Citation Source and Traceability for Aerospace Equipment

What This Type of Data Looks Like

Aerospace equipment research report data mainly comes from public reports of military industry research institutions, core journals in national defense science and technology, official disclosure documents of military industry groups, and public materials from industry exhibitions. Update rhythm adjusts based on industry event density. Special reports are updated on a regular quarterly basis. Immediate supplements are made after sudden developments such as model project initiation or order announcements. Document structures typically include model parameters, supporting supply chain information, policy interpretations, and market size calculations. Fields include model number, supporting manufacturer, procurement amount (unit: ten thousand yuan), publishing organization, and publication date. Some research reports include test data and production capacity planning details.

Constraints Imposed on Citation Source and Traceability Process

The multi-source and scattered sources of aerospace equipment research reports require the traceability process to mark the original publishing organization and channel, to avoid confusing similar model calculation data from different organizations. Accurate fields for model parameters and supply chain information require citation snippets to match specific models and supporting manufacturers, rather than extracting content broadly. The long document structure and high-density professional data require citation snippets to be accurately positioned to corresponding chapters, to avoid mixing information across chapters. Immediate updates for sudden developments require the traceability process to quickly associate the latest released research report versions, to ensure cited content matches currently public information.

Configuration Settings

Configuration Item	Recommended Value Range	Rationale
`Similarity threshold`	0.75–0.85	Aerospace equipment research reports have many professional terms. This range filters low-relevance general industry content while retaining accurate professional snippets.
`rerank_top_n`	Top 8–12 results	Research report content has high professionality. Reranking filters non-core snippets from initial recall. This range covers sufficient valid content.
`PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	120 seconds	Aerospace equipment research reports often include long tables and professional chart parsing. Sufficient time is needed for text splitting.
`maxContext`	8000–12000 characters	Single research reports have large content volume. Sufficient context is needed to associate related parameters within the same document.
`Citation Fragment Length`	300–500 characters	Professional data requires complete context. This length retains complete associated information for parameters, manufacturers, and dates.
`Recall count`	Top 15–20 results	Initial recall needs to cover different dimensions of multi-source research reports to avoid missing specialized information.

The parameter values provided on this page are general recommendations used as a starting point for configuration. Actual values are affected by material format, data volume, and business rules. Each situation requires specific analysis. It is recommended to test on dedicated test samples before finalizing settings.

Three Common Misconfigurations

Enabling reranking results in empty citation snippets, with no valid content in search results. Cause: The rerank return count is set too low, and the initial recall count does not cover enough professional snippets, resulting in no qualified content after reranking.
Document parsing timeout errors occur when parsing aerospace equipment research reports. Cause: The PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS parameter is not adjusted. The default duration is insufficient to process professional research reports containing long tables.
Customization of citation templates and prompt words is not supported, and only basic AI configuration is available. Cause: The current open-source version is V4.8.22, and this version does not expose the advanced configuration custom template function.

How to Confirm Configuration is Correct

A single aerospace equipment research report should be uploaded, and the parsed text snippet length checked against the Citation Fragment Length setting.
After initiating a search, the number of initial recall snippets is verified to match the Recall count setting, and the number of reranked results confirmed to align with the rerank_top_n configuration.
The traceability information of citation snippets is reviewed, confirming that the research report's publishing organization and publication date are included, and that the snippet content matches the exclusive fields of the target model.
A research report containing long tables is uploaded, and verification performed that no parsing timeout errors are triggered, with the PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS configuration confirmed to take effect.
