This paper proposes GraphIC, a graph-based retrieval model that leverages reasoning-aware representation and specialized similarity metric for in-context example retrieval. Current methods use text embeddings to measure semantic similarity, which can introduce bias in multi-step reasoning tasks. GraphIC constructs thought graphs-directed, node-attributed graphs that explicitly model reasoning steps and their dependencies-for candidate examples and queries. This approach filters out superficial semantics while preserving essential reasoning processes. Next, GraphIC retrieves examples using a novel similarity metric tailored for these graphs, capturing sequential reasoning patterns and asymmetry between examples. The results show that GraphIC outperforms 10 baseline methods in comprehensive evaluations across mathematical reasoning, code generation, and logical reasoning tasks.

This paper helps make language models better by letting them learn from examples related to a specific task or problem. Right now, this process can be limited because the model doesn’t understand how the example relates to the task. The authors propose a new way of finding examples that takes into account how they are connected and what reasoning is required to solve the problem. This method is tested on different tasks like math problems, code writing, and logic puzzles, and it performs better than other methods.
