Evaluation of chunking and storing strategies for increased Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) accuracy
Long context windows in Large Language Models are computationally expensive, and suboptimal context retrieval in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) produces inaccurate responses or hallucinations. To address this issue, this research proposes a data-backed decision flow for choosing optimal chunking strategies based on the specific domain corpus being ingested for chunking. This approach will evaluate various strategies, to illustrate; the individual functionality, advantages, disadvantages, and limitations. Conclusively, this framework will facilitate engineers to select the most efficient and accurate chunking strategy for their specific RAG implementation, with the aim of maximizing overall performance, whilst minimizing computational resources utilized.
