Data Characteristics
Talent report query data in the biopharmaceutical industry comes from internal HR systems, employee resume databases, project performance records, and external recruitment channel resume archives. This data updates relatively infrequently, typically quarterly or annually, with sporadic changes during project or personnel shifts. Document structures vary, including standardized PDF reports, Word-format personal resumes, and Excel-format performance statistics. Fields cover basic personal information (e.g., name, employee ID, department, position), educational background (school, major, degree), work experience (company, role, project, responsibilities), skills (experimental techniques, analytical methods, software tools), and performance evaluations (assessment level, key contributions). Some fields may involve specialized terminology and abbreviations, such as "GMP," "GLP" certifications, or specific biological experimental technique names.
Constraints from Document Parsing and Chunking
The diverse sources and complex structure of talent report data demand high precision in document parsing. Unstructured text in Word and PDF, like project responsibility descriptions and skill specialties, requires accurate extraction to prevent mis-segmentation of professional terms. Large Excel datasets, often exceeding tens of thousands of rows, contain multi-column linked information. Standard chunking methods risk breaking context, leading to incomplete query results. Infrequent data updates mean initial parsing must be comprehensive to minimize subsequent reprocessing due to missing data. Reports contain sensitive personal information, such as names and employee IDs, which require anonymization or access control during chunking to prevent information leakage. The presence of specialized terminology and abbreviations necessitates maintaining their integrity during chunking to avoid semantic loss from fragmentation.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Suggested Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
Chunk Size | 800–1200 characters | Balances semantic completeness and vector model processing efficiency, avoiding information redundancy from overly long text or context loss from overly short text. |
Chunk Overlap | 100–200 characters | Ensures sufficient contextual connection between adjacent chunks, improves coherence in multi-turn conversations, and handles entity information spanning chunks. |
File Type Whitelist | docx, pdf, xlsx, txt | Covers mainstream talent report file formats, ensuring all relevant documents can be recognized and processed by the system. |
Parse Timeout | 600 seconds | Processing large Excel files or complex PDF documents may require significant time, preventing parsing tasks from being interrupted by timeouts. |
Vectorization Model | text-embedding-ada-002 | Provides good semantic understanding capabilities, suitable for specialized terminology and complex descriptions in the biopharmaceutical domain. |
Chunking Strategy | By Title and Paragraph | Prioritizes retaining report structure, ensuring key information like educational background and work experience is identified as independent semantic units. |
Common Pitfalls
- Symptom: Excel files larger than 10MB fail to parse or lose some data. Reason: The system's default file size limit or insufficient parser memory configuration cannot handle large-scale tabular data.
- Symptom: When querying an employee's project experience, results are fragmented or lack critical details. Reason: Document chunking did not adequately consider the context of professional terms and project descriptions, leading to incorrect semantic truncation.
- Symptom: After multiple retry attempts, some
chunks still show vectorization errors. Reason: There may be irregular characters or formatting errors, causing the vector model to fail processing. The original text requires cleaning.
How to Verify Configuration
- Randomly select multiple talent reports in different formats (Word, PDF, Excel). Upload them and check the number and content of chunks in the knowledge base to ensure no critical information is omitted or truncated.
- For reports with specialized terminology and complex descriptions, conduct multi-turn questioning to verify if the model can accurately recall relevant information and maintain semantic coherence.
- Check system logs to confirm that the
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDSconfiguration is effective, large file parsing tasks are not interrupted by timeouts, and there are nochunkvectorization failure error logs. - Test uploading files of different sizes to ensure the
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZEconfiguration covers actual usage scenarios and all legitimate files can be parsed correctly.
