What the data for this category looks like
Data for industrial metal research reports is sourced from nonferrous metals industry associations, domestic futures exchanges, and leading securities firm nonferrous metal research teams. Update cadences cover three categories: daily (spot prices, weekly inventory reports), monthly (supply and demand balance sheets), and annual (industry outlooks). Each report follows a fixed structure, including four sections: core summary, supply and demand data module, price trend analysis, and policy updates. Fields include LME copper price (unit: USD/ton), domestic electrolytic aluminum inventory (unit: 10,000 tons), smelting capacity (unit: 10,000 tons/year), plus metadata such as publishing institution, publication date, and data statistics period.
What These Characteristics Mean for Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering
Multiple update cycles apply to industrial metal research report data. Explicitly specify statistical periods during multi-turn dialogue, otherwise weekly and monthly data may be mixed. The fixed document structure requires prompts to guide retrieval to focus on core modules such as supply and demand, price, and inventory, to avoid ineffective recall. Specific units and field rules require retaining unit consistency in the multi-turn dialogue context window, to prevent mixing USD/ton and CNY/kg. Multi-source data traceability requires each returned result to include publishing institution and publication date, to meet the rigorous verification requirements of industrial metal industry data.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
maxContext | 8000–12000 characters | Industrial metal research reports have long individual content. Multi-turn dialogue must retain context such as query time and category restrictions across rounds to avoid context overflow |
recall_top_k | Top 8–12 results | Core data of industrial metal research reports is scattered across different documents. Sufficient recall coverage is required while avoiding redundant content interfering with results |
chunk_size | 1000–1500 characters | The supply and demand module sections of industrial metal research reports are long. Too short segmentation will destroy data relevance, while too long segmentation will reduce retrieval accuracy |
prompt_template | Fixed inclusion of "Please label data sources and release times, and uniformly use the standard units originally included in the document" | Industrial metal data has diverse units. Mandatory unified standard unit output is required, while meeting traceability requirements |
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | 600 seconds | Individual industrial metal research reports may exceed 100 pages, with long parsing time. Extended timeout is required to avoid parsing failures |
response_citation | Enabled | Industrial metal industry data requires traceability. Enabling the citation function meets compliance and verification needs |
The parameter values provided on this page are common recommended starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material format, data volume and business rules. Specific issues require individual analysis, and it is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing.
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Phenomenon: After enabling the citation function, some dialogue return results include citation identifiers, and the interface displays the error "No permission to operate this conversation record". Citation display cannot be manually closed. Cause: Permission parameters for
response_citationare not configured correctly, causing a conflict between citation display logic and dialogue permission verification. - Phenomenon: During multi-turn dialogue, consecutive queries for industrial metal data of different periods result in mixed units, such as both USD/ton and CNY/kg appearing. Cause: The prompt does not enforce unified unit requirements, and the context window does not retain unit consistency rules.
- Phenomenon: Setting an overly high
recall_top_kparameter results in a large amount of non-industrial metal content, such as irrelevant coal and steel data, appearing in returned research report fragments. Cause: The retrieval scope is not limited to the industrial metal category in theprompt_template, and no category filtering is applied to recalled documents.
How to Verify Correct Configuration
- Initiate a composite query covering electrolytic aluminum inventory and LME copper price. Verify that returned results use unified units, and each data entry includes its source and publication time.
- Run three consecutive queries targeting weekly, monthly, and annual industrial metal supply and demand data respectively. Verify that multi-turn context does not mix data periods.
- Upload an industrial metal research report exceeding 100 pages. Verify that file parsing does not time out, and segmented content fully retains supply and demand logic relevance.
- Attempt to disable the citation display function. Verify that no permission error appears on the interface, and citation identifiers can be hidden as needed.
