What the data for this category looks like
Data sources related to metallurgical coal financial reports include coal industry monthly statistical materials, metallurgical coal major producing region supply and demand monitoring reports, periodic disclosure reports of listed coal enterprises, and bulk commodity spot price data. Update frequency: industry materials are updated monthly, listed company financial reports are disclosed quarterly and annually, and spot price data is updated daily. Most documents are in PDF format. Industry reports include fields such as output, sales volume, average price, port inventory, and import and export volume, with units mostly ten thousand tons and yuan/ton. Listed company financial reports include fields related to revenue, cost, and business proportion, with units mostly ten thousand yuan and yuan/ton.
How these characteristics impose constraints on the citation and traceability process
Mixed multi-source data, differentiated update frequencies and format characteristics of the metallurgical coal category create multiple constraints for the citation and traceability process. Differences in data credibility across sources require configuring weight rules to distinguish citation priorities between industry monitoring data and enterprise financial reports. Differentiated update frequencies require filtering recalled results by time range to avoid using daily updated spot data for quarterly financial report analysis. Diverse document formats require adapting different parsing logic to ensure extracted citation content accurately corresponds to the metallurgical coal business module in financial reports. Differences in unit systems require clearly marking the measurement standards corresponding to the source in traceability information to avoid confusion.
How to set the configurations
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
Recall count | Top 8–12 entries | Valid data sources for metallurgical coal financial report analysis cover industry reports, enterprise financial reports and other types. Excessive recall will introduce irrelevant coal category data, while insufficient recall cannot cover complete analysis dimensions |
Similarity threshold | 0.75–0.85 | Terminology related to metallurgical coal has high recognition. A threshold that is too low will introduce coal data from non-metallurgical coal categories, while a threshold that is too high may miss valid related content |
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | 120 seconds | Metallurgical coal industry PDF reports usually have a large number of pages, resulting in long parsing time. Timeout will cause some documents to fail to be indexed successfully |
maxContext | 6000–8000 characters | Metallurgical coal financial report analysis needs to associate multiple segments of business data. An overly long context will increase reasoning burden, while an overly short context cannot cover complete analysis logic |
Citation Count Limit | 5–7 entries | The core data sources for metallurgical coal financial report analysis are limited. Excessive citations will disperse the focus of analysis, while insufficient citations cannot support complete conclusions |
recall_time_range | Last 12 Months | Supply and demand in the metallurgical coal industry change rapidly. Financial report analysis needs to use recent data, and historical data that is too old has low reference value |
The parameter values provided on this page are conventional recommendations used as a starting point 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 the configuration.
Three Common Mistakes
- Phenomenon: The citation source list is displayed on the debug page, but the citation field is empty in the officially released chat page. Cause: The
Citation source display toggleis not enabled, or the configured display rules are not synchronized to the official workflow node. - Phenomenon: The number of cited references recalled by the knowledge base exceeds the preset range of 5–7. Cause: Confuse the two parameters
Recall countandCitation Count Limit, set the recall count as the limit for citation display. - Phenomenon: The metallurgical coal business fields extracted from knowledge base citations are empty. Cause: No field extraction rules adapted to metallurgical coal financial report documents are configured, resulting in the parsed content failing to be correctly mapped.
How to Confirm Proper Configuration
- Upload a metallurgical coal industry monthly report document, trigger knowledge base indexing, check if the parsed fields cover metallurgical coal-related business indicators, and confirm that the parsing rules are adapted to the category characteristics.
- Initiate a test conversation for metallurgical coal financial report analysis, view the displayed citation sources in the returned results, and confirm that they match the configured display rules.
- Adjust the parameter configuration, compare the number and relevance of recalled results under different settings, and confirm that they meet the requirements of metallurgical coal financial report analysis.
- Check the workflow running logs, confirm that no timeout error is triggered during document parsing, and all configuration parameters have taken effect.
