Semantic Chunking: Preserve Context & Clarity

Introduction

Ever feel like your AI assistant mangles answers because it cuts your documents at arbitrary points? Semantic chunking fixes that by splitting on real boundaries—paragraphs, headings, numbered sections—so each chunk contains a complete thought and your RAG pipeline stays razor-sharp.

Key Strengths of Semantic Chunking

• Coherent Context: Each chunk aligns with a natural unit (e.g. a paragraph or subsection), dramatically reducing incomplete fragments and AI hallucinations.

• Metadata Filtering: By tagging chunks with their section titles (like “Methods” or “Summary”), you can target retrieval to exactly the content you need.

• Adaptive Size: Chunks vary in length based on content density, giving your model just-right amounts of text—no padding waste, no missing nuance.

  
  

Limitations & Workflow Integration

• Inconsistent Formatting: Irregular or missing headings can throw off automatic splitters.

• Oversized Sections: Very long chapters may exceed model context windows unless further subdivided.

• Tiny Fragments: Single-sentence paragraphs can bloat your index with low-value vectors.
How Singularity Solves It: We enforce consistent formatting in our Operations Manual—proper H1/H2 headers and numbered sections—then split on those markers, capping chunks at 500 tokens with 15% overlap. Integrated into our CI/CD pipeline, this ensures every update produces clean, searchable embeddings, and every AI response is human-verified for clarity.
