传统分块已死？Agentic Chunking：让RAG不再漏掉关键信息的智能分块策略！

本文介绍Agentic Chunking这一新型文本分块技术，通过让大语言模型主动评估并分配相关句子到同一文本块，解决了传统分块方法无法处理跨段落关联内容的问题。该方法通过propositioning处理和动态创建文本块，将相距较远但主题相关的句子归入同一组，显著提升RAG系统准确率(实测提升40%)。虽成本较高，但特别适合非结构化文本、主题反复切换的内容和需要跨段落关联的QA系统。

最近公司处理LLM项目的同事咨询了我一个问题：明明文档中多次提到同一个专有名词，RAG却总是漏掉关键信息。排查后发现，问题出在传统的分块方法上——那些相隔几页却密切相关的句子，被无情地拆散了。我给了一些通用的建议，比如使用混合检索代替单一的语义检索，基于chunk生成QA对等等。接着他又提出了一个问题，有没有通过分块技术能减少这类问题的发生？我说你也可以试试最近新提出的一种分块策略：Agentic Chunking.

为什么分块如此重要？

在RAG模型中，文本分块是第一步，也是最关键的一步。传统的分块方法，比如递归字符分割（Recursive character splitting），虽然简单易用，但它有一个明显的缺点：它依赖于固定的token长度进行分割，这可能导致一个主题被分割到不同的文本块中，从而破坏了上下文的连贯性。

另一种常见的分块方法是语义分割（semantic splitting），它通过检测句子之间的语义变化来进行分割。这种方法虽然比递归字符分割更智能，但它也有局限性。比如，当文档中的话题来回切换时，语义分割可能会将相关内容分割到不同的块中，导致信息不连贯。

比如遇到下面这种场景时，它们就会集体失灵：

“小明介绍了Transformer架构…（中间插入5段其他内容）…最后他强调，Transformer的核心是自注意力机制。”

传统方法要么把这两句话拆到不同区块，要么被中间内容干扰导致语义断裂。而人工分块时，我们自然会将它们归为“模型原理”组——这种跨越文本距离的关联性，正是Agentic Chunking要解决的。

Agentic Chunking的工作原理

Agentic Chunking的核心思想是让大语言模型（LLM）主动评估每一句话，并将其分配到最合适的文本块中。与传统的分块方法不同，Agentic Chunking不依赖于固定的token长度或语义变化，而是通过LLM的智能判断，将文档中相隔较远但主题相关的句子归入同一组。

举个例子，假设我们有以下文本：

On July 20, 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. He was leading the NASA’s Apollo 11 mission. Armstrong famously said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” as he stepped onto the lunar surface.

在Agentic Chunking中，LLM会将这些句子进行propositioning处理，即将每个句子独立化，确保每个句子都有自己的主语。处理后的文本如下：

On July 20, 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.Neil Armstrong was leading the NASA’s Apollo 11 mission.Neil Armstrong famously said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” as he stepped onto the lunar surface.

这样，LLM就可以单独检查每一个句子，并将其分配到最合适的文本块中。

propositioning 可以看做是对文档进行“句子级整容”，确保每个句子独立完整

如何实现Agentic Chunking？

实现Agentic Chunking的关键在于propositioning和文本块的动态创建与更新。我们可以使用Langchain和Pydantic等工具来实现这一过程。流程图如下：

Propositioning文本

首先，我们需要将文本中的每个句子进行propositioning处理。我们可以使用Langchain提供的提示词模板，让LLM自动完成这项工作。以下是一个简单的代码示例：

from langchain.chains import create_extraction_chain_pydanticfrom langchain_core.pydantic_v1 import BaseModelfrom typing import Optionalfrom langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAIimport uuidimport osfrom typing import Listfrom langchain import hubfrom langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplatefrom langchain_openai import ChatOpenAIfrom pydantic import BaseModelobj = hub.pull("wfh/proposal-indexing")llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o")class Sentences(BaseModel):    sentences: List[str]extraction_llm = llm.with_structured_output(Sentences)extraction_chain = obj | extraction_llmsentences = extraction_chain.invoke(    """    On July 20, 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.    He was leading the NASA's Apollo 11 mission.    Armstrong famously said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" as he stepped onto the lunar surface.    """)

创建和更新文本块

接下来，我们需要创建一个函数来动态生成和更新文本块。每个文本块包含主题相似的propositions，并且随着新propositions的加入，文本块的标题和摘要也会不断更新。

def create_new_chunk(chunk_id, proposition):    summary_llm = llm.with_structured_output(ChunkMeta)    summary_prompt_template = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([        ("system", "Generate a new summary and a title based on the propositions."),        ("user", "propositions:{propositions}"),    ])    summary_chain = summary_prompt_template | summary_llm    chunk_meta = summary_chain.invoke({"propositions": [proposition]})    chunks[chunk_id] = {        "summary": chunk_meta.summary,        "title": chunk_meta.title,        "propositions": [proposition],    }

将proposition推送到合适的文本块

最后，我们需要一个AI Agent来判断新的proposition应该被添加到哪个文本块中。如果没有合适的文本块，Agent会创建一个新的文本块。

def find_chunk_and_push_proposition(proposition):    class ChunkID(BaseModel):        chunk_id: int = Field(description="The chunk id.")    allocation_llm = llm.with_structured_output(ChunkID)    allocation_prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([        ("system", "Find the chunk that best matches the proposition. If no chunk matches, return a new chunk id."),        ("user", "proposition:{proposition} chunks_summaries:{chunks_summaries}"),    ])    allocation_chain = allocation_prompt | allocation_llm    chunks_summaries = {chunk_id: chunk["summary"] for chunk_id, chunk in chunks.items()}    best_chunk_id = allocation_chain.invoke({"proposition": proposition, "chunks_summaries": chunks_summaries}).chunk_id    if best_chunk_id not in chunks:        create_new_chunk(best_chunk_id, proposition)    else:        add_proposition(best_chunk_id, proposition)

实测效果如何

我选择了新加坡圣淘沙著名景点 Wings of Time 的介绍文本作为测试对象，使用 GPT-4 模型进行处理。这段文本包含了景点介绍、票务信息、开放时间等多个方面的内容，是一个很好的测试样本。

经过 AI 的智能分块（agentic chunking），整个文本被自然地划分为四个主要部分：

主体信息块：包含了 Wings of Time 的核心介绍、特色、位置等综合信息
日程政策块：专门处理预约变更相关的信息
价格优惠块：聚焦于折扣和支付相关内容
法律条款块：归纳了各项条款和规定

经过这样的分块之后，各个块的主题明确，不重叠，且重要信息优先，辅助信息分类存放。把这样的信息放在一起，也有助于提升向量库的召回率，从而提升RAG的准确率。

总结

Agentic Chunking是一种非常强大的文本分块技术，它能够将文档中相隔较远但主题相关的句子归入同一组，从而提升RAG模型的效果，但是这种方法在成本和延迟上相对较高。同事尝试了Agentic chunking之后，据他说准确率提升了40%，但成本也增加了3倍。那么我们时候应该使用Agentic chunking呢？

根据我的项目经验，以下场景特别适合：
