Recursive character-based chunking at 300 characters outperforms Sentence-Based, Khmer-Aware, and LLM-Based methods on L2 distance, answer relevance, and Khmer IoU in a 5-fold evaluation on 18 Khmer agricultural QA pairs.

abstract
We explore the use of semantic word embeddings in text segmentation algorithms, including the C99 segmentation algorithm and new algorithms inspired by the distributed word vector representation. By developing a general framework for discussing a class of segmentation objectives, we study the effectiveness of greedy versus exact optimization approaches and suggest a new iterative refinement technique for improving the performance of greedy strategies. We compare our results to known benchmarks, using known metrics. We demonstrate state-of-the-art performance for an untrained method with our Content Vector Segmentation (CVS) on the Choi test set. Finally, we apply the segmentation procedure to an in-the-wild dataset consisting of text extracted from scholarly articles in the arXiv.org database.

Evaluation of Chunking Strategies for Effective Text Embedding in Low-Resource Language on Agricultural Documents
Recursive character-based chunking at 300 characters outperforms Sentence-Based, Khmer-Aware, and LLM-Based methods on L2 distance, answer relevance, and Khmer IoU in a 5-fold evaluation on 18 Khmer agricultural QA pairs.
