AT-RAG: An Adaptive RAG Model Enhancing Query Efficiency with Topic Filtering and Iterative Reasoning
Mohammad Reza Rezaei, Maziar Hafezi, Amit Satpathy, Lovell Hodge, Ebrahim Pourjafari
Recent advancements in QA with LLM, like GPT-4, have shown limitations in handling complex multi-hop queries. We propose AT-RAG, a novel multistep RAG incorporating topic modeling for efficient document retrieval and reasoning. Using BERTopic, our model dynamically assigns topics to queries, improving retrieval accuracy and efficiency. We evaluated AT-RAG on multihop benchmark datasets QA and a medical case study QA. Results show significant improvements in correctness, completeness, and relevance compared to existing methods. AT-RAG reduces retrieval time while maintaining high precision, making it suitable for general tasks QA and complex domain-specific challenges such as medical QA. The integration of topic filtering and iterative reasoning enables our model to handle intricate queries efficiently, which makes it suitable for applications that require nuanced information retrieval and decision-making.
