Data Characteristics in this Category

Academic promotion in pharmacovigilance primarily uses data from clinical study reports, post-market surveillance data, regulatory guidelines and alerts, and specialized medical literature. Data updates frequently, especially after new drug launches or when new adverse event signals emerge. Document structures typically include unstructured text (e.g., medical papers, case reports) and semi-structured data (e.g., adverse event reporting forms). Core fields include drug name, active ingredient, indications, adverse reaction type, occurrence time, severity, patient characteristics, and reporting source. Some data may involve dosage units (milligrams, micrograms) and frequency units (times/day, week), and often contain medical terminology and abbreviations.

Constraints Imposed by these Characteristics on Workflow Orchestration

High-frequency data sources require flexible data ingestion and update mechanisms in the workflow, such as scheduled crawling or event-triggered updates. The high proportion of unstructured text means natural language processing capabilities must be strengthened to extract key information from vast amounts of literature. Semi-structured data requires the workflow to effectively interface with structured databases. The use of medical terminology and abbreviations demands higher model understanding and entity recognition, potentially requiring customized dictionaries or domain-specific models. Integrating heterogeneous data from multiple sources requires considering data cleaning, standardization, and deduplication. Additionally, academic promotion outputs often require high accuracy and traceability. Each step in the workflow should support auditing and verification to ensure information reliability.

Configuration Guidelines

Configuration ItemSuggested ValueRationale for this Value
maxContext32000 tokensBalances long document processing with model inference costs, preventing frequent truncation.
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS600 secondsProvides sufficient time for parsing large PDFs or medical literature, preventing timeouts.
Recall count20 entriesEnsures retrieval of enough relevant adverse reaction information and regulatory clauses from the knowledge base.
Similarity threshold0.75Balances recall precision and breadth, filtering out irrelevant document snippets.
Rerank result count5 entriesSelects the most relevant core information, reducing model processing burden and improving answer accuracy.
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE100 MBSupports uploading large clinical study reports or collections of multiple documents.

Three Common Mistakes

  • Tool invocation nodes frequently return 429 Request rate increased too quickly errors. This happens when concurrent request volume exceeds the model API's rate limits, without proper retry mechanisms or rate limiting strategies configured.
  • After workflow publication, accessing via personal WeChat QR code does not support multiple users concurrently. This occurs because publishing for personal WeChat is typically designed for a single user and lacks multi-user sharing or multi-instance deployment capabilities.
  • File upload nodes cannot process image files, causing image test failures. This happens when the file upload function does not support image formats (e.g., .jpg, .png) or lacks integrated image recognition capabilities.

How to Verify Correct Configuration

  • Simulate submitting clinical trial reports containing new adverse reaction information to verify if the workflow successfully parses and extracts key pharmacovigilance fields.
  • Test uploads of medical literature in different formats (PDF, DOCX) and sizes to confirm that PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS and UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE configurations cover common scenarios.
  • Use known adverse event cases as queries to check if recall results include relevant regulations and academic literature, and evaluate the impact of Similarity threshold on result relevance.
