What this category's data looks like
Graduate training process management involves materials such as training plans, thesis proposals, and mid-term assessment forms, with fields including course names and credits, topic titles and dates, and assessment conclusions and signature fields. When these materials enter the knowledge base retrieval node, each plays a different role: the training plan provides the course and credit baseline, the thesis proposal provides the topic and time nodes, and the mid-term assessment form provides the stage conclusion and signature receipt. The material update rhythm follows the advancement of semesters and changes in training stages; the names, quantities, and dates of the same record in two materials are prone to mismatch, and version desynchronization or missing signature receipts may also occur. Citation sources and traceability require that each citation can point back to the original text paragraph; the version ledger and change records are then used by subsequent nodes or manually to compare fields, write the ledger, and generate reports.
Configuration and implementation checks
This step is executed by the citation output of the knowledge base retrieval node, which outputs an array of citation content, each containing an original text snippet and a source identifier, and the length can be 0. The "version ledger and change records" are completed subsequently by AI nodes, code nodes, or manually.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Training plan | Whether the course names, credits, study semesters, and signature fields are consistent with the thesis proposal and mid-term assessment form | Open the citation markers one by one in the citation array, compare the fields and dates against the original text paragraphs, and record the number of citations in responseData (non-streaming module results returned with detailed output enabled) |
| Thesis proposal | Whether the topic title, proposal date, supervisor signature, and receipt are traceable | Run a trial with a question that has no matching materials, see whether the output is empty while the chain continues, and check the hit status in quoteList |
| Mid-term assessment form | Whether the assessment conclusion, assessment date, signature field, and the names and quantities in the training plan match | Verify that the number of citations matches the hit materials, record the array length separately, and when the citation limit is involved, check the tokens of the citation text and quoteMaxToken |
| Knowledge base retrieval node | Whether the associated knowledge base uses the same vector model, and whether the search parameters are consistent with the values in the knowledge base retrieval section | Open the search parameter panel and check item by item; when the citation limit is involved, check the tokens of the citation text |
Three common errors
- Symptom: The course names and credit quantities of the same record do not match between the training plan and the mid-term assessment form. Cause: The two materials are updated separately, versions are not synchronized, and the citation snippets cover only one of them.
- Symptom: The thesis proposal date and the mid-term assessment form date are inconsistent, and the original text paragraph pointed to by the citation marker cannot be traced back. Cause: The hit material is not the current version for this round, and the old version is not marked.
- Symptom: There are no citation markers in the answer, or the citation array is empty. Cause: No materials were hit in this round; an empty array is normal output and does not mean retrieval failed.
How to verify the setup
Feature acceptance: Ask a question with original text support, verify whether the citation array and markers can point back to the original text, and check the number of citations in responseData and the source identifiers in quoteList; then ask a question with no matching materials to confirm that the array is empty while the chain still runs through.
Business test: Change one piece of content and see whether the version number and citations update synchronously.
- In the node, check the selected collections and their vector models, and confirm that the associated knowledge bases use the same vector model.
- Open the search parameter panel and check item by item; when the citation limit is involved, check the tokens of the citation text, and record the array length separately.
