Solving Context Loss Due to Chunking with Contextualized Embeddings


Summary

The video dives into the intricacies of data chunking, emphasizing its significance in preserving global and local context when dividing documents into smaller parts. It explains the concept of contextualized retrieval pre-processing and how it enhances creating context for these chunks. The discussion also touches on late chunking approaches, the contrast between interaction-based and encoder-based retrieval methods, and compares dense embedding models with contextualized chunk embeddings for improved retrieval accuracy. The practical implementation of data chunking using contextualized chunk embeddings in a Google Colab notebook is demonstrated, highlighting the importance of mastering data chunking techniques for optimal retrieval system design.
