Bayesian Search Cuts RAG Latency 40% in Production Pipeline
A team rebuilt their retrieval layer to address production RAG failures like mid-sentence splits and noise. They implemented recursive chunking by document structure and a Bayesian search that cut latency by 40%. The new pipeline achieved 95% recall@10.
