Recursive Splitting
A RAG text chunking strategy that attempts larger boundaries (such as paragraphs) first in hierarchical order and falls back to smaller units for splitting when that fails.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Recursive splitting first tries larger boundaries such as paragraphs, and if that fails falls back to smaller units; it is simple to run and requires no additional model to decide split points, making it suitable as a baseline method for documents with inconsistent formatting.
According to a research report by Chroma, a well-configured recursive splitter performed competitively in its evaluation.
