What this category's data looks like
The materials for business-basis lookup in undergraduate program revision come from three types: program plans, course syllabi, and credit structure tables. A program plan contains training objectives, the curriculum system, and graduation requirements; a course syllabus contains course objectives, teaching content, and assessment methods; a credit structure table contains the credits, class hours, and study requirements of each module. The three types of materials are updated by academic year or revision batch, and their fields include name, quantity, date, and signature column. When entering the hybrid retrieval and reranking feature, the program plan is the primary basis, the course syllabus is used to check course names and assessment details, and the credit structure table is used to check credits and class-hour quantities. Each of the three provides traceable original-text snippets for subsequent citation trimming and answer generation.
Configuration and implementation checks
This step is performed by the reranking model in the retrieval service, which outputs the sorted candidates and rerank scores. "Basis entries with traceable original text" are then completed by citation trimming and answer generation. Hybrid retrieval runs both the vector path and the full-text path and merges the results; after merging, the scope is large and similarity filtering cannot be applied directly, so a reranking model is usually then used to sort and filter by rerank score.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Program plan | The name, quantity, date, and signature column must match those in the course syllabus and credit structure table | Check whether the name, quantity, and date of the same record are consistent across the two materials, check whether the versions are in sync, and check whether signatures or receipts are complete |
| Course syllabus | The course name, credits, and assessment methods must be consistent with the program plan and credit structure table | Check the course name and credit quantity, check the date and signature column, and confirm that the version is current |
| Credit structure table | The credits, class hours, and study requirements of each module must be consistent with the program plan and course syllabus | Check the credit and class-hour quantities, check the date and signature column, and confirm that the version is current |
| Reranking model | It is bound and used for sorting and filtering, and outputs the sorted candidates and rerank scores | Compare the order and scores before and after reranking, check the number of candidates and the scores, and check the values of searchMode, usingReRank, limit, and similarity |
Three common errors
- Symptom: the name or credit quantity of the same course does not match across the two materials. Cause: during revision only one material was changed and the other was not updated in sync, resulting in inconsistent records.
- Symptom: the version dates of the program plan and the course syllabus are inconsistent. Cause: the versions were not synced, old-version materials remain in the retrieval scope, and they may still be cited after reranking.
- Symptom: basis entries lack signatures or receipts and cannot be traced back to the original text. Cause: material archiving is incomplete, and the corresponding signature column or receipt record cannot be found during citation trimming.
How to verify the setup
Acceptance of this feature: compare the order and scores of the top three before and after enabling reranking, check the number of candidates and the scores, and check the values of searchMode, usingReRank, limit, and similarity.
Business test: ask a cross-material basis question, see whether the answer gives traceable sources, and check whether the sources come from the institution’s materials, whether the version is current, and whether the entries match the original text.
- Check the name, quantity, date, and signature column of the program plan, course syllabus, and credit structure table, and confirm that the version is current and that the records in the three materials are consistent.
- Compare the order and scores before and after reranking, check the number of candidates and the scores, and confirm that the values of
searchMode,usingReRank,limit, andsimilaritymeet expectations.
