Chatbot Assessment

Overview

Looking to get started fine-tuning your own chatbot based off of your company’s data? This template provides you with a workflow to get started! With this data labeling template you can collect human preference data with ease to better assess the quality of chatbot responses. This is helpful when adding context-specific details to a chatbot.

When evaluating the quality of chatbot responses, there are a few different errors that you should tackle to ensure AI safety but also integrity of the data as well.

Areas to look out for include:

hallucinations
misinformation
offensive language
biased response
personal and sensitive information disclosure
etc.

The template is based on the paper Training language models to follow instructions
with human feedback, which proposes a set of human evaluation metrics for the LLMs responses.

How to Collect the Dataset

The input for this template is a list of dialogues between "user" and "assistant", packed in "messages"

For example:

[{
  "messages": [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "What's your opinion on pineapple pizza?"
    },
    {
        "role": "assistant",
        "content": "As an AI, I don't have personal opinions."
    },
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "But do people generally like it?"
    }
  ]
}, ...]

Collect dataset examples and store them in dataset.json file.

How to Configure the Labeling Interface

The Chatbot Model Assessment template includes the following labeling interface in XML format:

<View>
  <Style>
      <!-- Some CSS styles - customize yours -->
  </Style>
  <Header style="margin: 0 auto; width: 50%; margin-bottom: 0.5em;">InstructGPT Assessment</Header>

In this configuration, there are few blocks each of which represents binary choice question. Feel free add more blocks or remove some of them as your needs require.

Starting your labeling project

Need a hand getting started with Label Studio? Check out our Zero to One Tutorial.

Create new project in Label Studio
Go to Settings > Labeling Interface > Browse Templates > Generative AI > Chatbot Model Assessment
Save the project

Alternatively, you can create a new project by using our Python SDK:

import label_studio_sdk

ls = label_studio_sdk.Client('YOUR_LABEL_STUDIO_URL', 'YOUR_API_KEY')
project = ls.create_project(title='Chatbot Model Assessment', label_config='<View>...</View>')

Import the dataset

To import your dataset, in the project settings go to Import and upload the dataset file dataset.json.

Using the Python SDK, import the dataset with input prompts into Label Studio using the PROJECT_ID of the project you’ve just created.

Run the following code:

from label_studio_sdk import Client

ls = Client(url='<YOUR-LABEL-STUDIO-URL>', api_key='<YOUR-API_KEY>')

project = ls.get_project(id=PROJECT_ID)
project.import_tasks('dataset.json')

This will allow you to start annotating the dataset by assessing the quality of the generated responses in dialogues.

Export the dataset

Labeling results can be exported in JSON format. To export the dataset, go to Export in the project settings and download the file.

Using the Python SDK, export the dataset with annotations from Label Studio through running the following:

annotations = project.export_tasks(format='JSON')

The exported JSON file will look like this:

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "data": {
      "messages": [...]
    },
    "annotations": [
      {
        "id": 1,
        "created_at": "2021-03-03T14:00:00.000000Z",
        "result": [
          {
            "from_name": "likert_scale",
            "to_name": "dialogue",
            "type": "rating",
            "value": {
              "rating": 5
            }
          },
          {
            "from_name": "fails_to_follow",
            "to_name": "dialogue",
            "type": "choices",
            "value": {
              "choices": ["No"]
            }
          }
          // other fields
        ],
