Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering for Military Electronics Research Report Retrieval

Military electronics research reports originate from public documents issued by competent national defense science, technology and industry

What the data for this category looks like

Military electronics research reports originate from public documents issued by competent national defense science, technology and industry administration departments, industry analysis documents released by military electronics industry associations, regular public reports of listed military electronics enterprises, and regular research content from professional military intelligence institutions. Regular industry research reports are updated quarterly, while special technical research reports are released irregularly based on industry developments. Document structures include overall track analysis, core product parameters, corporate revenue and production capacity data, policy interpretations, and industry competition landscape. Fields covered include product model, mass production capacity, delivery cycle, unit production cost per unit, and supporting customer type, with units of units, days, and RMB.

What constraints these characteristics impose on multi-turn dialogue and prompt configuration

The military electronics industry has numerous segmented tracks, individual documents are lengthy, and update cycles are irregular. These factors create multiple constraints for multi-turn dialogue and prompt configuration. First, multi-turn dialogue must limit the context window to avoid confusing model judgments with redundant cross-track information. Second, the prompt must clearly restrict use to only public research report content, to prevent the model from fabricating undisclosed industry data. Third, the segmented track of user questions must be tracked to ensure subsequent conversations always relate to the military electronics field, avoiding irrelevant content from civilian electronics or other industries.

How to set the configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
maxContext8000–12000 charactersMilitary electronics research reports have relatively long individual lengths. An overly long context will cause the model to confuse track information, while retaining sufficient multi-turn dialogue history
recallTopKTop 8–12 resultsThere are many segmented tracks in the military electronics industry. Too many recalled results will introduce content from irrelevant tracks, while too few will fail to cover the segmented field of user questions
rerankTopNTop 3–5 resultsThe most relevant research report fragments must be retained to avoid information overload during multi-turn dialogue
promptTemplateAnswer only based on the uploaded public military electronics research report content; state that a question cannot be answered if relevant content is not mentioned; clearly mark the release time and source of cited research reports; responses must conform to professional expressions in the military electronics industry, and no undisclosed information shall be fabricatedMilitary electronics research reports have professional and timeliness requirements, to prevent the model from generating false or irrelevant content
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS300 secondsIndividual military electronics research reports contain a large number of charts and data tables, requiring longer processing time for parsing
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE500 MBMilitary electronics research report documents have relatively large file sizes, requiring adaptation to the storage and upload requirements of individual documents

The parameter values provided on this page are conventional recommendations used as a starting point for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require case-by-case analysis, and it is recommended to conduct tests on your own samples before finalizing settings.

Three common configuration errors

  • Symptom: Errors occur during formal dialogue, but no errors are displayed in the preview interface. Cause: Knowledge base synchronization in the formal environment is incomplete, or the value of recallTopK is incorrectly modified in the formal environment, resulting in inconsistent recalled documents between the formal and preview environments.
  • Symptom: No parsing result is displayed after uploading a military electronics research report in the dialogue window, and no error logs are present in the backend. Cause: The UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE configuration is not set to a value adapted to the size of the research reports, resulting in silent truncation of uploaded files.
  • Symptom: Irrelevant content from the civilian electronics industry appears during multi-turn dialogue. Cause: The promptTemplate does not clearly restrict use to only military electronics track research report content, resulting in recalled documents from other fields.

How to confirm configurations are correctly set

  • Upload a test military electronics research report, manually trigger parsing, and verify that the parsed fields include core product, production capacity and other military electronics-specific fields.
  • Initiate a multi-turn dialogue: first ask a question about a single segmented track, then follow up with a question about enterprise dynamics in that track, and verify that responses only relate to research report content for that track.
  • Copy the dialogue content to an external tool, verify that the format meets expectations, and adjust the format requirements in promptTemplate to match the target platform.
  • Check the synchronization status of the knowledge base to confirm that the recall configurations in the formal and preview environments are completely consistent.
