Citation Sources and Traceability for Gas Industry Financial Report Analysis

Financial report data for the gas industry category comes from public periodic financial reports of domestic gas operating enterprises, and industry

What the Data for This Category Looks Like

Financial report data for the gas industry category comes from public periodic financial reports of domestic gas operating enterprises, and industry operation announcement documents released by local housing and urban-rural development departments and energy regulatory agencies. Updates follow fixed cycles of annual, semi-annual and quarterly reports, with documents published 1 to 4 months after the end of the corresponding reporting period.

Document structures include modules such as core financial statements, gas sales volume and price, pipeline network operation and maintenance data, and user scale. Fields involve revenue amount, gas sales volume, pipeline network length, and residential user count, with corresponding units of ten thousand yuan, ten thousand cubic meters, kilometers, and ten thousand households respectively. Most documents are official financial report announcements in PDF format, with some supporting Excel detailed tables.

The fixed-period disclosure rhythm requires the traceability link to be bound to a fixed data source update cycle, to avoid recalling outdated historical data and ensure the timeliness of cited content.

The multi-module document structure requires accurate matching of financial report chapters and operating data sections, to prevent recalling irrelevant non-target announcement content.

Specific field units require synchronous marking of corresponding units during traceability display, to avoid inaccurate cited information due to unit confusion.

PDF format financial report documents have interference elements such as pagination and watermarks, so parsing rules need to be configured to skip irrelevant areas and accurately extract cited fragments.

There may be overlapping content between enterprise financial reports and regulatory announcements, so deduplication logic needs to be configured to avoid repeated display of different versions of the same source.

Configuration Settings

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
dataset_sync_cron0 0 2 * * 1,4Aligns with the disclosure cycle of quarterly, semi-annual and annual gas financial reports, for regular synchronization of the latest data sources
recall_chunk_match_ruleMatch by financial report chapter tagsGas financial reports are divided into fixed chapters, and tag matching can accurately recall target module content
source_cite_unitAutomatically extract units from documentsGas financial report fields have dedicated units, and automatic extraction can avoid labeling errors
parse_pdf_skip_watermarkEnabledMost gas financial report PDFs carry official watermarks; enabling this skips watermark areas to extract valid content
dataset_deduplicate_threshold0.85There is relatively high content overlap between enterprise financial reports and regulatory announcements, and this threshold can effectively perform deduplication
max_cite_countTop 3 entriesCore cited content of gas financial reports is concentrated in no more than 3 key modules, to avoid redundant display

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 case-by-case analysis, and it is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.

Three Common Mistakes

  • Phenomenon: When calling the API with detail: true, it is not possible to parse both knowledge base call parameters and streamed returned citation content at the same time. Cause: The API response parsing logic is not configured correctly, and the simultaneous extraction of query_params and citations fields is not specified.
  • Phenomenon: The cited files output by the knowledge base do not match the actual data sources, and incorrect document links or file names appear. Cause: recall_chunk_match_rule is not configured to match by financial report chapters, resulting in recall of non-target document fragments.
  • Phenomenon: After upgrading to version 4.9.4, even if the citation display switch is turned off, citation content is still returned. Cause: The global citation traceability switch is enabled by default in this version, and the dataset-level citation configuration is not turned off synchronously.

How to Confirm the Configuration Is Complete

  • Manually trigger a dataset synchronization, and check whether the synchronization log only contains the latest financial reports and regulatory documents.
  • Enter a query related to financial reports, and check whether the cited sources of the recalled results only come from target data sources, with no irrelevant documents.
  • Check whether the citations field in the API response contains correct document units and chapter information.
  • Turn off the global citation switch, initiate a query, and confirm that no citation annotation content is included in the returned results.
