NeutronRAG: Towards Understanding the Effectiveness of RAG from a Data Retrieval Perspective

Summary: NeutronRAG is a data-retrieval–driven demonstration to understand RAG effectiveness across retrieval paradigms (VectorRAG, GraphRAG, HybridRAG). It offers hybrid retrieval, systematic analysis, visual feedback, and parameter-adjustment guidance for data-driven comparison of retrieval methods and settings.
