Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering for Thermal Coal Financing Daily Reports

Thermal coal financing daily report data is sourced from domestic coal spot trading platforms, northern port scheduling logs, and financial

What the Data for This Category Looks Like

Thermal coal financing daily report data is sourced from domestic coal spot trading platforms, northern port scheduling logs, and financial institution supply chain financing logs, and is updated each morning. The document structure includes that day’s production area listed prices, northern port free on board (FOB) prices, cross-region transportation volumes, supply chain financing reference cost ranges, and summaries of that day’s financing transaction cases. Price fields use yuan/ton as the unit. Transportation volume fields use 10,000 metric tons as the unit. Financing-related fields are presented as specific amount ranges from that day’s transaction cases, with no fixed standardized percentage format.

Constraints Imposed by These Characteristics on Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering

The daily update requirement means multi-turn dialogue must only call that day’s data sources to avoid returning expired information. The scattered multi-field structure results in user questions only covering some query dimensions, requiring multi-turn dialogue to gradually guide the supplementation of parameters including production area, port, and financing type. The non-standardized presentation of daily financing transaction case summaries requires prompts to explicitly limit extraction to that day’s content, and prohibit referencing historical data. The unit differences across fields require clear explanations of unit meanings during dialogue to prevent user confusion.

Configuration Settings

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
maxContext8000–12000 charactersThermal coal financing daily reports contain multiple scattered fields, so previously obtained query parameters from multi-turn dialogue must be retained
systemPromptOnly use the daily updated thermal coal financing daily report data to answer questions. Prompt the user to supplement query dimensions when corresponding data is not obtainedAligns with the daily update property of the data, and limits the data source scope
toolCallMaxRetries2 timesBalances tool call success rate and timeout risk, and avoids resource occupation from repeated calls
retrievalSimilarityThreshold0.75–0.85Filters low-relevance historical data to accurately recall that day’s financing-related content
voiceRecognitionModelOfficial built-in speech-to-text modelAdapts to the platform’s native capabilities, and resolves the issue of no text conversion in voice conversations
maxTokens2000–3000 charactersCovers the output requirements of multiple sets of financing data, and prevents content truncation

The parameter values provided on this page are common starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require specific analysis, and it is recommended to test on relevant internal samples before finalizing settings.

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Symptom: No text conversion content is generated after voice conversations when voice input is enabled. Cause: The voiceRecognitionModel parameter is not configured, or an unadapted third-party model is used.
  • Symptom: Query parameters extracted during multi-turn dialogue do not match the user’s actual needs. Cause: The system prompt does not explicitly guide gradual supplementation of query dimensions, or the maxContext configuration is too small, resulting in loss of previously obtained parameters from the conversation context.
  • Symptom: Returned results include non-current historical thermal coal financing data. Cause: The retrievalSimilarityThreshold is set too low, resulting in recall of expired documents, or the system prompt does not limit usage to only that day’s data.

How to Verify Correct Configuration

  • Initiate a voice query, confirm that the transcribed content matches the submitted voice input, and adjust the voiceRecognitionModel configuration until the expected outcome is achieved.
  • Initiate multi-turn queries: first ask about thermal coal financing conditions for a specific production area, then supplement with port query data, check if the conversation context retains the previously submitted query parameters, and adjust the maxContext configuration until the expected outcome is achieved.
  • Initiate a query for that day’s thermal coal financing data, confirm that the returned results only include that day’s updated content, and adjust the systemPrompt configuration until the expected outcome is achieved.
  • Simulate a tool call failure scenario, confirm that the configured number of retries is executed, and adjust the toolCallMaxRetries configuration until the expected outcome is achieved.
