Document Intelligence Pipeline
An end-to-end pipeline that turns messy PDFs into structured, queryable knowledge — parsing, semantic chunking, and grounded extraction.
RAGPDFLangChainFastAPI
Real documents are messy — scanned PDFs, nested tables, inconsistent structure. This pipeline is our reference for turning that mess into something a model can reason over reliably.
The pipeline
- Parse — layout-aware extraction that preserves tables and headings.
- Chunk — semantic boundaries, not fixed token counts, with metadata carried through.
- Index — hybrid retrieval over the chunks, versioned so you can roll back.
- Extract — grounded, cited extraction with an explicit "not found" path.
Why it matters
The chunking and grounding discipline here is exactly what we argue for in Production RAG: Beyond the Demo. This project is that argument made concrete.
