<div><font><div>Thank you very much for your suggestions. I have made the following changes based on your feedback:</div><div><br></div><div>- I have provided detailed descriptions for the two attempts.</div><div>- I have provided a more detailed description of the APIs to be considered in the project.</div><div>- I have removed and modified vague expressions in the proposal, and provided detailed testing plans and optimization strategies.</div><div>- I have adjusted the timeline to be based on weeks.</div><div>- I have further explored the retrieval part of Langchain and found that it is more suitable when building knowledge specific to certain domains, such as constructing chatbots that interact with data and building robots based on personal knowledge bases. Without such requirements, the newly added retrieval function will slow down the response speed of the chatbot and add new dependencies (a vector database must be introduced to store the segmented and processed data). Overall, considering all aspects, I have decided to abandon the retrieval part in the original proposal<font editorwarp__="1" style="display: inline; font-size: 14px; font-family: "lucida Grande", Verdana, "Microsoft YaHei"; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;"> as it seems somewhat redundant for this Sugar project</font>.</div><div>- I have enlarged the font and images, although I am not sure if they appear larger, especially the images (since I am too familiar with the image content, I am not very sensitive to its size).</div><div><br></div><div>Attachment is my modified proposal.Please review, and if there are any further modifications needed, your suggestions are invaluable to me.
