Abstract

Retrieval-augmented generation is intensively studied to ground large language models on external evidence. However, retrieving from a unified knowledge base could inevitably introduce irrelevant information that may mislead generation for complex reasoning. Inspired by the conditional computation of mixture of experts (MoE), where a router sparsely selects specialized experts alongside shared ones for each input, we propose Mixture of experts for Graph-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation, i.e., MoG. It organizes knowledge into two core components: (i) diverse, always-accessible hub graphs that encode semantically and structurally central knowledge and provide contextual clues for expert activation, and (ii) sparsely activated expert graphs that contain domain-specific evidence. MoG first accesses hub graphs to identify general evidence and derive contextual clues. Then, a topology-aware router dynamically activates a limited set of expert graphs conditioned on the query, thereby confining retrieval to a focused evidence subspace. Extensive experiments on challenging benchmarks show that MoG consistently outperforms strong baselines, with over 20\% relative improvement on MuSiQue.
