#!/usr/bin/env python3 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- """ab_test_app_dpo.py / app.py Blinded A/B evaluation app (Macmillan vs LLM) with per-user resume + progress. Designed for Hugging Face Spaces: - Place `final_qna_pairs.csv` in the Space repo root. - Set Space variables/secrets: * HF_DATASET_REPO (public variable): e.g. conor-foley/ab-testing-logs * HF_TOKEN (secret): a write token with access to the dataset repo Data file: final_qna_pairs.csv columns: source,title,question,macmillan_answer,llm_answer - source is an integer id (1..50) Behaviour: - User enters Participant ID (e.g. Ruth, Emma) - Items shown in fixed order (1..N) based on `source` - User can leave and return later: app reads logs/.csv from the dataset repo and resumes - Skip counts as completed (logged as action=skip) - A/B is randomised per item (Macmillan vs LLM) Logging: - Each participant gets their own CSV at logs/.csv in the dataset repo Examples: logs/Ruth.csv, logs/Emma.csv Local dev: - You can run locally too. If HF_TOKEN / HF_DATASET_REPO are not set, the app will fall back to local CSV logging under results/responses_dpo.csv.
