Any comparison with graphrag?

[zsz00]

How much better is HippoRAG than graphrag ?

[yhshu]

To compare GraphRAG and HippoRAG, the same point is extracting knowledge graphs from texts. The graph is used to correlate the whole corpus.
The differences include:

I run some experiments using GPT-3.5-turbo as the base model on HippoRAG datasets (not a part of HippoRAG paper) and get some results:

QA on our dataset(EM / F1)	MuSiQue	2Wiki
Colbert v2 retrieval	0.155 / 0.264	0.334 / 0.433
GraphRAG	0.164 / 0.296	0.349 / 0.443
HippoRAG (Colbert v2)	0.192 / 0.298	0.466 / 0.595

This is for multi-hop QA task that we've done in the paper. But other levels of performance may need more discussion and evaluation. We welcome more discussion about HippoRAG and what can be improved.

this is super interesting. can you please share your graphrag setup?

Using GPT-3.5-turbo as the LLM, and OpenAI text-embedding-3 small. The others should be the default values.
