Practical Solutions for Evaluating Conversational AI Assistants
Evaluating conversational AI assistants, like GitHub Copilot Chat, is challenging due to their reliance on language models and chat-based interfaces.
Current metrics need to be revised for domain-specific dialogues, making it hard for software developers to assess the effectiveness of these tools.
**Practical Solution:** Focus on automatically generating high-quality, task-aware rubrics for evaluating task-oriented conversational AI assistants, emphasizing the importance of context and task progression to improve evaluation accuracy.
RUBICON: A Technique for Evaluating Domain-Specific Human-AI Conversations
Microsoft presents RUBICON, a technique for evaluating domain-specific Human-AI conversations using large language models.
**Practical Solution:** Enhances SPUR by incorporating domain-specific signals and Gricean maxims, creating a pool of rubrics evaluated iteratively.
**Value:** Achieves high precision in predicting conversation quality, demonstrating the effectiveness of its components through ablation studies.
Estimating Conversation Quality for Domain-Specific Assistants
RUBICON estimates conversation quality for domain-specific assistants by learning rubrics for Satisfaction (SAT) and Dissatisfaction (DSAT) from labeled conversations.
**Practical Solution:** Involves generating diverse rubrics, selecting an optimized rubric set, and scoring conversations. Rubrics are natural language assertions capturing conversation attributes.
**Value:** Correctness and sharpness losses guide the selection of an optimal rubric subset, ensuring effective and accurate conversation quality assessment.
Evaluation and Validity Considerations
The evaluation of RUBICON involves key questions about its effectiveness, impact, and performance of its selection policy.
**Value:** Outperforms baselines in separating positive and negative conversations and classifying conversations with high precision, highlighting the importance of domain sensitization and conversation design principles.
**Validity Concerns:** Address internal and external validity limitations, and construct validity issues, to enhance the rubric quality and differentiation of conversation effectiveness.
