# GPT Labeling Evaluation - Implementation Status

**Status**: ✅ COMPLETE AND TESTED

**Date**: 2024
**Project**: RAG Capstone Project - GPT Labeling Integration

---

## 🎯 Implementation Summary

Successfully implemented **GPT labeling-based evaluation** for RAG systems using sentence-level LLM analysis, as specified in the RAGBench paper (arXiv:2407.11005).

The implementation provides three evaluation methods:
1. **TRACE** - Fast rule-based metrics
2. **GPT Labeling** - Accurate LLM-based metrics
3. **Hybrid** - Combined approach

## 🎯 Key Features Implemented

### 1. Sentence-Level Labeling
- ✅ Documents split into labeled sentences (0a, 0b, 1a, 1b, etc.)
- ✅ Responses split into labeled sentences (a, b, c, etc.)
- ✅ Sentence keys preserved throughout evaluation

### 2. GPT Labeling Prompt
- ✅ Comprehensive prompt template included
- ✅ Asks LLM to identify relevant document sentences
- ✅ Asks LLM to identify supporting sentences for each response sentence
- ✅ Expects structured JSON response with 5 fields
- ✅ Over 2600 character prompt with full instructions

### 3. Metric Computation
- ✅ Context Relevance (fraction of relevant docs)
- ✅ Context Utilization (how much relevant is used)
- ✅ Completeness (coverage of relevant info)
- ✅ Adherence (response grounded in context)
- ✅ Sentence-level support tracking (fully/partially/unsupported)

### 4. Unified Interface
- ✅ Single UnifiedEvaluationPipeline for all methods
- ✅ Consistent API: `evaluate()` and `evaluate_batch()`
- ✅ Method parameter to switch between approaches
- ✅ Fallback behavior when LLM unavailable

### 5. Streamlit Integration
- ✅ Method selection radio buttons
- ✅ LLM model dropdown
- ✅ Sample count slider
- ✅ Enhanced logging with method-specific messages
- ✅ Results display for all methods
- ✅ JSON download with full evaluation data
- ✅ Cost/speed warnings for LLM methods

### 6. Error Handling
- ✅ LLM client unavailability handled gracefully
- ✅ JSON parsing failures caught and logged
- ✅ Fallback to heuristic evaluation
- ✅ Rate limiting respected
- ✅ Comprehensive error messages

## 🚀 How to Use

### Quick Start
```bash
# 1. Start Streamlit
streamlit run streamlit_app.py

# 2. In browser, go to Evaluation tab

# 3. Select method: TRACE / GPT Labeling / Hybrid

# 4. Click "Run Evaluation"

# 5. View results and download JSON
```

### Programmatic Usage
```python
from evaluation_pipeline import UnifiedEvaluationPipeline

pipeline = UnifiedEvaluationPipeline(llm_client=my_llm)

# Single evaluation
result = pipeline.evaluate(
    question="What is RAG?",
    response="RAG is...",
    retrieved_documents=["Doc 1", "Doc 2"],
    method="gpt_labeling"
)

# Batch evaluation
results = pipeline.evaluate_batch(test_cases, method="trace")
```
