Citation Source and Traceability for Investment Platform Research Report Retrieval

Research report data for investment platforms primarily comes from licensed securities firm research institutes, public reports from public fund

What the Data for This Category Looks Like

Research report data for investment platforms primarily comes from licensed securities firm research institutes, public reports from public fund investment research departments, and industry associations. Update cadence includes real-time after-hours review reports on workdays, weekly industry tracking reports, and in-depth reports released quarterly and annually. Each individual document includes fixed standard fields: title, publishing institution, release date, industry tag, core financial forecast metrics, risk warning items. Standard financial units such as 100 million yuan and multiples are used for core data. Document length-related content should be determined based on in-house sample statistics or actual testing, as significant variation exists across institutions.

Constraints Imposed on Citation Source and Traceability

The licensed institution attribute of research report sources requires traceability information to include the full name of the publishing institution and official filing identification, to ensure information compliance. The high-frequency update feature requires the traceability link to automatically filter expired historical reports, only retaining research reports within a preset valid release period. The fixed field structure requires precise matching of preset fields such as title and release date during traceability extraction, to avoid extracting irrelevant text. The long document length feature requires the traceability link to support paragraph-level recall and association of corresponding context, to prevent cross-page mismatched citation matching.

Configuration Settings

Configuration ParameterRecommended ValueRationale
recall_top_kTop 8-12 entriesResearch reports on investment platforms have high per-document information density. Too many recalled entries will cause context overflow, while too few will fail to cover core investment arguments
source_field_whitelistTitle, Issuing Organization, Issuing Organization Filing Number, Industry TagThe core traceability compliance fields for investment platform research reports are the four listed above, which can filter irrelevant metadata
expire_days7The valid information cycle for industry tracking reports is 7 days. The default setting fits high-frequency update scenarios, and can be adjusted to 30 for in-depth report scenarios
parse_chunk_size800-1200 charactersProfessional content per research report paragraph has moderate length. This interval ensures complete context association and avoids truncating core financial data
similarity_threshold0.75-0.85Research report content has strong professionalism. A high similarity threshold is required to filter irrelevant recall results and avoid invalid matching
show_reference_in_chatEnabledUsers of investment platforms require clear traceability information to support investment decisions. Complete citation sources must be displayed on the official chat page

The parameter values provided on this page are common 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 actual testing on in-house samples before finalizing settings.

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Phenomenon: Citation sources are not displayed on the official chat page, but display normally on the debugging page. Cause: The show_reference_in_chat configuration item is not enabled, or the configuration item is not correctly synchronized to the production environment.
  • Phenomenon: The number of recalled research reports exceeds the recall_top_k configuration value. Cause: The expire_days parameter is not configured, and expired historical research reports are recalled together, causing the total number of entries to exceed the preset limit.
  • Phenomenon: The recalled research report content is misaligned with the original paragraph. Cause: The parse_chunk_size setting exceeds the reasonable interval for single-paragraph content of research reports, leading to broken context association and mismatched matching.

How to Confirm Proper Configuration

  • Initiate a query targeting industry research reports, check the citation module of the returned results, and confirm that the preset traceability fields are included.
  • Adjust the expire_days parameter, then query keywords associated with research reports that exceed the preset expiration cycle, and confirm that expired documents are not recalled.
  • Check the configuration items in the production environment, confirm that show_reference_in_chat is enabled and consistent with the configuration in the debugging environment.
  • Test queries for research reports on different topics, confirm that the recalled paragraphs match the original content without misalignment.
