Knowledge Base Retrieval for Vocational College Skills Competition Organization: Manage Authorized Access and External Services

Skills Competitions: review retrieval for authorized access. Check source versions, input mappings and the values received by downstream nodes.

What this category's data looks like

Vocational college skills competition organization involves three types of materials: competition regulations, registration forms, and training plans. Regulations come from the organizer and are updated by competition year; fields include event name, group, date, and seal. Registration forms are submitted by participating schools and include competitor name, ID number, advisor, and signature. Training plans are prepared by the coaching team and include phase, class hours, venue, and receipt. After these three types of materials enter the knowledge base, regulations serve as the basis for determining authorization and the scope of external services, while registration forms and training plans serve as the working drafts for checking visible scope and identity matching. During retrieval, regulation fragments are used to confirm which content can be opened to parents or superiors, and registration form and training plan fragments are used to compare whether the name, quantity, and date of the same record are consistent, and to check whether signatures and receipts are complete. The update rhythm is bounded by competition year and batch; old materials should retain version markers to avoid mixed retrieval with new versions.

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 mode, merge, rerank, filter, and limit trimming). The externally available entry points and authorization scope are then completed by subsequent nodes or manually.

ObjectCheckVerification action
Competition regulationsWhether the event name, group, date, and seal are consistent between the regulations and the registration formIn the search test, retrieve once each with synonymous questions, record the number of candidates and scores, and check the event name, group, and date in the hit fragments
Registration formWhether competitor names, quantity, advisor, and signature match between the registration form and the training planSwitch searchMode to semantic, full-text, or hybrid, compare whether the candidates simultaneously contain fragments of both material types, and check whether signatures and receipts are complete
Training planWhether the version of the phase, class hours, venue, and receipt is synchronized with the current competition yearEnable and disable rerank, compare the order of the top few candidates, and confirm that version markers and dates are not misaligned
Authorization scopeWhether the visitor identity matches the visible scope, and whether unauthorized content is filtered outAccess once with a restricted identity, observe whether the returned candidates fall within the set scope, and record the number of candidates and scores under similarity and limit

Three common errors

  • Phenomenon: The name or date of the same event does not match between the regulations and the registration form. Cause: The two materials were filled in by different roles and were entered into the knowledge base without field-level comparison.
  • Phenomenon: The phase and class hours of the training plan differ in quantity between the two versions of the document. Cause: The versions were not synchronized, and old fragments can still be recalled and ranked first.
  • Phenomenon: A registration form lacking a signature or a training plan lacking a receipt is still treated as a visible basis. Cause: The signature and seal fields were not checked before entering the knowledge base, and during retrieval only scores were considered without checking completeness.

How to verify the setup

Acceptance of this feature: 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; record the number of candidates and scores, and when a citation limit is involved, check the tokens of the cited text, record the array length separately, and check the actual values of usingReRank and similarity.

Business test: access once with a restricted identity and see whether the visible scope matches the setting

  • In the search test, retrieve once each for the same event using different phrasings, record the number of candidates and scores, and confirm that key fragments have not been trimmed out by similarity filtering
  • Check the names, quantities, dates, and signature receipts of the regulations, registration forms, and training plans, mark inconsistent places with versions, and re-enter them into the knowledge base
