Workflow Orchestration for Semiconductor Research Report Retrieval

Semiconductor research report data mainly comes from public reports of domestic securities firm research institutes, third-party semiconductor

What the data for this category looks like

Semiconductor research report data mainly comes from public reports of domestic securities firm research institutes, third-party semiconductor industry data institutions, and global semiconductor industry alliances. Update cycles include regular quarterly reports, semi-annual industry reports, and event-driven ad-hoc reports for new product launches, policy announcements, and similar events. Document structures typically include four parts: core viewpoints, supply and demand data for segmented tracks, corporate revenue breakdowns, and risk warnings. Fields include report number, publishing institution, publish time, covered categories (such as wafer foundry, memory chips), core indicators (such as monthly shipment volume, average selling price ASP), with units mostly industry-specific ones like ten thousand wafers per month, USD per unit, hundred million yuan, and similar units.

What constraints do these characteristics impose on workflow orchestration

The multi-source and dispersed nature of semiconductor research reports requires workflows to be configured with multiple data source pull nodes to cover content from different channels such as securities firms and third-party institutions. The mixed update rhythm of event-driven and scheduled updates requires workflows to support both scheduled triggering and event hook triggering, to avoid missing new research reports. The mixed document structure of long text and structured data requires workflows to first execute a structured parsing node to extract core indicators, then perform vector recall, to ensure retrieval accuracy. Industry-specific fields and units require workflows to be configured with a parameter verification node to filter invalid data that does not comply with unit specifications, to prevent errors in analysis results.

How to set the configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS300–600 secondsSemiconductor research reports contain large amounts of structured tables and long text paragraphs, with longer parsing times than general industry documents
maxRecallCountTop 8–12 entriesSemiconductor segmented tracks have high term concentration; a small number of highly relevant research reports can cover core analysis needs
similarityThreshold0.75–0.85Avoid recalling low-relevance cross-track research reports, matching the semantic matching accuracy of industry segmented terms
workflowTriggerCron0 0 2 * * *Trigger full updates daily at 2 AM, adapting to the overnight update rhythm of securities firm research reports
fileUploadMaxSize500 MBCover storage requirements for single in-depth research reports and supporting data attachments
structuredParseEnableEnabledAutomatically extract structured fields such as production capacity and prices from research reports, adapting to the data characteristics of semiconductor research reports

The parameter values provided on this page are all common recommended starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume and business rules. Specific issues require specific analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing the configuration.

Three common mistakes

  • Phenomenon: An error prompt pops up when entering the editing page after creating a workflow template. Cause: The dedicated data source plugin for semiconductor research reports was not correctly bound during workflow initialization, causing node parameter loading failure.
  • Phenomenon: An error is triggered when clicking the input box after referencing a custom research report retrieval plugin. Cause: The interface authentication key for the semiconductor industry data source was not correctly filled in the plugin configuration, causing interface calls to be blocked.
  • Phenomenon: After Docker deployment, the workflow page displays Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'incl'. Cause: The persistent storage volume for workflow configuration was not correctly mounted, causing the system to fail to read the preset research report parsing rule files.

How to confirm the configuration is complete

  • Run a test workflow, check if the returned research report results include exclusive terms for semiconductor segmented tracks, and verify whether the relevance of the recall results meets expectations.
  • Check the workflow trigger configuration, confirm that the execution cycle of the scheduled task matches the research report update rhythm, and that the event hook is bound to the data source's new notification interface.
  • View the workflow node logs, confirm that no timeout errors occurred during the parsing phase, and whether the structured extracted fields (such as production capacity, average selling price ASP) are complete.
  • Verify the authentication configuration for plugin calls, simulate interface requests to confirm that semiconductor research report data source content can be pulled normally.
