What Data Looks Like for This Category
Data for internal office and employee services of power generation groups mainly comes from OA systems, production operation and maintenance manuals, safety regulations, employee position manuals, internal notices and other sources. Data update rhythm has two categories: fixed cycle and real-time. Safety regulations are updated quarterly, operation and maintenance manuals are updated monthly, employee manuals are updated annually, and temporary notices are released in real time. Documents include structured fields such as device number, operating parameters, job permissions, and unstructured content such as operation logs, training courseware. Units include MW, hours, person-times and other power industry-specific units.
What Constraints Do These Characteristics Impose on Knowledge Base Retrieval and Recall
Mixed-structure documents require support for both precise field matching and semantic retrieval, to avoid missing structured device parameters or unstructured operation experience content. Long documents such as complete operation regulations can cause excessive token usage after chunking, so adjust chunking and retrieval parameters to control context length. Real-time updated safety notices require the retrieval link to support incremental synchronization, to prevent recalling outdated content. Scenarios with many professional terms need optimized semantic matching accuracy, to avoid mistakenly recalling irrelevant documents.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Basis for This Setting |
|---|---|---|
similarity | 0.75–0.85 | Adapts semantic matching accuracy for power generation group professional terms, balances recall coverage and precision |
limit | Top 8 entries | Balances the number of recall results and context token usage, avoids returning too many long documents in a single retrieval |
usingReRank | Enabled | Performs secondary sorting on recalled results, filters entries with weak semantic relevance, improves large model processing efficiency |
searchMode | hybrid | Combines keyword matching and semantic retrieval, adapts to mixed structured and unstructured documents of power generation groups |
datasetSearchUsingExtensionQuery | Enabled | Performs professional term expansion on user questions, matches synonyms in the power generation field, such as "steam turbine" corresponding to "steam turbine" |
collectionIds | Bound to the exclusive collection for internal office and employee services of power generation groups | Limits retrieval scope, avoids interference from irrelevant data across business collections |
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Phenomenon: Knowledge base semantic retrieval returns multiple results, but the model prompts that no relevant answers were found. Cause: The
limitparameter is not restricted, orusingReRankis not enabled, resulting in too many recalled results, context token exceeding the large model's carrying limit, unable to fully load valid content. - Phenomenon: AI reply results are inconsistent with knowledge base content. Cause:
datasetSearchUsingExtensionQueryis configured incorrectly, excessive expansion of user questions causes retrieval intent to deviate from original requirements, or thesimilarityparameter is set too low, recalling irrelevant documents. - Phenomenon: Retrieval response time is too long. Cause: No reasonable
limitparameter is set, too many long documents are returned in a single retrieval, increasing the time for the large model to load context, triggering timeout errors.
How to Verify Correct Configuration
- Enter the knowledge base retrieval test panel of FastGPT v4.17.0, input a power generation professional question such as "Safety requirements for steam turbine sliding pressure operation", check that the number of returned results matches the
limitparameter setting. - Trigger a complete retrieval process, view the background logs, confirm there are no context token over-limit errors, and the response time meets expectations.
- Adjust the
similarityparameter to 0.8, retrieve questions containing professional terms, confirm that the semantic matching degree of returned results meets business requirements. - Check if
usingReRankis enabled, view whether the sorted results prioritize core business content.
