To get your RAG system to handle user queries better, you need a chunking method that's a good fit for your data. Some widely used chunking algorithms are **rule-based** - e.g., fixed character splitter, recursive character splitter, document-specific splitter, among others. But in some real-world applications, rule-based methods have trouble. If, for example, your dataset has multi-topic documents, rule-based splitting algorithms can result in incomplete contexts or noise-filled chunks. **Semantic chunking**, on the other hand - because it divides text on the basis of meaning rather than rules - creates chunks that are semantically independent and cohesive, and therefore results in more effective text processing and information retrieval.
