Beyond the Prompt: Why Chunking is Generative AI’s Unsung Hero

Image description

Introduction

In the rapidly evolving landscape of generative AI, particularly with the rise of powerful Large Language Models (LLMs), the ability to process and understand vast amounts of information is paramount. However, even the most advanced LLMs have inherent limitations, primarily a “context window” that defines how much text they can consider at any given time. This is where the strategic art of “chunking” comes into play.

Chunking, in essence, is the process of intelligently breaking down large bodies of text — whether it’s a sprawling legal document, a comprehensive research paper, or an entire book — into smaller, manageable segments. This seemingly simple preprocessing step is absolutely crucial for empowering generative AI models, especially in architectures like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). By segmenting information into digestible chunks, we overcome the limitations of context windows, ensure that the LLM receives only the most relevant information for a given query, and ultimately unlock smarter, more accurate, and contextually rich responses.

Once a large document, like a bid proposal, has been broken down into smaller, manageable chunks using various chunking strategies, the next crucial step in integrating this content with generative AI involves a process called embedding. Each of these individual chunks, often along with its associated metadata (such as the source document name, section title, page range, and a unique chunk ID), is fed into an Embedding Model. This model transforms the text content into a high-dimensional numerical vector, or “embedding,” which captures the semantic meaning of the chunk. These numerical embeddings are then systematically stored in a Vector Database. When a user poses a query to the generative AI system, that query is also converted into an embedding by the same model. The vector database then efficiently performs a similarity search, identifying and retrieving the chunk embeddings that are most semantically relevant to the user’s query. These retrieved, highly relevant chunks of text are then provided as contextual information to the Large Language Model (LLM), enabling it to generate a more accurate, informed, and contextually appropriate response.

Using Docling chunking capacities

Docling is an open-source project designed to streamline the process of transforming complex documents into a format optimized for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and other generative AI applications. Based on the provided examples for hybrid and advanced chunking, here are the key advantages of using Docling:

  • Hybrid Chunking for Contextual Richness: Docling excels at hybrid chunking, which goes beyond simple fixed-size or character-based splitting. It combines document-based hierarchical chunking (e.g., by sections, paragraphs) with tokenization-aware refinements. This ensures that chunks are not only of appropriate size but also maintain strong semantic coherence and preserve crucial context, which is vital for an LLM to generate accurate and relevant responses.
  • Tokenizer Alignment for RAG Accuracy: A critical advantage highlighted is the ability to align the chunker with the embedding model’s tokenizer. Docling allows you to parametrize tokenization using popular libraries like HuggingFace Transformers or OpenAI tokenizers. This alignment is paramount in RAG systems, as it ensures that the way text is broken down for embedding precisely matches how the embedding model understands and vectorizes the text, leading to more accurate retrieval of relevant information.
  • Advanced Serialization for Diverse Content: Docling offers sophisticated serialization strategies for various content types within documents, such as tables and pictures.
  • Table Serialization: It provides control over how tables are converted into text, allowing for options like default serialization or converting tables into Markdown format. This is crucial because tables, when not properly serialized, can lose their structural meaning and negatively impact retrieval.
  • Picture Serialization: Docling supports modifying parameters for picture placeholders and even implementing custom strategies that leverage picture annotations. This means that visual information isn’t just discarded but can be converted into meaningful text descriptions that the LLM can process, enriching the overall context.
  • Customization and Flexibility: The examples demonstrate a high degree of customization and flexibility. Users can define and configure different chunking and serialization strategies based on their specific document types and the requirements of their generative AI application. This adaptability ensures that Docling can handle a wide variety of unstructured and semi-structured documents effectively.
  • Preparation for AI Development Frameworks: Docling is designed with AI development frameworks in mind, particularly for RAG. By providing well-chunked and serialized content, it significantly simplifies the data preparation phase, making it easier for developers to build robust RAG pipelines and leverage existing AI models for improved generative capabilities. In summary, Docling offers a powerful, open-source solution for the complex challenge of document chunking in the era of generative AI. Its focus on contextual preservation through hybrid chunking, tokenizer alignment, and advanced serialization for diverse content types directly addresses the critical needs for building effective and accurate RAG systems.

Chunking examples (out-of-the-box provided samples)

Docling stands out by offering a suite of readily available, “out-of-the-box” sample implementations that demonstrate its robust chunking and serialization capabilities. These samples, such as those showcasing hybrid chunking and advanced content serialization for elements like tables and images, serve as practical blueprints. They illustrate not only how to effectively prepare complex documents for generative AI but also the tangible results of such preparation — namely, semantically coherent chunks and enriched metadata that significantly enhance the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. These proven examples translate directly into real-world use-cases: imagine a legal firm leveraging Docling to transform massive case files into digestible chunks for an AI assistant to quickly answer attorney queries, or a manufacturing company feeding detailed technical manuals into a RAG system to enable technicians to get immediate, precise instructions from an AI chatbot. By providing these concrete, high-quality samples, Docling drastically reduces the barrier to entry, allowing developers and organizations to rapidly prototype and deploy AI solutions that derive accurate and valuable insights from their proprietary documents.

Hybrid Chunking


# Hybrid chunking

## Overview


#Hybrid chunking applies tokenization-aware refinements on top of document-based hierarchical chunking.

#For more details, see [here](../../concepts/chunking#hybrid-chunker).


## Setup



%pip install -qU pip docling transformers

DOC_SOURCE = "./input/charles-v-quint-en.md"

## Basic usage

#We first convert the document:


from docling.document_converter import DocumentConverter

doc = DocumentConverter().convert(source=DOC_SOURCE).document


#For a basic chunking scenario, we can just instantiate a `HybridChunker`, which will use
the default parameters.



from docling.chunking import HybridChunker

chunker = HybridChunker()
chunk_iter = chunker.chunk(dl_doc=doc)



  #  tokenizer_config.json:   0%|          | 0.00/350 [00:00<?, ?B/s]



  #  vocab.txt:   0%|          | 0.00/232k [00:00<?, ?B/s]



   # tokenizer.json:   0%|          | 0.00/466k [00:00<?, ?B/s]



   # special_tokens_map.json:   0%|          | 0.00/112 [00:00<?, ?B/s]



   # sentence_bert_config.json:   0%|          | 0.00/53.0 [00:00<?, ?B/s]


#    Token indices sequence length is longer than the specified maximum sequence length for this model (676 > 512). Running this sequence through the model will result in indexing errors


> 👉 **NOTE**: As you see above, using the `HybridChunker` can sometimes lead to a warning from the transformers library, however this is a "false alarm"  for details check [here](https://docling-project.github.io/docling/faq/#hybridchunker-triggers-warning-token-indices-sequence-length-is-longer-than-the-specified-maximum-sequence-length-for-this-model).

Note that the text you would typically want to embed is the context-enriched one as
returned by the `contextualize()` method:



for i, chunk in enumerate(chunk_iter):
    print(f"=== {i} ===")
    print(f"chunk.text:\n{f'{chunk.text[:300]}'!r}")

    enriched_text = chunker.contextualize(chunk=chunk)
    print(f"chunker.contextualize(chunk):\n{f'{enriched_text[:300]}'!r}")

    print()

## Configuring tokenization

For more control on the chunking, we can parametrize tokenization as shown below.

In a RAG / retrieval context, it is important to make sure that the chunker and
embedding model are using the same tokenizer.

👉 HuggingFace transformers tokenizers can be used as shown in the following example:



from docling_core.transforms.chunker.tokenizer.huggingface import HuggingFaceTokenizer
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

from docling.chunking import HybridChunker

EMBED_MODEL_ID = "sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2"
MAX_TOKENS = 64  # set to a small number for illustrative purposes

tokenizer = HuggingFaceTokenizer(
    tokenizer=AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(EMBED_MODEL_ID),
    max_tokens=MAX_TOKENS,  # optional, by default derived from `tokenizer` for HF case
)



#👉 Alternatively, [OpenAI tokenizers](https://github.com/openai/tiktoken) can be used as shown in the example below (uncomment to use — requires installing `docling-core[chunking-openai]`):



 import tiktoken

 from docling_core.transforms.chunker.tokenizer.openai import OpenAITokenizer

 tokenizer = OpenAITokenizer(
     tokenizer=tiktoken.encoding_for_model("gpt-4o"),
     max_tokens=128 * 1024,  # context window length required for OpenAI tokenizers
# )


# We can now instantiate our chunker:


chunker = HybridChunker(
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
    merge_peers=True,  # optional, defaults to True
)
chunk_iter = chunker.chunk(dl_doc=doc)
chunks = list(chunk_iter)


#    Token indices sequence length is longer than the specified maximum sequence length for this model (676 > 512). Running this sequence through the model will result in indexing errors


#Points to notice looking at the output chunks below:
#- Where possible, we fit the limit of 64 tokens for the metadata-enriched serialization form (see chunk 2)
#- Where needed, we stop before the limit, e.g. see cases of 63 as it would otherwise run into a comma (see chunk 6)
#- Where possible, we merge undersized peer chunks (see chunk 0)
#- "Tail" chunks trailing right after merges may still be undersized (see chunk 8)



for i, chunk in enumerate(chunks):
    print(f"=== {i} ===")
    txt_tokens = tokenizer.count_tokens(chunk.text)
    print(f"chunk.text ({txt_tokens} tokens):\n{chunk.text!r}")

    ser_txt = chunker.contextualize(chunk=chunk)
    ser_tokens = tokenizer.count_tokens(ser_txt)
    print(f"chunker.contextualize(chunk) ({ser_tokens} tokens):\n{ser_txt!r}")

    print()

Advanced Chunking & Serialization

# Overview

In this notebook we show how to customize the serialization strategies that come into
play during chunking.

# Setup

# We will work with a document that contains some [picture annotations](../pictures_description):


from docling_core.types.doc.document import DoclingDocument

SOURCE = "./input/2408.09869v3_enriched.json"

doc = DoclingDocument.load_from_json(SOURCE)


#Below we define the chunker (for more details check out [Hybrid Chunking](../hybrid_chunking)):

from docling_core.transforms.chunker.hybrid_chunker import HybridChunker
from docling_core.transforms.chunker.tokenizer.base import BaseTokenizer
from docling_core.transforms.chunker.tokenizer.huggingface import HuggingFaceTokenizer
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

EMBED_MODEL_ID = "sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2"

tokenizer: BaseTokenizer = HuggingFaceTokenizer(
    tokenizer=AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(EMBED_MODEL_ID),
)
chunker = HybridChunker(tokenizer=tokenizer)


print(f"{tokenizer.get_max_tokens()=}")


    tokenizer.get_max_tokens()=256


# Defining some helper methods:


from typing import Iterable, Optional

from docling_core.transforms.chunker.base import BaseChunk
from docling_core.transforms.chunker.hierarchical_chunker import DocChunk
from docling_core.types.doc.labels import DocItemLabel
from rich.console import Console
from rich.panel import Panel

console = Console(
    width=200,  # for getting Markdown tables rendered nicely
)


def find_n_th_chunk_with_label(
    iter: Iterable[BaseChunk], n: int, label: DocItemLabel
) -> Optional[DocChunk]:
    num_found = -1
    for i, chunk in enumerate(iter):
        doc_chunk = DocChunk.model_validate(chunk)
        for it in doc_chunk.meta.doc_items:
            if it.label == label:
                num_found += 1
                if num_found == n:
                    return i, chunk
    return None, None


def print_chunk(chunks, chunk_pos):
    chunk = chunks[chunk_pos]
    ctx_text = chunker.contextualize(chunk=chunk)
    num_tokens = tokenizer.count_tokens(text=ctx_text)
    doc_items_refs = [it.self_ref for it in chunk.meta.doc_items]
    title = f"{chunk_pos=} {num_tokens=} {doc_items_refs=}"
    console.print(Panel(ctx_text, title=title))


# Table serialization

# Using the default strategy

#Below we inspect the first chunk containing a table — using the default serialization strategy:



chunker = HybridChunker(tokenizer=tokenizer)

chunk_iter = chunker.chunk(dl_doc=doc)

chunks = list(chunk_iter)
i, chunk = find_n_th_chunk_with_label(chunks, n=0, label=DocItemLabel.TABLE)
print_chunk(
    chunks=chunks,
    chunk_pos=i,
)


    Token indices sequence length is longer than the specified maximum sequence length for this model (2942 > 512). Running this sequence through the model will result in indexing errors

# Configuring a different strategy
