Researchers have developed CoAL-RAG, a novel retrieval-augmented generation method designed to handle the varying complexity of legal questions. This method employs a multi-dimensional evaluation system based on "question essence" and "retrieval consistency" to adaptively route retrieval strategies. By quantifying reasoning demand and analyzing discrepancies between semantic and keyword retrieval, CoAL-RAG selects the most appropriate strategy and filters contextual information for improved efficiency and answer quality. Experiments show CoAL-RAG significantly outperforms baseline models on both Chinese legal benchmarks like SocialLawQA and LawBench, and demonstrates strong cross-jurisdictional generalization on English datasets such as LexGLUE and CaseHold.
