The difference between Query Fan-out and traditional query rewriting and query expansion is that the latter two generally still revolve around a single retrieval intent, whereas fan-out breaks a question into multiple mutually independent sub-queries executed separately, retrieving from different data sources and then integrating the results.

UnverifiedQuery fan-out refers to an LLM automatically generating multiple sub-queries when processing a user's question, retrieving information from different dimensions separately, and finally synthesizing them into an answer.79% similarUnverifiedQuery expansion, HyDE, and spelling normalization are often more effective on the query side than swapping the embedding model.67% similarUnverifiedQuery Rewriting solves the problem of users' questions being colloquial and having unclear references, and common methods include using a large model to rewrite the question into a formulation more conducive to retrieval, expanding a single-turn question into multiple related sub-questions, and completing the context based on historical conversation.65% similarUnverifiedA method for choosing tracking prompts from the Fan-out perspective: start from buyer questions (10 to 15 initially), expand each question into sub-queries (the five dimensions of attributes, comparisons, evidence, use cases, and constraints), turn quality sub-queries into natural-language prompts, group them by category, and fix the list for continuous tracking.60% similarUnverifiedProduction-grade multi-knowledge-base RAG systems will most likely require a hybrid architecture that dynamically adjusts based on query type: routing for queries with clear attribution and falling back to broader retrieval for cross-domain queries.56% similar
