Steps to reproduce

My knowledge base contains a chunk/section with the phrase '修改教材', yet the recall test consistently yields no results. I have experimented with adjusting every available retrieval strategy, but the segment still cannot be retrieved

✔️ Expected Behavior

The segment containing "修改教材" should be retrieved and displayed.

❌ Actual Behavior

The recall test returns an empty list. The segment containing "修改教材" is never retrieved, regardless of adjustments to retrieval modes, weighting, or TopK/Score threshold parameters.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Adjusting the retrieval strategy parameters, such as weighting or TopK/Score threshold, may not be sufficient to retrieve the segment containing "修改教材", and a more detailed examination of the knowledge base and retrieval algorithm is needed.

Guidance

  • Verify that the segment containing "修改教材" is correctly indexed and stored in the knowledge base.
  • Check the character encoding and formatting of the segment to ensure it matches the expected format.
  • Review the retrieval algorithm to ensure it is correctly handling non-English characters and phrases.
  • Consider testing the retrieval with a simplified query or a different retrieval strategy to isolate the issue.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient technical details.

Notes

The issue may be related to the handling of non-English characters or the specific retrieval strategy used. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try using a different retrieval strategy or adjusting the query to see if the segment can be retrieved. This may help isolate the issue and provide more information for further debugging.
