What the data for this category looks like
Hotel catering financing daily report data comes from three main sources: local business district merchant financing reporting systems, daily financing summaries from catering industry associations, and financing filing platforms for chain catering brands.
Data updates occur once per day. The system completes collection and verification of same-day merchant financing information by 18:00 each day.
Each daily report document includes six core fields: full merchant name, affiliated business district, financing amount, financing purpose, linked financial institution, and reporting date. Some documents include additional business operation tags, such as full-service dining, fast casual, on-site catering for homestays, and similar categories.
Financing amount is measured in ten thousand yuan. Reporting dates use the YYYY-MM-DD format to ensure consistent time tracking.
What constraints do these characteristics impose on the reference sources and traceability link?
The daily update requirement means traceability must bind to the data source version for the corresponding date, to avoid mixing data across cycles.
Precise matching of core fields requires limiting matching rules for merchant names and business districts during recall. Otherwise, invalid cross-district citations will occur.
Consistent unit for financing amount requires verifying the field unit during traceability, to prevent citation errors caused by mixing "yuan" and "ten thousand yuan".
Multi-source data structure requires adding a unique identifier for each reporting channel. This ensures the original reporting subject can be accurately located during traceability.
Single documents have high information density. When segmenting content, complete associations between financing subjects and sources must be retained. Splitting content will otherwise lose traceability links and compromise citation accuracy.
How to set the configurations
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
top_k | Top 6-8 results | The valid chunk count for a single hotel catering financing daily report document is typically 5-7. Recalling 6-8 results covers complete financing information while avoiding redundancy |
similarity_threshold | 0.72-0.80 | The core fields of financing daily reports are merchant name and financing amount. A threshold that is too low will recall financing data from unrelated business districts; a threshold that is too high will miss valid entries from the same business district |
chunk_size | 800-1200 characters | The core information of a single financing daily report is approximately 500-900 characters. Setting the segment length to 800-1200 characters retains complete financing subject and source information |
reference_mode | Trace by document source tag | The data sources for hotel catering financing daily reports are mostly daily updated industry reports. Tracing by document source tag accurately associates daily reported data with corresponding merchants |
parse_timeout | 300 seconds | When batch uploading monthly financing daily report collections, the parsing time for a single file typically exceeds 120 seconds. Setting 300 seconds avoids parsing interruptions |
rerank_top_k | Top 3-4 results | The core information of financing daily reports is concentrated in the top 3 highly matched results. Returning 3-4 results after reranking ensures traceability accuracy |
The parameter values provided on this page are common recommended starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material format, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require individual analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three common mistakes
- Symptom: After setting
reference_modeto disabled, reference sources are still displayed in responses. Cause: In FastGPT 4.9.4, there is a priority conflict between the globalreference_modesetting and the individual knowledge base setting, and the independent configuration of the knowledge base was not updated synchronously. - Symptom: Cross-district hotel catering financing data appears in traceability results. Cause: No reasonable range for
similarity_thresholdwas set, or exact matching of the business district field was not included in recall rules. - Symptom: The financing daily report date cited in responses does not match the current query's report cycle. Cause: No data source version binding configuration was enabled, resulting in recall of daily report data from previous cycles.
How to confirm correct configuration
- Upload a single hotel catering financing daily report document, initiate a query that includes merchant name and financing amount, check if the reference sources displayed at the bottom of the response include the document's file name and reporting date.
- Adjust
similarity_thresholdto 0.65, initiate a cross-district query, confirm that no financing data from unrelated business districts is recalled. - Disable the global reference switch, initiate a query, confirm that no reference source content is displayed in the response.
- Upload a monthly collection of financing daily report documents, check that the traceability tag for each chunk corresponds to the correct individual daily report.
