Knowledge Base Retrieval for Vocational College Curriculum Planning: Manage Authorized Access and External Services

What this category's data looks like

This page focuses on external authorization and material consistency in the development of talent cultivation programs in vocational colleges, involving three types of materials: talent cultivation programs, curriculum standards, and job competency analysis tables. The talent cultivation program is the primary object of authorized access, while curriculum standards and job competency analysis tables serve as supporting evidence; the three must corroborate each other in fields, dates, and signatures. When materials enter the knowledge base retrieval service, each participates in recall as an independent fragment: the program body provides training objectives and curriculum structure, curriculum standards provide content standards and credit hour allocation, and job competency analysis tables provide competency items and corresponding courses. In terms of update cadence, programs are revised with major adjustments, curriculum standards are updated with industry standards, and job competency analysis tables roll with job surveys. In terms of field characteristics, the same record often shows inconsistencies in names, quantities, and dates across two materials, with versions not synchronized or missing signature receipts, leading to deviations in visible scope and identity matching during external authorization. The retrieval service is only responsible for recalling candidate fragments and similarity scores; the authorization scope and entry points are completed by subsequent nodes or manually.

Configuration and implementation checks

This step is executed by the knowledge base retrieval service (retrieval node and search test), outputting candidate fragments and similarity scores (after pattern, merge, rerank, filter, and limit trimming). The externally accessible entry points and authorization scope are subsequently completed by subsequent nodes or manually.

Three common errors

• Phenomenon: The same major name is written differently in the talent cultivation program and curriculum standards. Cause: The two materials are maintained by different departments, versions are not synchronized, leading to mismatched names in retrieval candidates.
• Phenomenon: The number of competency items in the job competency analysis table is inconsistent with the number of course modules in the curriculum standards. Cause: After job survey updates, curriculum standards were not revised synchronously, and dates and signatures are missing.
• Phenomenon: After external authorization, materials seen by parents or superiors lack signatures or receipts. Cause: The authorization scope does not cover signature pages and receipt attachments, and retrieval candidates do not include complete fragments.

How to verify the setup

Acceptance of this feature: Test once each with synonym-rewritten questions, compare candidates and scores, then toggle reranking to see the order of the top few items; record the number of candidates and scores, switch searchMode to observe recall differences, enable usingReRank to compare ranking changes.

Business test: Access once with a restricted identity to see if the visible scope matches the setting; verify whether the fields, dates, and signatures of the talent cultivation program, curriculum standards, and job competency analysis table are consistent.

• In the knowledge base search test, use semantic, full-text, and hybrid searchMode respectively to retrieve the same question, record the number of candidates and similarity scores, and compare recall differences.
• Compare the order of the top few items before and after enabling usingReRank, adjust limit to observe the tokens and array count of the referenced text after reference limit trimming, and record separately.
