Efficient Retrieval-Augmented Generation via Token Co-occurrence Graphs

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) mitigates hallucinations in Large Language Models (LLMs) by grounding the generation process on external knowledge. However, standard RAG approaches struggle with multi-hop reasoning. While recent graph-based RAG methods improve the retrieval of interconnected chunks, they often rely on computationally expensive and error-prone LLM-based extraction pipelines. To address these issues, we propose TIGRAG (Token-Induced GraphRAG), an efficient graph-augmented RAG framework based on a token co-occurrence Knowledge Graph. TIGRAG directly models topological relationships between tokens using sliding-window co-occurrence statistics, thus enabling scalable graph construction. During inference, it combines graph-based semantic expansion and neural reranking to retrieve interconnected evidence for multi-hop reasoning. Specifically, it introduces an iterative entity-driven retrieval strategy that progressively expands the query using bridging entities extracted from previously retrieved contexts. We evaluated TIGRAG on three widely adopted multi-hop Question Answering (QA) benchmarks. Experimental results demonstrated that our framework consistently outperforms dense retrieval and graph-based RAG methods in both retrieval and downstream QA tasks, while substantially reducing indexing time, inference latency, and prompt footprint.
