Knowledge Base Retrieval for School Admissions and Enrollment Organization: Draft Materials and Hand Over Responsibilities

School Admissions: review retrieval for material handover. Check source versions, input mappings and the values received by downstream nodes.

What this category's data looks like

This page focuses on three types of materials in primary and secondary school admissions organizations: admission plans, application material checklists, and admission lists. Admission plans come from education authorities and school admissions working groups, updated by academic year or batch, with fields including admission scope, time nodes, responsible positions, and signature fields; application material checklists are compiled by the admissions office and revised on a rolling basis with policy and system adjustments, with fields including material name, number of copies, format, submission method, and receipt; admission lists are generated by the review group and finalized by batch, with fields including student name, ID number, admission status, date, and approval signature. When these three types of materials enter the knowledge base retrieval and recall stage, they serve respectively as rule basis, verification draft, and result evidence, providing candidate snippets and similarity scores for the subsequent drafting of issuable drafts and handover records.

Configuration and implementation checks

This step is executed by the knowledge base retrieval service (retrieval node and search test), outputting candidate snippets and similarity scores (after pattern, merge, rerank, filter, and limit trimming). The issuable material drafts and handover records are completed by subsequent nodes or manually.

ObjectCheckVerification action
Admission planFields complete: admission scope, time nodes, responsible positions, and signature fields; version and date consistentIn the search test, retrieve with synonymous questions, check whether the returned candidates cover the above fields, record the number of candidates and scores, and switch searchMode to compare the effects of semantic, full-text, and hybrid options
Application material checklistThe name, number of copies, and date of the same record in the checklist and the plan match; missing signature or receipt is blockedRetrieve using the material names in the checklist and the corresponding items in the plan separately, check whether the candidate snippets are consistent, enable usingReRank to compare the ranking of the top few, and check the key snippets retained after similarity filtering
Admission listStudent name, ID number, admission status, and date within the list are consistent; when versions are not synchronized, the latest approved signature prevailsRetrieve item by item according to the list fields, check candidate snippets and scores, record the number of array items in the returned references, separately check whether the tokens of the reference text exceed the limit budget, and do not compare the number of items with the budget for equality

Three common errors

  • Phenomenon: The name or ID number of the same student does not match between the admission list and the application material checklist. Cause: The two materials are maintained separately and have not been cross-checked using the same record as an anchor.
  • Phenomenon: The admission plan has been updated, but the application material checklist still references the old version's date and number of copies. Cause: Versions are not synchronized, historical snippets are mixed into retrieval candidates, and filtering by date has not been applied.
  • Phenomenon: The handover record lacks a signature or receipt, and the next step cannot sign for acceptance. Cause: The signature field and receipt field were not included in the template during drafting, and missing items were not blocked.

How to verify the setup

Acceptance of this function: test once each with synonymously rewritten questions, compare candidates and scores, then toggle rerank on and off to observe the ranking of the top few; switch searchMode, adjust similarity and limit, record the number of candidates and scores, and compare the order before and after enabling usingReRank.

Business test: draft one copy according to the template and complete one handover, and see whether missing items are blocked.

  • In the knowledge base search test, retrieve separately using the field names of the admission plan, application material checklist, and admission list, record the number of candidates and scores, and check whether the returned snippets cover the signature, date, and receipt fields.
  • Cross-compare the name, quantity, and date of the same record in the two materials; when inconsistencies are found, first verify hits and associations, then decide whether to adjust the retrieval mode or rerank.
