What Data Looks Like for This Category
Data for this category originates from four main sources: the People's Republic of China Pharmacopoeia, Chinese herbal medicine origin traceability archives, Chinese herbal medicine decoction pieces processing specifications, clinical evidence-based research papers, and market price ledgers. Document structures include fixed fields such as nature, taste and meridian tropism, functions and indications, usage and dosage, processing methods, and quality standards. Some research documents are long-form reviews. Units used include grams, milliliters, harvesting cycle (months), and active ingredient content (mg/g), among others. Pharmacopoeia data receives official updates every 5 years. Industry standards are updated quarterly. Clinical literature is added in real time. Market data is synchronized daily.
What Constraints These Characteristics Impose on Deployment and Upgrade
Heterogeneous data from multiple sources requires adaptation to different parsing rules. Multiple document parsing templates are configured during deployment to support standard text, research papers, traceability data, and other formats. Segmentation and timeout parameters are adjusted for parsing long-form research reviews to avoid truncating professional terms or interrupting tasks. Field mapping rules are configured during knowledge base initialization to meet standardization requirements for fixed fields, ensuring uniform data format for subsequent imports. Scheduled synchronization tasks are set up for high-frequency updated market data. Format changes from new data sources are supported during upgrades. Unified conversion rules are configured for fields with different units during retrieval to avoid matching deviations.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | 600-900 seconds | Adapt to parsing requirements for long clinical research reviews and complete pharmacopoeia chapters, avoid task interruption due to mid-parsing timeout |
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE | 1000-2000 MB | Support import of large-size pharmacopoeia scans and bulk Chinese herbal medicine traceability data |
maxContext | 8000-12000 characters | Cover complete core field content including nature, taste and meridian tropism, functions and indications, quality standards, avoid truncation of critical information |
Recall count | Top 8-12 entries | Balance retrieval accuracy and response speed, cover recall of both professional literature and standard data |
Similarity threshold | 0.75-0.85 | Adapt to semantic matching accuracy for TCM professional terms, reduce false recall of irrelevant content |
PARSE_SEGMENT_LENGTH | 1000-1500 characters | Avoid splitting complete professional content such as processing specifications and usage and dosage, improve integrity of retrieved fragments |
The parameter values provided on this page are common starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume and business rules. Specific issues require targeted analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Phenomenon: A
408 Request Timeouterror is returned when importing complete pharmacopoeia chapters or long research papers. Cause: ThePARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDSconfiguration is not adjusted, and the default timeout duration is insufficient to complete long-text parsing. - Phenomenon: Entries with inconsistent units appear in search results, such as quality standard content containing both "g" and "mg/g". Cause: Unified unit conversion rules for fields are not configured, and format standards for data from different sources are not aligned during initialization.
- Phenomenon: Historical investment research conversation records cannot be viewed after deployment, and log files are lost. Cause: Persistent storage volumes are not configured for mounting via Docker, or conversation log retention parameters are not enabled, resulting in data clearance after restart.
How to Confirm Configuration Is Correct
A complete pharmacopoeia chapter document is uploaded, and the parsing task status is checked to confirm no timeout errors occur. Test data containing fields with different units is imported, and unit formats in search results are verified as unified after retrieval. The deployment service is restarted, and historical conversation records are checked for retention to confirm the log storage configuration is effective. The Similarity threshold is adjusted to a test value, professional terms are searched, and matching accuracy of recall results is confirmed to meet preset requirements.
