Title: Adaptive Chunking: Optimizing Chunking-Method Selection for RAG

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.25333v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The effectiveness of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is highly dependent on how documents are chunked, that is, segmented into smaller units for indexing and retrieval. Yet, commonly used "one-size-fits-all" approaches often fail to capture the nuanced structure and semantics of diverse texts. Despite its central role, chunking lacks a dedicated evaluation framework, making it difficult to assess and compare strategies independently of downs
