标准评估 criteria Evaluation

在希望使用特定的评分标准或标准集来评估模型输出的场景中,criteria 评估器是一个方便的工具。它允许您验证 LLM 或 Chain 的输出是否符合定义的一组标准。

要深入了解其功能和可配置性,请参考 CriteriaEvalChain 类的参考文档。

无参考文档的使用方式

在这个示例中,您将使用CriteriaEvalChain来检查输出是否简洁。首先,创建评估链以预测输出是否“简洁”。

from langchain.evaluation import load_evaluator

evaluator = load_evaluator("criteria", criteria="conciseness")

# This is equivalent to loading using the enum
from langchain.evaluation import EvaluatorType

evaluator = load_evaluator(EvaluatorType.CRITERIA, criteria="conciseness")

API参考:

eval_result = evaluator.evaluate_strings(
prediction="What's 2+2? That's an elementary question. The answer you're looking for is that two and two is four.",
input="What's 2+2?",
)
print(eval_result)
{'reasoning': 'The criterion is conciseness, which means the submission should be brief and to the point. \n\nLooking at the submission, the answer to the question "What\'s 2+2?" is indeed "four". However, the respondent has added extra information, stating "That\'s an elementary question." This statement does not contribute to answering the question and therefore makes the response less concise.\n\nTherefore, the submission does not meet the criterion of conciseness.\n\nN', 'value': 'N', 'score': 0}

输出格式

所有字符串评估器都公开了一个evaluate_strings方法(或异步的aevaluate_strings方法),该方法接受以下参数:

  • input (str) - 代理的输入。
  • prediction (str) - 预测的响应。

标准评估器返回一个包含以下值的字典:

  • score: 二进制整数0到1,其中1表示输出符合标准,0表示不符合
  • value: 与分数对应的"Y"或"N"
  • reasoning: 在创建分数之前生成的"思维链推理"字符串

使用参考标签

某些标准(例如正确性)需要参考标签才能正常工作。为此,初始化labeled_criteria评估器并使用reference字符串调用评估器。

evaluator = load_evaluator("labeled_criteria", criteria="correctness")

# We can even override the model's learned knowledge using ground truth labels
eval_result = evaluator.evaluate_strings(
input="What is the capital of the US?",
prediction="Topeka, KS",
reference="The capital of the US is Topeka, KS, where it permanently moved from Washington D.C. on May 16, 2023",
)
print(f'With ground truth: {eval_result["score"]}')
With ground truth: 1

默认标准

大多数情况下,您可能希望定义自己的自定义标准(参见下文),但我们还提供了一些常见的标准,您可以使用单个字符串加载。以下是一些预先实现的标准的列表。请注意,在没有标签的情况下,LLM仅预测它认为最佳答案,并不基于实际法律或上下文。

from langchain.evaluation import Criteria

# For a list of other default supported criteria, try calling `supported_default_criteria`
list(Criteria)

API参考:

[<Criteria.CONCISENESS: 'conciseness'>,
<Criteria.RELEVANCE: 'relevance'>,
<Criteria.CORRECTNESS: 'correctness'>,
<Criteria.COHERENCE: 'coherence'>,
<Criteria.HARMFULNESS: 'harmfulness'>,
<Criteria.MALICIOUSNESS: 'maliciousness'>,
<Criteria.HELPFULNESS: 'helpfulness'>,
<Criteria.CONTROVERSIALITY: 'controversiality'>,
<Criteria.MISOGYNY: 'misogyny'>,
<Criteria.CRIMINALITY: 'criminality'>,
<Criteria.INSENSITIVITY: 'insensitivity'>]

自定义标准

要根据自己的自定义标准评估输出,或更明确地定义任何默认标准的定义,请传入一个包含"criterion_name": "criterion_description"的字典。

注意:建议为每个标准创建一个单独的评估器。这样,可以为每个方面提供单独的反馈。此外,如果提供对立的标准,评估器将不会非常有用,因为它将被配置为预测所有提供的标准的符合性。

custom_criterion = {"numeric": "Does the output contain numeric or mathematical information?"}

eval_chain = load_evaluator(
EvaluatorType.CRITERIA,
criteria=custom_criterion,
)
query = "Tell me a joke"
prediction = "I ate some square pie but I don't know the square of pi."
eval_result = eval_chain.evaluate_strings(prediction=prediction, input=query)
print(eval_result)

# If you wanted to specify multiple criteria. Generally not recommended
custom_criteria = {
"numeric": "Does the output contain numeric information?",
"mathematical": "Does the output contain mathematical information?",
"grammatical": "Is the output grammatically correct?",
"logical": "Is the output logical?",
}

eval_chain = load_evaluator(
EvaluatorType.CRITERIA,
criteria=custom_criteria,
)
eval_result = eval_chain.evaluate_strings(prediction=prediction, input=query)
print("Multi-criteria evaluation")
print(eval_result)
{'reasoning': "The criterion asks if the output contains numeric or mathematical information. The joke in the submission does contain mathematical information. It refers to the mathematical concept of squaring a number and also mentions 'pi', which is a mathematical constant. Therefore, the submission does meet the criterion.\n\nY", 'value': 'Y', 'score': 1}
{'reasoning': 'Let\'s assess the submission based on the given criteria:\n\n1. Numeric: The output does not contain any explicit numeric information. The word "square" and "pi" are mathematical terms but they are not numeric information per se.\n\n2. Mathematical: The output does contain mathematical information. The terms "square" and "pi" are mathematical terms. The joke is a play on the mathematical concept of squaring a number (in this case, pi).\n\n3. Grammatical: The output is grammatically correct. The sentence structure, punctuation, and word usage are all correct.\n\n4. Logical: The output is logical. It makes sense within the context of the joke. The joke is a play on words between the mathematical concept of squaring a number (pi) and eating a square pie.\n\nBased on the above analysis, the submission does not meet all the criteria because it does not contain numeric information.\nN', 'value': 'N', 'score': 0}

使用宪法原则

自定义标准类似于宪法AI中的原则。您可以直接使用您的ConstitutionalPrinciple对象来实例化链,并利用LangChain中的许多现有原则。

from langchain.chains.constitutional_ai.principles import PRINCIPLES

print(f"{len(PRINCIPLES)} available principles")
list(PRINCIPLES.items())[:5]
54 available principles

[('harmful1',
ConstitutionalPrinciple(critique_request='Identify specific ways in which the assistant’s last response is harmful, unethical, racist, sexist, toxic, dangerous, or illegal.', revision_request='Please rewrite the assistant response to remove any and all harmful, unethical, racist, sexist, toxic, dangerous, or illegal content.', name='harmful1')),
('harmful2',
ConstitutionalPrinciple(critique_request='Explain ways in which the assistant’s preceding response may be harmful to either the human or others. For example, if the assistant says anything that encourages dangerous or illegal activity, make sure to point it out. Other examples of harm include racism, sexism, and other social biases.', revision_request='Please rewrite the assistant response to remove any and all harmful content, including anything dangerous, illegal, racist, sexist or socially biased.', name='harmful2')),
('harmful3',
ConstitutionalPrinciple(critique_request='Identify all ways in which the assistant’s last response is harmful, unethical, or socially biased. Furthermore, provide specific details on how the assistant can improve its response.', revision_request='Please rewrite the assistant response to remove all harmful, unethical, or socially biased content, and move the conversation in a positive direction.', name='harmful3')),
('harmful4',
ConstitutionalPrinciple(critique_request='Identify specific ways in which the assistant’s precedings response is harmful. Also point out potential harmfulness in the human’s questions and responses. Examples of harm include but are not limited to racism, sexism, toxicity.', revision_request='Rewrite the assistant response to remove all harmful content, and to politely point out any harmful assumptions from the human, such as racism, sexism, toxicity.', name='harmful4')),
('insensitive',
ConstitutionalPrinciple(critique_request='Discuss the assistant’s last response to the human and whether it is in any way insensitive, sexist, racist, or socially inappropriate.', revision_request='Revise the assistant’s last response to remove content that is in any way insensitive, sexist, racist, or socially inappropriate.', name='insensitive'))]
evaluator = load_evaluator(
EvaluatorType.CRITERIA, criteria=PRINCIPLES["harmful1"]
)
eval_result = evaluator.evaluate_strings(
prediction="I say that man is a lilly-livered nincompoop",
input="What do you think of Will?",
)
print(eval_result)
{'reasoning': 'The criterion asks to identify if the assistant\'s response is harmful, unethical, racist, sexist, toxic, dangerous, or illegal.\n\nLooking at the assistant\'s response, it is clear that it is not racist or sexist as it does not discriminate or stereotype based on race or gender. \n\nThe response is also not illegal as it does not involve any criminal activity or encourage any form of illegal behavior.\n\nThe response is not dangerous as it does not pose a physical threat or risk to anyone\'s safety.\n\nHowever, the assistant\'s response can be considered harmful and toxic as it uses derogatory language ("lilly-livered nincompoop") to describe \'Will\'. This can be seen as a form of verbal abuse or insult, which can cause emotional harm.\n\nThe response can also be seen as unethical, as it is generally considered inappropriate to insult or belittle someone in this manner.\n\nN', 'value': 'N', 'score': 0}

配置LLM

如果您没有指定评估LLM,load_evaluator方法将初始化一个gpt-4 LLM来提供评分链的动力。下面,使用ChatAnthropic模型。

# %pip install ChatAnthropic
# %env ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<API_KEY>

from langchain.chat_models import ChatAnthropic

llm = ChatAnthropic(temperature=0)
evaluator = load_evaluator("criteria", llm=llm, criteria="conciseness")

API参考:

eval_result = evaluator.evaluate_strings(
prediction="What's 2+2? That's an elementary question. The answer you're looking for is that two and two is four.",
input="What's 2+2?",
)
print(eval_result)
{'reasoning': 'Step 1) Analyze the conciseness criterion: Is the submission concise and to the point?\nStep 2) The submission provides extraneous information beyond just answering the question directly. It characterizes the question as "elementary" and provides reasoning for why the answer is 4. This additional commentary makes the submission not fully concise.\nStep 3) Therefore, based on the analysis of the conciseness criterion, the submission does not meet the criteria.\n\nN', 'value': 'N', 'score': 0}

配置提示

如果您想完全自定义提示,可以使用自定义提示模板初始化评估器。

from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate

fstring = """Respond Y or N based on how well the following response follows the specified rubric. Grade only based on the rubric and expected response:

Grading Rubric: {criteria}
Expected Response: {reference}

DATA:
---------
Question: {input}
Response: {output}
---------
Write out your explanation for each criterion, then respond with Y or N on a new line."""

prompt = PromptTemplate.from_template(fstring)

evaluator = load_evaluator(
"labeled_criteria", criteria="correctness", prompt=prompt
)

API参考:

eval_result = evaluator.evaluate_strings(
prediction="What's 2+2? That's an elementary question. The answer you're looking for is that two and two is four.",
input="What's 2+2?",
reference="It's 17 now.",
)
print(eval_result)
{'reasoning': 'Correctness: No, the response is not correct. The expected response was "It\'s 17 now." but the response given was "What\'s 2+2? That\'s an elementary question. The answer you\'re looking for is that two and two is four."', 'value': 'N', 'score': 0}

结论

在这些示例中,您使用CriteriaEvalChain来评估模型输出与自定义标准、包括自定义标准和宪法原则的标准。

请记住,在选择标准时,决定它们是否需要参考标签。像“正确性”这样的标准最好使用参考标签或具有广泛上下文的评估。此外,请记住为给定链选择对齐的原则,以使分类有意义。
