Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompting for Textile and Home Textile Research Report Retrieval

Textile and home textile research report data primarily comes from three channels: the Home Textile Branch of the China National Textile and Apparel

What the Data for This Category Looks Like

Textile and home textile research report data primarily comes from three channels: the Home Textile Branch of the China National Textile and Apparel Council, securities firm research institutes, and professional textile consulting institutions. Industry-wide general data is updated quarterly, while special research reports on leading enterprises are released irregularly alongside annual reports and industry exhibition events. Document structures typically include modules such as overall industry scale, production and sales data for segmented categories, raw material price trends, policy developments, and updates on leading enterprises. Fields cover metrics like revenue, production capacity, and sales volume, with units mostly being ten thousand yuan, ten thousand meters, and ten thousand sets. Some research reports also include tables related to market share for segmented categories.

Constraints Imposed on Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompting

The varied sources of research reports create discrepancies in data caliber, requiring users to clarify their desired data source scope during multi-turn dialogue. The uneven update rhythm means prompts must prioritize recalling the most recently released research reports to avoid outdated data skewing results. The diverse document fields and units require adding a unit verification step in the dialogue flow to prevent the model from confusing measurement standards for different metrics. The relatively long length of individual research reports requires appropriately limiting the context window length to avoid semantic confusion or drift errors in the model.

Configuration Settings

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
maxContext8000–12000 charactersTextile and home textile research reports often contain cross-section production and sales correlation data. An overly long context will cause the model to confuse metrics across different modules
recall_top_kTop 6–8 resultsResearch reports for this category cover multiple segmented dimensions including raw materials, end demand, and policies. Sufficient recall volume is needed to cover core retrieval scenarios
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS300 secondsIndividual in-depth research reports may exceed 50 pages, with long parsing times. Sufficient time must be reserved to complete full parsing
prompt_templatePrioritize referencing research report data marked with a publication time later than the specified time; clearly annotate units for all involved numerical valuesThis category has diverse data units and uneven update frequencies. Unified alignment of data timeliness and measurement standards is required
chunk_size800–1000 charactersResearch reports often contain logical connections across sections. Overly short chunking will destroy semantic integrity, while overly long chunking will increase the model's loading burden
rerank_top_nTop 3–5 resultsThere are many segmented dimensions. Retaining the most relevant research report fragments after reranking improves the accuracy of dialogue responses

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

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Issue: An error The value of "offset" is out of range is returned when calling the dialogue interface. Cause: Irrational configuration of segment offset values after long text parsing causes the model to read fragments beyond the document scope.
  • Issue: Research report data for a specified segmented category cannot be retrieved during dialogue. Cause: The knowledge_base_permission parameter was not configured to restrict access to only the public research report library, leading to unauthorized access to restricted documents.
  • Issue: Only some research reports are included in the retrieval scope after uploading multiple files. Cause: The UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE parameter was not configured correctly, so research reports exceeding the threshold were not parsed by the system.

How to Verify Correct Configuration

  • Upload three textile and home textile research reports with different publication times, initiate a multi-turn dialogue asking for industry data for a specified time period, and verify that the returned results prioritize content from the most recently published research reports.
  • Input a query containing multiple types of metrics, and verify that each returned numerical value clearly annotates its corresponding unit of measurement.
  • Upload a single research report exceeding the preset threshold, initiate a long-text question-and-answer session, and check that no errors such as The value of "offset" is out of range appear.
  • Upload multiple different types of research report files, initiate a multi-turn dialogue, and verify that the retrieval results cover content from research reports of different sources.
