intermediate Published 8 May 2026
Action Steps
  1. Read the article on Medium to understand the limitations of fixed-size chunking
  2. Apply semantic chunking to your own NLP projects using Python libraries like spaCy or NLTK
  3. Configure your chunking algorithm to split documents based on semantic meaning rather than fixed sizes
  4. Test the performance of semantic chunking on your dataset and compare it to fixed-size chunking
  5. Use techniques like named entity recognition or part-of-speech tagging to inform your semantic chunking decisions
