UnverifiedRelying solely on vector similarity retrieval often yields imprecise recall, necessitating a hybrid retrieval approach that combines keyword-based retrieval.75% similarUnverifiedVector retrieval is inherently weak at multi-hop reasoning; when an answer requires synthesizing scattered information fragments from multiple documents, pure similarity ranking often fails to retrieve all necessary context.74% similarUnverifiedRAG is essentially flat retrieval based on semantic similarity, good at finding content that 'sounds similar,' but struggles to capture causal chains, temporal dependencies, and hierarchical structures between pieces of information.68% similarUnverifiedVector retrieval can only answer what is similar to what, and cannot answer what is connected to what, why they are connected, or how they became connected.67% similar
