Correctness

Evaluation modules.

CorrectnessEvaluator #

Bases: BaseEvaluator

Correctness evaluator.

Evaluates the correctness of a question answering system. This evaluator depends on reference answer to be provided, in addition to the query string and response string.

It outputs a score between 1 and 5, where 1 is the worst and 5 is the best, along with a reasoning for the score. Passing is defined as a score greater than or equal to the given threshold.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
eval_template Optional[Union[BasePromptTemplate, str]]

Template for the evaluation prompt.

 None
score_threshold float

Numerical threshold for passing the evaluation, defaults to 4.0.

 4.0
