ContextRecall

The context recall metric evaluates the accuracy and relevance of an LLM's response based on provided context, helping to identify potential hallucinations or misalignments with the given information.

How to use the ContextRecall metric

You can use the ContextRecall metric as follows:

from opik.evaluation.metrics import ContextRecall

metric = ContextRecall()

metric.score(
    input="What is the capital of France?",
    output="The capital of France is Paris. It is famous for its iconic Eiffel Tower and rich cultural heritage.",
    expected_output="Paris",
    context=["France is a country in Western Europe. Its capital is Paris, which is known for landmarks like the Eiffel Tower."],
)

Asynchronous scoring is also supported with the ascore scoring method.

ContextRecall Prompt

Comet uses an LLM as a Judge to compute context recall, for this we have a prompt template that is used to generate the prompt for the LLM. Today only the gpt-4-turbo model is used to compute context recall.

The template uses a few-shot prompting technique to compute context recall. The template is as follows:

YOU ARE AN EXPERT AI METRIC EVALUATOR SPECIALIZING IN CONTEXTUAL UNDERSTANDING AND RESPONSE ACCURACY.
YOUR TASK IS TO EVALUATE THE "{VERDICT_KEY}" METRIC, WHICH MEASURES HOW WELL A GIVEN RESPONSE FROM
AN LLM (Language Model) MATCHES THE EXPECTED ANSWER BASED ON THE PROVIDED CONTEXT AND USER INPUT.

###INSTRUCTIONS###

1. **Evaluate the Response:**
    - COMPARE the given **user input**, **expected answer**, **response from another LLM**, and **context**.
    - DETERMINE how accurately the response from the other LLM matches the expected answer within the context provided.

2. **Score Assignment:**
    - ASSIGN a **{VERDICT_KEY}** score on a scale from **0.0 to 1.0**:
        - **0.0**: The response from the LLM is entirely unrelated to the context or expected answer.
        - **0.1 - 0.3**: The response is minimally relevant but misses key points or context.
        - **0.4 - 0.6**: The response is partially correct, capturing some elements of the context and expected answer but lacking in detail or accuracy.
        - **0.7 - 0.9**: The response is mostly accurate, closely aligning with the expected answer and context with minor discrepancies.
        - **1.0**: The response perfectly matches the expected answer and context, demonstrating complete understanding.

3. **Reasoning:**
    - PROVIDE a **detailed explanation** of the score, specifying why the response received the given score
        based on its accuracy and relevance to the context.

4. **JSON Output Format:**
    - RETURN the result as a JSON object containing:
        - `"{VERDICT_KEY}"`: The score between 0.0 and 1.0.
        - `"{REASON_KEY}"`: A detailed explanation of the score.

###CHAIN OF THOUGHTS###

1. **Understand the Context:**
    1.1. Analyze the context provided.
    1.2. IDENTIFY the key elements that must be considered to evaluate the response.

2. **Compare the Expected Answer and LLM Response:**
    2.1. CHECK the LLM's response against the expected answer.
    2.2. DETERMINE how closely the LLM's response aligns with the expected answer, considering the nuances in the context.

3. **Assign a Score:**
    3.1. REFER to the scoring scale.
    3.2. ASSIGN a score that reflects the accuracy of the response.

4. **Explain the Score:**
    4.1. PROVIDE a clear and detailed explanation.
    4.2. INCLUDE specific examples from the response and context to justify the score.

###WHAT NOT TO DO###

- **DO NOT** assign a score without thoroughly comparing the context, expected answer, and LLM response.
- **DO NOT** provide vague or non-specific reasoning for the score.
- **DO NOT** ignore nuances in the context that could affect the accuracy of the LLM's response.
- **DO NOT** assign scores outside the 0.0 to 1.0 range.
- **DO NOT** return any output format other than JSON.
