Claude Exam Quick Revision 11: Advanced Batch & Extraction

Schema Error vs Semantic Error

  • Schema error: Invalid structure/type.
  • Semantic error: Valid structure but wrong meaning/value.

Remember: JSON Schema does not guarantee semantic correctness.

Self-Validation Fields

{
  "stated_total": 120,
  "calculated_total": 110,
  "conflict_detected": true
}

Expose inconsistencies explicitly.

detected_pattern

Add fields such as:

detected_pattern

Use them to analyse which code patterns repeatedly cause false positives.

Batch custom_id

  • Assign each request a custom_id.
  • Correlate request with response.
  • Identify individual failures.

Resubmit Only Failed Items

100 documents
↓
7 fail
↓
Identify failed custom_id values
↓
Fix only those inputs
↓
Resubmit 7

Context-Limit Failure

If an oversized document fails:

Chunk document
↓
Resubmit failed document

Before Large Batch

Small sample
↓
Refine prompt
↓
Validate
↓
Run large batch

Benefit: Better first-pass success and fewer expensive retries.

SLA Planning

Batch processing can take up to 24 hours.

Work backwards from the required SLA when deciding submission frequency.

Fast Revision


Schema valid ≠ semantically correct.
custom_id = correlation.
Failed subset = resubmit subset.
Oversized document = chunk.
Large batch = test sample first.
