Researchers have developed and compared various chunking strategies for improving retrieval-augmented generation on German legal texts. Their study focused on the German Civil Code, evaluating methods like structural units, fixed-size windows, and semantic clustering. The findings indicate that chunking based on the legal code's inherent structure, such as sections and subsections, yields the highest recall and computational efficiency compared to more complex LLM-intensive techniques.
