Knowledge Base Retrieval for Teacher Qualification Exams and Certification: Draft Materials and Hand Over Responsibilities

Teacher Qualifications: 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 category's data looks like this: Teacher qualification examination and certification involve three types of materials: written and interview registration forms, Mandarin proficiency certificates, and medical examination forms. Sources are registration system exports, test institution issuances, and designated hospital issuances. The update cadence rolls with batches. Fields include name, ID number, subject, level, date, and signature field. When materials enter the knowledge base retrieval service, the registration form plays the role of identity and subject verification, the Mandarin proficiency certificate plays the role of language level and number verification, and the medical examination form plays the role of conclusion and validity period verification. Together, the three support signable material drafts and handover records.

Configuration and implementation checks

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 mode, merge, rerank, filter, and limit trimming). "Signable material drafts and handover records" are completed by subsequent nodes or manually.

ObjectCheckVerification action
Written and interview registration formFields complete, responsible person clear, version and date consistent; verify name, ID number, subject, signature fieldIn the search test, switch searchMode, check the number of registration form candidates and scores, and verify whether the signature field is recalled
Mandarin proficiency certificateVerify level, number, issuance date, and signature or seal; match the name and date of the same record as the registration formTest once each with synonymous questions, compare candidates and scores, and verify whether the number and date snippets appear simultaneously
Medical examination formVerify conclusion, validity period, and signature or receipt; match the name, quantity, and date of the same record as the registration formCompare the order of the top few items before and after enabling usingReRank, and check whether the conclusion and validity period snippets are still in the top ranks
Handover recordResponsible person clear, version and date consistent, missing items blockedCheck the number of candidates and scores by similarity and limit, record the tokens of the referenced text, and record the array length separately

Three common errors

  • Phenomenon: The name and date of the same record do not match between the registration form and the medical examination form. Cause: Candidate snippets come from different recall channels and are not merged and verified by the same record; hit and association must be checked first.
  • Phenomenon: The Mandarin proficiency certificate version is not synchronized, and the old level is still recalled. Cause: After multi-path merging, no rerank secondary sorting is done, and the old snippet's similarity score is too high; the rerank switch must be toggled to compare order.
  • Phenomenon: The handover record lacks a signature or receipt, but the draft is still issued. Cause: After similarity filtering and reference limit trimming, the retained snippets are incomplete; the tokens of the referenced text and the array length must be checked.

How to verify the setup

How to verify the setup: Functional acceptance: test once each with synonymously rewritten questions, compare candidates and scores, then toggle rerank to see the order of the top few items; switch searchMode and adjust similarity and limit to see changes in the number of candidates and scores.

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

  • In the knowledge base search test, switch retrieval mode, compare the number of candidates and scores, and verify the fields and date snippets of the registration form, Mandarin proficiency certificate, and medical examination form.
  • Compare the order of the top few items before and after enabling rerank, record the tokens of the referenced text and the array length, and verify whether the signature or receipt snippets are retained.
