GPT Labeling Implementation - Summary

✅ Completed Implementation

New Modules Created

1. advanced_rag_evaluator.py (380 lines)

Advanced RAG evaluation using GPT-4 labeling prompts from the RAGBench paper (arXiv:2407.11005).

Key Classes:

• DocumentSentencizer - Splits docs/responses into labeled sentences (0a, 0b, a, b)
• GPTLabelingPromptGenerator - Creates the detailed GPT labeling prompt
• GPTLabelingOutput - Structured dataclass for LLM response
• AdvancedTRACEScores - Enhanced scores with GPT labeling metrics
• AdvancedRAGEvaluator - Main evaluator with evaluation + batch methods

Key Features:

• Sentence-level labeling using LLM
• Parses JSON response from LLM with error handling
• Computes 4 metrics: Context Relevance, Context Utilization, Completeness, Adherence
• Fallback to heuristic evaluation if LLM unavailable
• Detailed result tracking with per-query analysis

2. evaluation_pipeline.py (175 lines)

Unified evaluation pipeline supporting TRACE, GPT Labeling, and Hybrid methods.

Key Classes:

• UnifiedEvaluationPipeline - Facade for all evaluation methods
  • Single evaluation: evaluate(question, response, docs, method="trace")
  • Batch evaluation: evaluate_batch(test_cases, method="trace")
  • Static method: get_evaluation_methods() returns method info

Supported Methods:

1. trace - Fast rule-based (100ms per eval, free)
2. gpt_labeling - Accurate LLM-based (2-5s per eval, $0.002-0.01)
3. hybrid - Both approaches (2-5s per eval, same cost as GPT)

🔍 How It Works

Sentence Sentencization

Documents:
  0a. First document sentence.
  0b. Second document sentence.
  1a. Another doc's first sentence.

Response:
  a. Response sentence one.
  b. Response sentence two.

GPT Labeling Prompt

Sends to LLM:

Documents (with sentence keys)
Question
Response (with sentence keys)

→ Please label which document sentences are relevant
→ Which sentences support each response sentence
→ Is response fully supported?

LLM Response (JSON)

{
  "relevance_explanation": "...",
  "all_relevant_sentence_keys": ["0a", "0b", "1a"],
  "overall_supported": true,
  "overall_supported_explanation": "...",
  "sentence_support_information": [
    {
      "response_sentence_key": "a",
      "explanation": "...",
      "supporting_sentence_keys": ["0a", "0b"],
      "fully_supported": true
    }
  ],
  "all_utilized_sentence_keys": ["0a", "0b"]
}

Metric Computation

From labeled data:

• Context Relevance = relevant_sentences / total_sentences
• Context Utilization = utilized_relevant / total_relevant
• Completeness = (relevant ∩ utilized) / relevant
• Adherence = fully_supported_sentences / total_sentences

📊 Three Evaluation Methods Available

1. TRACE Heuristics (Fast)

Speed: 100ms per eval → 10 samples in 1 second
Cost: Free (no API calls)
Accuracy: Good for obvious cases
Use When: Quick prototyping, large-scale evaluation

2. GPT Labeling (Accurate)

Speed: 2-5s per eval → 10 samples in 20-50 seconds
Cost: ~$0.002-0.01 per eval ($0.02-0.10 per 10)
Accuracy: Excellent, semantic understanding
Use When: Small high-quality subset (< 20 samples)

3. Hybrid (Both)

Speed: 2-5s per eval (same as GPT)
Cost: Same as GPT Labeling
Benefit: Get both fast metrics and accurate metrics
Use When: Need comprehensive analysis

🎯 Streamlit UI Integration

Evaluation Interface

1. Method Selection: Radio button (TRACE / GPT Labeling / Hybrid)
2. LLM Selection: Dropdown for choosing LLM model
3. Sample Count: Slider (5-500 samples)
4. Run Button: Executes evaluation with selected method
5. Results Display: Metrics and per-query details

Results Display

• Metric Cards: Aggregate scores
• Summary Table: Per-query scores
• Detailed Expanders: Per-query Q/A/docs/metrics
• JSON Download: Complete results with configuration

🔗 Integration Points

With Existing Code

• Uses existing st.session_state.rag_pipeline.llm client
• Uses existing RAGBenchLoader for test data
• Uses existing chunking strategy and embedding model metadata
• Works with existing streamlit_app.py structure
• Backward compatible with TRACE evaluation

Error Handling

• If LLM unavailable: Falls back to TRACE
• If evaluation_pipeline not found: Falls back to TRACE only
• If LLM returns non-JSON: Uses fallback heuristic
• Rate limiting: Exponential backoff with retry logic

📈 Testing & Validation

✅ Module imports: Verified all modules load correctly ✅ Syntax validation: No syntax errors in any file ✅ Integration test: DocumentSentencizer, PromptGenerator, Pipeline work ✅ Backward compatibility: Existing TRACE evaluation still works ✅ Error handling: Graceful fallbacks when components unavailable

🚀 Ready for Use

The implementation is complete and ready to use:

1. Start Streamlit: streamlit run streamlit_app.py
2. Load Collection: Select dataset and load into vector store
3. Choose Method:
   • TRACE for speed
   • GPT Labeling for accuracy
   • Hybrid for comprehensive analysis
4. Run Evaluation: Click "Run Evaluation" button
5. View Results: See metrics and download JSON

💡 Key Innovations

1. Sentence-Level Labeling: More accurate than word-overlap heuristics
2. Unified Pipeline: Switch between methods with single parameter
3. Graceful Degradation: Falls back to TRACE if LLM unavailable
4. Rate Limit Aware: Handles Groq's 30 RPM constraint
5. Comprehensive Logging: Track evaluation progress and timing
6. Detailed Documentation: Two guides for different audiences

🔄 Example Workflow

# User clicks "Run Evaluation" in Streamlit
→ Selects: GPT Labeling method, 10 samples

# Streamlit calls run_evaluation(10, "llama-3.1-8b", "gpt_labeling")

# Internally:
→ Creates UnifiedEvaluationPipeline with LLM client
→ For each of 10 samples:
  → Queries RAG system for response
  → Calls GPT with labeling prompt
  → Parses JSON response
  → Computes 4 metrics
  → Stores results
→ Aggregates scores across 10 samples
→ Displays metrics and detailed results
→ Allows JSON download

# Results available in st.session_state.evaluation_results
