What Data for This Category Looks Like
Personal care product research and knowledge base data sources include publicly available ingredient filing materials from brands, third-party compliance test reports, publicly available product detail pages on e-commerce platforms, and compliance guidelines released by industry associations. Update frequency fluctuates with new product launch cycles. Update frequency is higher during periods of intensive new product launches. Regular filing data updates follow a quarterly cycle. Most documents are structured tables or PDFs with fixed fields, including ingredient labels, filing numbers, production implementation standards, applicable skin types, compliance statements, and other fields. Filing numbers use a fixed format starting with Guozhuang Tezi/Beizi followed by a combination of letters and numbers. Production batches are identifiers formed by combining letters and numbers.
Constraints on Citation Source and Traceability
Data sources are scattered and include compliance-related unique identifiers. The traceability process must clearly distinguish source types. Do not mix third-party test data and e-commerce reviews in annotations. Ingredient and efficacy descriptions have high similarity. Strictly control the recall range to prevent irrelevant content from being included. Update frequency fluctuations require regular synchronization of data sources. If the synchronization cycle is too long, expired filing information may be cited. Most documents have many structured fields. Traceability information must be accurately associated with corresponding fields. Relying only on file names cannot quickly locate specific data entries.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
Recall Count | Top 3-5 entries | Personal care product research data entries are highly segmented and numerous. Excessive recall causes redundant context. Insufficient recall fails to cover core research concerns. |
Similarity Threshold | 0.75-0.85 | Ingredient and efficacy descriptions for personal care products have high similarity. A threshold that is too low introduces irrelevant content. A threshold that is too high fails to recall accurately matched compliance data. |
Citation Source Format | [Source Type] Filing Number/File Name | Personal care data includes unique identifiers such as filing numbers. Direct association allows quick verification of compliance. Avoid relying only on file names, which leads to unclear traceability. |
Data Source Synchronization Cycle | 7-14 days | Most new personal care product launch cycles follow a monthly pattern. The synchronization cycle covers new product update rhythms. Avoid citing expired filing content. |
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | 600 seconds | Some third-party test report PDFs have many pages. Parsing takes a long time. This setting prevents file upload failures caused by parsing timeouts. |
Rearranged Return Count | Top 2-3 entries | Personal care product research focuses on core ingredients and filing information. Rearranging retains the most relevant traceability content and improves research efficiency. |
The parameter values provided on this page are common recommended starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume and business rules. Specific issues require individual analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Phenomenon: Output content after calling the knowledge base does not match the cited source. Cause: The
Citation Source Formatis not configured to associate unique identifiers such as filing numbers. Only citing file names fails to locate specific data entries. - Phenomenon: The knowledge base module in a workflow fails to return cited content. Cause: The knowledge base's "Return Citation Source" configuration is not enabled, or citation fields are not specified in the tool output template.
- Phenomenon: Garbled citation markers appear at the end of output content. Cause: Special characters are not handled correctly in the
Citation Source Formatconfiguration, leading to format exceptions during parsing.
How to Verify Proper Configuration
- Upload a personal care compliance document that includes a filing number. Initiate a query that includes the corresponding filing number. Check whether the output content is associated with the cited source of that filing number.
- Adjust the
Recall Countconfiguration. Initiate multiple queries with different keywords. Check that the number of returned citations matches the set value. - Trigger a manual data source synchronization task. Check the synchronization logs in the knowledge base backend. Confirm that new data within the synchronization cycle has been successfully collected.
- Initiate a query for content with no matches in the knowledge base. Check that no citations from irrelevant files are returned.
