Document and Material Drafting for Fiscal Expenditure Performance Evaluation: Document Parsing and Chunking

Document and Material Drafting for Fiscal Expenditure Performance Evaluation: Document Parsing and Chunking

What data for this category looks like

Data sources for this category include the unified budget management system, project application materials, fund payment data, business system ledgers, and satisfaction surveys. The update frequency is annual. Documents processed daily include performance target forms, self-assessment forms, performance evaluation reports, supporting material lists, and rectification reports. Most document structures consist of tables nested with free text. Some supporting materials are in scanned document format. Fields include performance indicators, fund association identifiers, rectification items, and corresponding associations need to be identified using document context.

The annual centralized update feature requires batch processing of multiple documents, which creates requirements for the concurrency capability of parsing tools. Documents contain nested tables and structured fields. When chunking, the context of table rows and associated text must be retained to avoid separating performance indicators from their corresponding supporting explanations. There is a one-to-one correspondence between supporting materials and evaluation reports. Chunking must retain cross-document association identifiers. Some documents are in scanned format, so OCR parsing support is required to extract valid content. Otherwise, a large amount of structured information will be lost.

How to configure

Reference only; verify against the target FastGPT release and deployment documentation.

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
chunkSize800–1200 charactersPerformance evaluation reports contain long paragraphs and nested tables. This range can retain the associated context of indicators and supporting materials
chunkSplitterSplit by paragraph + table boundariesDocuments contain structured tables and free text. Splitting by this rule avoids separating performance indicators from their corresponding supporting explanations
customPdfParseEnable OCR modeSome supporting materials are scanned PDFs. Enabling this mode can extract scanned content
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS300–600 secondsSingle performance evaluation reports have relatively long length. This duration covers the complete parsing process
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE1000 MBFiscal performance documents often contain batch supporting materials. This upper limit covers the maximum file volume for a single batch upload
chunkSettingModeCustom modeNeed to adjust chunking rules for the structured characteristics of fiscal performance documents to adapt to different types of performance documents

Three common mistakes

  • After passing in a public document link, the parsing result is empty and only returns page metadata. Cause: The chunkSplitter is not configured to adapt to the structured extraction rules for web content, and the default parsing rules cannot capture the main body of fiscal performance-related documents.
  • The chunk ID on the knowledge base page cannot be selected and copied. Cause: The interface does not open interactive permissions for this field, and no adaptive configuration is made for the ID display of structured documents.
  • After custom chunking, documents are stored in the knowledge base, and duplicate blocks are automatically deleted, causing the index order to be disrupted. Cause: The knowledge base enables the document chunk deduplication logic by default, and this configuration is not turned off in advance to retain the complete order of custom chunking.

How to confirm the configuration is correct

  • Upload a performance self-assessment form in scanned format, check if the parsing result includes the performance indicators and numerical content in the table.
  • Adjust chunkSize to 1000 characters, upload a long document, check if each chunk after chunking retains the complete performance indicator paragraph.
  • Upload batch documents, check if the parsing time is within the range set by PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS with no timeout errors.
  • After enabling custom chunking, upload a document, confirm that the number of blocks stored in the knowledge base matches the number after custom chunking.
