What is the purpose of chunking in Langchain?
Chunking breaks large texts into smaller pieces to help the system process and understand information better.

What does 'overlap' mean in the context of chunk boundaries?
Overlap means that some parts of text appear in more than one chunk to keep context between chunks.

Why is overlap useful when splitting text into chunks?
Overlap helps keep the flow of information so the system doesn’t lose important details between chunks.

How do chunk boundaries affect the quality of text processing?
Good chunk boundaries avoid cutting sentences awkwardly, making the text easier to understand and process.

What happens if there is no overlap between chunks?
Without overlap, the system might miss connections between chunks, causing loss of context and less accurate results.

What is the main reason to use overlap in chunking?
ATo keep context between chunks
BTo reduce the number of chunks
CTo make chunks smaller than one word
DTo remove repeated text
What is a chunk boundary?
AThe number of chunks created
BThe total size of all chunks
CThe place where one chunk ends and another begins
DThe overlap size between chunks
If chunks have no overlap, what is a likely problem?
AChunks become too large
BChunks are harder to create
CChunks contain repeated sentences
DLoss of context between chunks
Which is a good practice for chunk boundaries?
ACutting at sentence ends
BCutting in the middle of words
CCutting randomly
DCutting only at paragraph starts
What does chunk overlap usually contain?
AEmpty space
BSome repeated text from the end of the previous chunk
COnly punctuation marks
DCompletely new text unrelated to previous chunk
