LightRAG is a research-backed RAG framework from Hong Kong University that combines knowledge graph structures with vector search for more contextual retrieval. Published at EMNLP 2025, it extracts entities and relationships from documents to build a structured knowledge graph, then uses dual-level retrieval across both graph and vector representations with five query modes: naive, local, global, hybrid, and mix.
