SRAG: RAG With Structured Data Improves Vector Retrieval

Abstract

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) provides the necessary informational grounding to LLMs in the form of chunks retrieved from a vector database or through web search. RAG could also use knowledge graph triples as a means of providing factual information to an LLM. However, the retrieval is only based on representational similarity between a question and the contents. The performance of RAG depends on the numeric vector representations of the query and the chunks. To improve these representations, we propose Structured RAG (SRAG), which adds structured information to a query as well as the chunks in the form of topics, sentiments, query and chunk types (e.g., informational, quantitative), knowledge graph triples and semantic tags. Experiments indicate that this method significantly improves the retrieval process. Using GPT-5 as an LLM-as-a-judge, results show that the method improves the score given to answers in a question answering system by 30% (p-value = 2e-13) (with tighter boun
