What the data for this category looks like
Paint and ink research report data sources include public monthly monitoring data from the China Coatings Industry Association, securities firm research reports for the domestic basic chemical industry, quarterly financial reports of listed paint and ink enterprises, and public reports from professional chemical supply chain databases. Industry monitoring data updates monthly. Securities firm research reports update alongside industry events or financial report release cycles. Enterprise financial reports release quarterly and annually. A single research report usually includes four sections: raw material supply chain, production end, downstream applications, and policy compliance. Core fields include raw material name, origin, specification, transaction price (unit: yuan/ton), total production capacity, current period output (unit: 10,000 tons), and shipment share values divided by application field.
What constraints do these characteristics impose on multi-turn dialogue and prompting
The monthly update property of paint and ink research reports requires multi-turn dialogue to retain context information from the last 30 days. This prevents answer bias caused by expired historical data. Single research reports have large content volumes and multi-dimensional segmented fields. Multi-turn dialogue must limit recall scope to user-specified segmented dimensions. This avoids irrelevant content interfering with answers. Data calibers vary across different sources. Prompts must clearly require annotating data sources in answers. They must also guide users to confirm data calibers during multi-turn interactions to match requirements. Downstream application scenarios are segmented. Prompts must preset field mapping rules for segmented categories such as wood coatings and packaging inks. This ensures answers accurately correspond to user-focused application directions.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
maxContext | 8000–12000 characters | Paint and ink research reports have long individual content. This range accommodates multi-turn interaction history and retrieved report snippets, avoiding context truncation |
RECALL_TOP_N | Top 6–10 entries | Research reports have many segmented fields. An appropriate number of recall entries covers user questions across different dimensions, avoiding missing key information |
PARSE_CHUNK_SIZE | 800–1000 characters | Fields in paint and ink research reports are closely linked. Too long a segment loses contextual association, while too short a segment breaks field integrity |
similarity_threshold | 0.75–0.85 | Filters irrelevant report snippets, retaining only content strongly related to user questions. This adapts to precise query requirements in segmented fields |
LOG_DETAIL_SYNC_INTERVAL | Sync after each dialogue turn | Ensures interaction content from each dialogue turn is accurately recorded, preventing mismatches between logs and actual answer content |
stream_response | Enabled | Research report content is usually lengthy. Streaming output improves user interaction experience during waiting periods |
The parameter values provided on this page are 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 values.
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Phenomenon: When calling the v4.8.10 dialogue API and viewing dialogue log details, the content of all turns is identical to the first answer. Cause: The
LOG_DETAIL_SYNC_INTERVALparameter is not configured correctly, causing logs to not update per dialogue turn and only retain content from the first request. - Phenomenon: When streaming dialogue output, clicking research report links in the result only overwrites the current page and does not open a new tab. Cause: The new window trigger rule is not configured in the streaming output callback logic, so links use current-page redirection by default.
- Phenomenon: When asking for raw material prices for different categories multiple times during multi-turn dialogue, answers always return quotes for the same raw material category. Cause: No segmented dimension limit is set for
RECALL_TOP_N. Redundant content from historical dialogue overrides new user query keywords, causing the model to fail to match correct report snippets.
How to Verify Proper Configuration
- Initiate a test dialogue with multiple follow-up questions. Check that each turn's interaction content in the log details matches the actual answer, confirming the
LOG_DETAIL_SYNC_INTERVALconfiguration takes effect. - Call the streaming output interface. Click links in the returned content to verify they open new pages as expected, confirming the callback logic is configured correctly.
- Upload multiple paint and ink research reports from different time periods. Initiate multiple rounds of price queries. Check that retrieved report data corresponds to the latest time periods, confirming
maxContextand recall parameters match requirements. - Adjust the similarity threshold parameter. Initiate a query with fuzzy keywords. Check that the relevance of recall results meets expectations, confirming the threshold configuration is reasonable.
