Abstract

To address implicit semantic recognition difficulties, insufficient external knowledge support, and poor interpretability in sensitive information detection for large language models (LLMs) , this paper proposes a detection method based on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and external knowledge fusion. The method constructs a multi-source dynamic sensitive knowledge base from laws, industry standards, violation cases, and sensitive word graphs; designs an evidence-oriented RAG strategy combining fine-grained retrieval, multi-hop reasoning, noise filtering, and poisoning defense; and proposes an evidence-aware prompting mechanism that injects structured evidence into LLM reasoning, where LoRA fine-tuning upgrades detection from pattern matching to logical reasoning with traceable structured output. Experiments on four benchmark datasets show F1 scores of 88.76%–92.17%, significantly outperforming BM25, zero-shot LLMs, Naive RAG, and Graph RAG. These results indicate that fusing external knowledge with RAG effectively enhances recognition and interpretation of implicit sensitive semantics, offering a feasible path for LLM content safety governance.
