Overview

  • MoC is a text chunking system for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
  • Uses multiple specialized chunkers instead of one general approach
  • Improves retrieval performance by 6-12% over baseline methods
  • Works by learning when to segment text based on content boundaries
  • Combines specialized chunkers through a gating network
  • Eliminates manual rule-setting for text chunking
  • Demonstrates effectiveness across multiple datasets

Plain English Explanation

Most AI systems that use external knowledge (known as RAG systems) face a fundamental problem: how to break documents into smaller pieces. Think of it like cutting a book into meaningful chapters...
