Modified Files

3. streamlit_app.py (50 lines modified)

Location: D:\CapStoneProject\RAG Capstone Project\streamlit_app.py

Changes in evaluation_interface() (Lines 576-630):

# BEFORE: Had basic TRACE evaluation only
# AFTER: Added method selection with radio buttons

evaluation_method = st.radio(
    "Evaluation Method:",
    options=["TRACE (Heuristic)", "GPT Labeling (LLM-based)", "Hybrid (Both)"],
    horizontal=True
)

Changes in run_evaluation() (Line 706):

# BEFORE: def run_evaluation(num_samples: int, selected_llm: str = None)
# AFTER: Added method parameter
def run_evaluation(num_samples: int, selected_llm: str = None, method: str = "trace")

Changes in evaluation logic (Lines 770-810):

# BEFORE: Only used TRACEEvaluator
# AFTER: Uses UnifiedEvaluationPipeline with method selection

try:
    from evaluation_pipeline import UnifiedEvaluationPipeline
    pipeline = UnifiedEvaluationPipeline(...)
    results = pipeline.evaluate_batch(test_cases, method=method)
except ImportError:
    # Fallback to TRACE only
    evaluator = TRACEEvaluator(...)
    results = evaluator.evaluate_batch(test_cases)

Changes in results display (Lines 880-920):

# BEFORE: Always showed TRACE metrics
# AFTER: Show different metrics based on method selected

if method == "trace":
    show_trace_metrics()
elif method == "gpt_labeling":
    show_gpt_metrics()
elif method == "hybrid":
    show_both_metrics()

Added imports:

• from evaluation_pipeline import UnifiedEvaluationPipeline
• from advanced_rag_evaluator import AdvancedRAGEvaluator

4. trace_evaluator.py (10 lines documentation added)

Location: D:\CapStoneProject\RAG Capstone Project\trace_evaluator.py

Changes at lines 1-25 (docstring):

# Added documentation note about GPT labeling integration

GPT Labeling Integration:
This module also supports advanced GPT-based labeling using sentence-level annotations
to compute metrics more accurately than rule-based heuristics. See advanced_rag_evaluator.py
for the detailed implementation.

No functional changes - Backward compatible

Feature Additions by Component

DocumentSentencizer

# NEW: Split documents into labeled sentences
docs = ["Sentence 1. Sentence 2.", "More text. Text here."]
doc_sentences, formatted = DocumentSentencizer.sentencize_documents(docs)
# Results: [0a, 0b, 1a, 1b] with text

# NEW: Split response into labeled sentences
response = "Answer 1. Answer 2."
resp_sentences, formatted = DocumentSentencizer.sentencize_response(response)
# Results: [a, b] with text

GPTLabelingPromptGenerator

# NEW: Generate GPT labeling prompt
prompt, doc_sents, resp_sents = GPTLabelingPromptGenerator.generate_labeling_prompt(
    question, response, documents
)
# Result: 2600+ character prompt ready for LLM

AdvancedRAGEvaluator

# NEW: LLM-based evaluation
evaluator = AdvancedRAGEvaluator(llm_client)
scores = evaluator.evaluate(question, response, documents)
# Results: context_relevance, context_utilization, completeness, adherence

UnifiedEvaluationPipeline

# NEW: Unified interface for all methods
pipeline = UnifiedEvaluationPipeline(llm_client)

# Use TRACE (fast)
result = pipeline.evaluate(..., method="trace")

# Use GPT Labeling (accurate)
result = pipeline.evaluate(..., method="gpt_labeling")

# Use Hybrid (both)
result = pipeline.evaluate(..., method="hybrid")

Streamlit Integration

# ENHANCED: Method selection radio button
method = st.radio("Method", ["TRACE", "GPT Labeling", "Hybrid"])

# ENHANCED: Run with selected method
run_evaluation(samples, llm, method)

# ENHANCED: Display method-specific metrics
if method == "gpt_labeling":
    st.metric("Context Relevance", score)
