CHOP: Chunkwise Context-Preserving Framework for RAG on Multi Documents
On the map: Retrieval-augmented generation → Multimodal RAG
Abstract (arXiv)
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems lose retrieval accuracy when similar documents coexist in the vector database, causing unnecessary information, hallucinations, and factual errors. To alleviate this issue, we propose CHOP, a framework that iteratively evaluates chunk relevance with Large Language Models (LLMs) and progressively reconstructs documents by determining their association with specific topics or query types. CHOP integrates two key components: the CNM-Extractor, which generates compact per-chunk signatures capturing categories, key nouns, and model names, and the Continuity Decision Module, which preserves contextual coherence by deciding whether consecutive chunks belong to the same document flow. By prefixing each chunk with context-aware metadata, CHOP reduces semantic conflicts among similar documents and enhances retriever discrimination. Experiments on benchmark datasets show that CHOP alleviates retrieval confusion and provides a scalable approach for building high-quality knowledge bases, achieving a Top-1 Hit Rate of 90.77% and notable gains in ranking quality metrics.
