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

# 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

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")
