Yes. I split the text into sentence and append sentences to a chunk until the max context window is reached. The context window size is dynamic for each article so that each chunk is roughly the same size. Then I just do a mean pool of the chunks for each article.

Thanks for the answer.

Wikipedia has a lot of tables so I was wondering if content-aware sentence chunking would be good enough for Wikipedia.

mwparserfromhell can parse the text content without including tables
