. This model is designed to be an abstraction over the underlying data storage technology, and to provide a common interface for the GraphRAG system to interact with. In normal use-cases the outputs of the GraphRAG Indexer would be loaded into a database system, and the GraphRAG's Query Engine would interact with the database using the knowledge model data-store types.

        GraphRAG's Indexing Pipeline is built on top of our open-source library, DataShaper. DataShaper is a data processing library that allows users to declaratively express data pipelines, schemas, and related assets using well-defined schemas. DataShaper has implementations in JavaScript and Python, and is designed to be extensible to other languages.
         
        One of the core resource types within DataShaper is a Workflow. Workflows are expressed as sequences of steps, which we call verbs. Each step has a verb name and a configuration object. In DataShaper, these verbs model relational concepts such as SELECT, DROP, JOIN, etc.. Each verb transforms an input data table, and that table is passed down the pipeline.

        GraphRAG's Indexing Pipeline implements a handful of custom verbs on top of the standard, relational verbs that our DataShaper library provides. These verbs give us the ability to augment text documents with rich, structured data using the power of LLMs such as GPT-4. We utilize these verbs in our standard workflow to extract entities, relationships, claims, community structures, and community reports and summaries. This behavior is customizable and can be extended to support many kinds of AI-based data enrichment and extraction tasks.

        Because of the complexity of our data indexing tasks, we needed to be able to express our data pipeline as series of multiple, interdependent workflows.

        The primary unit of communication between workflows, and between workflow steps is an instance of pandas.DataFrame. Although side-effects are possible, our goal is to be data-centric and table-centric in our approach to data processing. This allows us to easily reason about our data, and to leverage the power of dataframe-based ecosystems. Our underlying dataframe technology may change over time, but our primary goal is to support the DataShaper workflow schema while retaining single-machine ease of use and developer ergonomics.

        The GraphRAG library was designed with LLM interactions in mind, and a common setback when working with LLM APIs is various errors due to network latency, throttling, etc.. Because of these potential error cases, we've added a cache layer around LLM interactions. When completion requests are made using the same input set (prompt and tuning parameters), we return a cached result if one exists. This allows our indexer to be more resilient to network issues, to act idempotently, and to provide a more efficient end-user experience.

        The first phase of the default-configuration workflow is to transform input documents into TextUnits. A TextUnit is a chunk of text that is used for our graph extraction techniques. They are also used as source-references by extracted knowledge items in order to empower breadcrumbs and provenance by concepts back to their original source tex.
         
        The chunk size (counted in tokens), is user-configurable. By default this is set to 300 tokens, although we've had positive experience with 1200-token chunks using a single \"glean\" step. (A \"glean\" step is a follow-on extraction). Larger chunks result in lower-fidelity output and less meaningful reference texts; however, using larger chunks can result in much faster processing time.
         
        The group-by configuration is also user-configurable. By default, we align our chunks to document boundaries, meaning that there is a strict 1-to-many relationship between Documents and TextUnits. In rare cases, this can be turned into a many-to-many relationship. This is useful when the documents are very short and we need several of them to compose a meaningful analysis unit (e.g. Tweets or a chat log)
         
        Each of these text-units are text-embedded and passed into the next phase of the pipeline.

        In this phase, we analyze each text unit and extract our graph primitives: Entities, Relationships, and Claims. Entities and Relationships are extracted at once in our entity_extract verb, and claims are extracted in our claim_extract verb. Results are then combined and passed into following phases of the pipeline.

        In this first step of graph extraction, we process each text-unit in order to extract entities and relationships out of the raw text using the LLM. The output of this step is a subgraph-per-TextUnit containing a list of entities with a name, type, and description, and a list of relationships with a source, target, and description.
         
        These subgraphs are merged together - any entities with the same name and type are merged by creating an array of their descriptions. Similarly, any relationships with the same source and target are merged by creating an array of their descriptions.

        Now that we have a graph of entities and relationships, each with a list of descriptions, we can summarize these lists into a single description per entity and relationship. This is done by asking the LLM for a short summary that captures all of the distinct information from each description.

        Now that we have a usable graph of entities and relationships, we want to understand their community structure and augment the graph with additional information. This is done in two steps: Community Detection and Graph Embedding. These give us explicit (communities) and implicit (embeddings) ways of understanding the topological structure of our graph.

        In this step, we generate a hierarchy of entity communities using the Hierarchical Leiden Algorithm.

        Now we want to build on the communities data and generate reports for each community. This gives us a high-level understanding of the graph at several points of graph granularity. For example, if community A is the top-level community, we'll get a report about the entire graph. If the community is lower-level, we'll get a report about a local cluster.

          •  
        • perform community detection in entities

        GraphRAG provides the ability to create domain adapted prompts for the generation of the knowledge graph. This step is optional, though it is highly encouraged to run it as it will yield better results when executing an Index Run.
         
        These are generated by loading the inputs, splitting them into chunks (text units) and then running a series of LLM invocations and template substitutions to generate the final prompts. We suggest using the default values provided by the script, but in this page you'll find the detail of each in case you want to further explore and tweak the prompt tuning algorithm.

        GraphRAG is a technique that uses large language models (LLMs) to create knowledge graphs and summaries from unstructured text documents and leverages them to improve retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) operations on private datasets. It offers comprehensive global overviews of large, private troves of unstructured text documents while also enabling exploration of detailed, localized information. By using LLMs to create comprehensive knowledge graphs that connect and describe entities and relationships contained in those documents, GraphRAG leverages semantic structuring of the data to generate responses to a wide variety of complex user queries.
         
        DRIFT search (Dynamic Reasoning and Inference with Flexible Traversal) builds upon Microsoft\u2019s GraphRAG technique, combining characteristics of both global and local search to generate detailed responses in a method that balances computational costs with quality outcomes using our drift search method.

         Figure 1. An entire DRIFT search hierarchy highlighting the three core phases of the DRIFT search process. A (Primer): DRIFT compares the user\u2019s query with the top K most semantically relevant community reports, generating a broad initial answer and follow-up questions to steer further exploration. B (Follow-Up): DRIFT uses local search to refine queries, producing additional intermediate answers and follow-up questions that enhance specificity, guiding the engine towards context-rich information. A glyph on each node in the diagram shows the confidence the algorithm has to continue the query expansion step.  C (Output Hierarchy): The final output is a hierarchical structure of questions and answers ranked by relevance, reflecting a balanced mix of global insights and local refinements, making the results adaptable and comprehensive.
         
        DRIFT Search introduces a new approach to local search queries by including community information in the search process. This greatly expands the breadth of the query\u2019s starting point and leads to retrieval and usage of a far higher variety of facts in the final answer. This addition expands the GraphRAG query engine by providing a more comprehensive option for local search, which uses community insights to refine a query into detailed follow-up questions.

        Baseline RAG struggles with queries that require aggregation of information across the dataset to compose an answer. Queries such as \u201cWhat are the top 5 themes in the data?\u201d perform terribly because baseline RAG relies on a vector search of semantically similar text content within the dataset. There is nothing in the query to direct it to the correct information.
         
        However, with GraphRAG we can answer such questions, because the structure of the LLM-generated knowledge graph tells us about the structure (and thus themes) of the dataset as a whole. This allows the private dataset to be organized into meaningful semantic clusters that are pre-summarized. Using our global search method, the LLM uses these clusters to summarize these themes when responding to a user query.

        Given a user query and, optionally, the conversation history, the global search method uses a collection of LLM-generated community reports from a specified level of the graph's community hierarchy as context data to generate response in a map-reduce manner. At the map step, community reports are segmented into text chunks of pre-defined size. Each text chunk is then used to produce an intermediate response containing a list of point, each of which is accompanied by a numerical rating indicating the importance of the point. At the reduce step, a filtered set of the most important points from the intermediate responses are aggregated and used as the context to generate the final response. 
         
        The quality of the global search\u2019s response can be heavily influenced by the level of the community hierarchy chosen for sourcing community reports. Lower hierarchy levels, with their detailed reports, tend to yield more thorough responses, but may also increase the time and LLM resources needed to generate the final response due to the volume of reports.

Additionally, it also extracts relevant text chunks from the raw input documents that are associated with the identified entities.
