Knowledge Base Retrieval for Adult College Entrance Applications and Admissions: Track Progress and Check Statistics

Adult Admissions: review retrieval for progress tracking. Check source versions, input mappings and the values received by downstream nodes.

What this category's data looks like

Adult college entrance exam registration and admission management involves three types of materials: registration forms, care bonus-point materials, and admission rosters. The registration form contains the candidate's name, ID number, application level, subject category, registration date, and confirmation signature; the care bonus-point materials contain the bonus item, certificate number, review date, and handler signature; the admission roster contains the admitted major, admission date, roster serial number, and responsible person's signature. Materials enter the knowledge base in batches by registration season, review node, and admission batch, and the update rhythm is synchronized with the batches. When entering the knowledge base retrieval and recall function, the registration form, care bonus-point materials, and admission roster each participate in recall as independent sources, each retaining fields, dates, and signature information, for output of candidate snippets and similarity scores, without changing the materials themselves.

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). The progress table and statistical scope description are completed by subsequent nodes or manually.

ObjectCheckVerification action
Registration formFields, dates, and signatures must correspond item by item with the care bonus-point materials and admission rosterIn the search test, switch searchMode and check whether the candidate snippets cover name, ID number, registration date, and confirmation signature
Care bonus-point materialsBonus item, certificate number, review date, and handler signature must be consistent with the registration formCompare the top few rankings before and after enabling usingReRank, and check whether the bonus-point material candidates contain the certificate number and review date
Admission rosterAdmitted major, admission date, roster serial number, and responsible person's signature must align with the registration form and care bonus-point materialsAdjust similarity to observe changes in the number of candidates and scores, and check whether the roster candidates retain the admission date and signature snippets
Progress table and statistical scope descriptionRecord counts and statistical counts must match, the scope must be written in the header, and exceptions must be clearly statedUse one week of records to check the totals, see whether the scope and exceptions are clearly stated, and record the number of candidates and scores

Three common errors

  • Symptom: The same candidate's name, quantity, and date do not match between the registration form and the admission roster. Cause: The two material versions are not synchronized, and the retrieval candidates do not hit fields in both places at the same time.
  • Symptom: The care bonus-point materials lack the handler signature or receipt. Cause: The materials did not carry the signature page when entering the knowledge base, and the candidate snippets only recalled the main text.
  • Symptom: There are many candidates, but the ones ranked at the front are all irrelevant. Cause: searchMode does not match the material form, and usingReRank was not enabled for secondary ranking.

How to verify the setup

Acceptance for this function: test once each with synonym-rewritten questions, compare candidates and scores, then toggle rerank on and off to see the ranking of the top few; record the number of candidates and scores, and check the values of similarity, limit, searchMode, and usingReRank.

Business test: use one week of records to check the totals, and see whether the scope and exceptions are clearly stated.

  • In the knowledge base search test, switch searchMode and compare the candidate snippets and scores of the semantic, full-text, and hybrid modes.
  • Enable and disable usingReRank to compare changes in the ranking of the top few; adjust similarity and limit, and record the number of candidates and the tokens of the cited text.
