What the Data for This Category Looks Like
Communications equipment research reports primarily come from public disclosure documents of securities firm communications industry research institutes, industry standard organizations, and leading equipment vendors. Update cycles are dominated by quarterly industry panoramic reports and monthly vendor dynamic reports, with temporary updates for reports related to certain hot events. A single document usually includes fields such as base station shipment volume, radio frequency module parameters, and operator centralized procurement winning bid data. Most parameter units are dBm, Mbps, and 100 million yuan. Core data is presented in the form of structured tables nested with paragraph explanations.
Constraints Imposed by These Characteristics on Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering
Communications equipment research reports feature numerous structured parameters and complex unit systems. Multi-turn dialogue must associate parameter units mentioned in previous rounds to avoid unit conversion errors. Quarterly updated report structures require prompts to clearly define retrieval time ranges to avoid retrieving outdated data. Single documents are lengthy with highly subdivided fields, so prompts must constrain the model to only extract fields specified in the current turn during multi-turn dialogue, preventing parameter confusion across device categories. Additionally, multi-turn follow-up questions must retain key information such as vendor names and centralized procurement cycles from the context to ensure subsequent retrieval accuracy.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Key | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
maxContext | 8000–12000 characters | Communications equipment research reports are lengthy on average. Multi-turn dialogue needs to retain vendor and parameter information from follow-up questions to avoid context truncation |
Recall count | Top 6–8 results | Communications equipment research reports have many subdivided fields. Too many retrieved results will cause context redundancy, while too few may miss key centralized procurement or technical parameter data |
Similarity threshold | 0.75–0.85 | Technical parameter descriptions in communications equipment research reports are highly specialized. This threshold filters low-relevance general industry documents while retaining precise matching results for specific scenarios |
Chunk size | 1000–1500 characters | Structured table paragraphs in single research reports are lengthy. Too short a segment length will break parameter association logic, while too long will exceed the single-segment retrieval limit |
enable_history | Enabled | Multi-turn dialogue needs to retain key information such as vendor names and time ranges from previous follow-up questions to ensure context consistency for subsequent retrieval |
prompt_template | Please answer user questions using only the publicly available data mentioned in the retrieved communications equipment research reports, and clearly indicate the publication date of the source document for the data | Communications equipment research reports have strong timeliness. This configuration constrains the model to only use retrieved content and clarify time ranges to avoid fabricating information; this configuration must be enabled in V4.9.7 or later |
The parameter values provided on this page are common starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material format, data volume and business rules. Specific issues require specific analysis, and it is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing.
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Symptom: The model provides irrelevant answers after multi-turn follow-up questions, and fails to associate previously mentioned vendor names. Cause: The
enable_historyconfiguration is not enabled, so previous conversation information is not retained in the context window. - Symptom: Unable to customize the prompt template, and the interface only displays simple parameter adjustment options. Cause: The open-source version in use is V4.8.22, which does not include advanced configuration functions. Upgrade to V4.9.7 or later to resolve this.
- Symptom: Retrieval results confuse dBm and W units for base station power, leading to incorrect parameter calculations. Cause: The prompt does not constrain unit validation for professional communications equipment parameters, resulting in cross-unit calculation errors.
How to Verify Proper Configuration
- Initiate two consecutive follow-up questions: first ask for the base station shipment volume of a specific vendor, then ask for the gross margin of the same vendor in the same period. Confirm that the model associates information for the same vendor.
- Manually adjust the
Similarity thresholdconfiguration, and test changes in retrieval result relevance to confirm the threshold setting meets the matching accuracy requirements for the current scenario. - Upload one old and one new communications equipment research report, use the prompt to specify retrieval of documents from the last 3 months, and confirm that the model only retrieves content within the specified time range.
- View the segmented content parsed by the knowledge base, and confirm that the
Chunk sizesetting does not break the parameter association logic of structured tables.
