Chunking Methods for RAG
📰 Medium · Python
Learn 7 chunking methods for RAG pipelines with real code and a retrieval benchmark to improve your retrieval performance
Action Steps
- Apply fixed-size chunking by slicing text every N characters using the `fixed_size_chunking` function
- Use sentence-based chunking with the `sentence_transformers` library to split text into individual sentences
- Implement sliding window chunking to generate overlapping chunks of text
- Utilize a library like `Docling` for PDF-to-text conversion and handle tables, headings, and paragraphs
- Evaluate the performance of different chunking methods using a retrieval benchmark
- Experiment with other chunking methods such as graph-based or semantic chunking
