Researchers have developed a new method called PhaseGraph to improve multi-hop question answering by better integrating graph-based relevance signals with vector similarity scores. This technique addresses the challenge of combining scores from different distributions by mapping them to a common scale using percentile-rank normalization before fusion. Experiments on the MuSiQue and 2WikiMultiHopQA benchmarks showed that this calibrated fusion approach led to a modest but statistically significant improvement in retrieval accuracy. AI
