#1 MES-RAG: Bringing Multi-modal, Entity-Storage, and Secure Enhancements to RAG [PDF5] [Copy] [Kimi5] [REL]

Authors: Pingyu Wu, Daiheng Gao, Jing Tang, Huimin Chen, Wenbo Zhou, Weiming Zhang, Nenghai Yu

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) improves Large Language Models (LLMs) by using external knowledge, but it struggles with precise entity information retrieval. Our proposed **MES-RAG** framework enhances entity-specific query handling and provides accurate, secure, and consistent responses. MES-RAG introduces proactive security measures that ensure system integrity by applying protections prior to data access. Additionally, the system supports real-time multi-modal outputs, including text, images, audio, and video, seamlessly integrating into existing RAG architectures. Experimental results demonstrate that MES-RAG significantly improves both accuracy and recall, highlighting its effectiveness in advancing the security and utility of question-answering, increasing accuracy to **0.83 (+0.25)** on targeted task. Our code and data are available at https://github.com/wpydcr/MES-RAG.
