RAGMap prototype — proposal support

1. Query

student electronics fabrication

Generated: 2026-06-01 17:31:04 UTC

2. Transparent synonym expansion

Warning: Synonym expansion is transparent keyword expansion from data/search_synonyms.yaml, not semantic reasoning. Synonym matches do not prove collaboration, resource use, or expertise.

Original query: student electronics fabrication

Original terms (length > 2): student, electronics, fabrication

Activated synonym concepts: electronics_instrumentation, fabrication

Expanded terms used (synonym only): 3d printing, build projects, circuits, cnc, data acquisition, fpga, instrumentation, laser cutting, machine shop, makerspace, microcontroller, pcb, prototyping, sensors, signal processing, soldering

Scoring note: Exact phrase from the original query scores highest; individual query keywords score high; synonym terms score lower; graph-connected entity bonuses are small (+2 direct neighbor, +1 affiliation) and listed separately. Synonym matches never create graph edges.

3. Analysis date

2026-06-01

4. Filters used

  • Transparent keyword matching (not semantic / LLM search)
  • Synonym expansion: enabled from data/search_synonyms.yaml (2 concept(s) activated; synonym hits score lower than exact query matches)
  • include_in_graph=true edges used for small graph expansion bonuses only (not synonym-driven)
  • Topical edges: excluded
  • Graph expansion: direct (+2) + affiliation (+1); no topical/admin/excluded
  • UNI-001 deprioritized in resource rankings (administrative hub)
  • Affiliation does not imply collaboration; publication authorship alone is not facility use
  • Synonym matches are not evidence of collaboration or resource use

11. Evidence snippets

See per-entity sections above (YAML evidence_text, resource Markdown, course rationales). URLs are not fetched.

12. What is missing from the current data

  • Full-text grant abstracts and ORS purchasing fields are not in the public repo.
  • Many publications lack publication–resource edges (facility use not proven).
  • Course catalog not fully linked to facilities (only documented links in YAML).
  • No embedding model or semantic similarity (synonyms are hand-curated keywords only).

13. What ORS or purchasing data could improve the answer

See internal-data-wishlist.md: award amounts, equipment purchases tied to resource IDs, PI history, and facility keywords from proposals.

14. Human-review cautions

  • Do not treat affiliation edges as collaboration.
  • Do not claim facility use from authorship alone.
  • Do not treat synonym matches as collaboration or resource use.
  • Topical collaborator edges are excluded unless --include-topical was passed.
  • UNI-001 is administrative; prefer specific lab/center resource IDs.
  • Low scores may reflect missing keywords in notes, not absence of capability.
  • Edit data/search_synonyms.yaml to tune expansion; over-broad groups can add noise.
