Researchers propose Uncertainty-aware Multi-Granularity RAG (UMG-RAG), a training-free hybrid retrieval framework that addresses the tension between large and fine-grained retrieval chunks in RAG pipelines. The system converts dense and sparse retriever scores across multiple chunk granularities into evidence distributions, estimates reliability via entropy, and fuses candidates using query-specific confidence signals. A variant called UMGP-RAG uses fine-grained hits to locate evidence while returning broader parent chunks for coherence. Experiments on QA benchmarks show improved generation quality with no changes to the underlying retriever or generator.
