# AQUA Model Evaluation Use this skill when the user wants to evaluate LLM models on OCI Data Science using AI Quick Actions. ## Supported Metrics | Metric | Description | Best For | |---|---|---| | **BERTScore** | Embedding-based semantic similarity (precision, recall, F1) | General text quality, aligns well with human judgement | | **ROUGE** | N-gram overlap between generated and reference text | Summarization tasks | | **Perplexity** | How well the model predicts the text | Language modeling quality | | **Text Readability** | Reading level / complexity of generated text | Content accessibility | ## Dataset Format JSONL format with required `prompt` and `completion` keys, optional `category`: ```jsonl {"prompt": "Summarize this dialog:\nAmanda: I baked cookies...", "completion": "Amanda baked cookies and will bring some for Jerry tomorrow."} {"prompt": "Translate to French: Hello world", "completion": "Bonjour le monde", "category": "translation"} {"prompt": "What is 2+2?", "completion": "4", "category": "math"} ``` The `category` field dimensions evaluation metrics in the report (e.g., see accuracy per category). When omitted, defaults to `"_"` (unknown). Official sample datasets (10 prompts each, math + logic categories): | File | Use Case | |---|---| | `examples/evaluation-sample-no-sys-message.jsonl` | Llama-style prompts without system message | | `examples/evaluation-sample-with-sys-message.jsonl` | Llama-style prompts with `<<SYS>>` system message | ## Python SDK Usage ### Import ```python from ads.aqua.evaluation import AquaEvaluationApp eval_app = AquaEvaluationApp() ``` ### Create Evaluation ```python from ads.aqua.evaluation.entities import CreateAquaEvaluationDetails details = CreateAquaEvaluationDetails( evaluation_source_id="ocid1.datasciencemodeldeployment.oc1.iad.xxx", # Deployment OCID evaluation_name="llama-3.1-8b-eval-bertscore", dataset_path="oci://my-bucket@my-namespace/datasets/eval_data.jsonl", report_path="oci://my-bucket@my-namespace/eval-reports/", model_parameters={ "max_tokens": 500, "temperature": 0.7, "top_p": 0.9, }, shape_name="VM.Standard.E4.Flex", block_storage_size=50, compartment_id="ocid1.compartment.oc1..xxx", project_id="ocid1.datascienceproject.oc1.iad.xxx", log_group_id="ocid1.loggroup.oc1.iad.xxx", log_id="ocid1.log.oc1.iad.xxx", metrics=[ {"name": "bertscore"}, {"name": "rouge"}, ], ) evaluation = eval_app.create(create_evaluation_details=details) print(f"Evaluation: {evaluation.id} | State: {evaluation.lifecycle_state}") ``` ### Evaluate a Model (not deployment) Directly You can pass a model OCID instead of a deployment OCID: ```python details = CreateAquaEvaluationDetails( evaluation_source_id="ocid1.datasciencemodel.oc1.iad.xxx", # Model OCID # ... rest of params same as above ) ``` ### Evaluate Stacked/Multi-Model Deployment For stacked or multi-model deployments, specify which model to evaluate: ```python details = CreateAquaEvaluationDetails( evaluation_source_id="ocid1.datasciencemodeldeployment.oc1.iad.xxx", model_parameters={ "max_tokens": 500, "temperature": 0.7, "model": "llama-3.1-8b-customer-support", # Target specific model in deployment }, # ... rest of params ) ``` ### With Experiment Tracking ```python details = CreateAquaEvaluationDetails( evaluation_source_id="ocid1.datasciencemodeldeployment.oc1.iad.xxx", evaluation_name="llama-eval-v2", dataset_path="oci://my-bucket@my-namespace/datasets/eval_data.jsonl", report_path="oci://my-bucket@my-namespace/eval-reports/", model_parameters={"max_tokens": 500, "temperature": 0.7}, shape_name="VM.Standard.E4.Flex", block_storage_size=50, experiment_name="llama-evaluations", # Groups evaluations together experiment_description="Llama 3.1 evaluation experiments", metrics=[{"name": "bertscore"}, {"name": "rouge"}], ) ``` ### List Evaluations ```python evaluations = eval_app.list(compartment_id="ocid1.compartment.oc1..xxx") for e in evaluations: print(f"{e.display_name} | {e.lifecycle_state}") ``` ### Get Evaluation Details ```python evaluation = eval_app.get(eval_id="ocid1.datasciencemodel.oc1.iad.xxx") ``` ## CLI Usage ### Create Evaluation ```bash ads aqua evaluation create \ --evaluation_source_id "ocid1.datasciencemodeldeployment.oc1.iad.xxx" \ --evaluation_name "llama-eval-bertscore" \ --dataset_path "oci://my-bucket@my-namespace/datasets/eval_data.jsonl" \ --report_path "oci://my-bucket@my-namespace/eval-reports/" \ --model_parameters '{"max_tokens": 500, "temperature": 0.7}' \ --shape_name "VM.Standard.E4.Flex" \ --block_storage_size 50 \ --compartment_id "ocid1.compartment.oc1..xxx" \ --project_id "ocid1.datascienceproject.oc1.iad.xxx" \ --metrics '[{"name": "bertscore"}, {"name": "rouge"}]' ``` ### List / Get Evaluations ```bash ads aqua evaluation list --compartment_id "ocid1.compartment.oc1..xxx" ads aqua evaluation get --eval_id "ocid1.datasciencemodel.oc1.iad.xxx" ``` ## Interpreting Results ### BERTScore The evaluation produces a Model Catalog entry with: - **Precision**: How much of the generated text is semantically represented in the reference - **Recall**: How much of the reference text is captured by the generated text - **F1**: Harmonic mean of precision and recall Higher scores = better quality. Scores clustered around the mean indicate consistent performance. ### ROUGE - **ROUGE-1**: Unigram overlap - **ROUGE-2**: Bigram overlap - **ROUGE-L**: Longest common subsequence ### BERTScore Limitations - May favor models mirroring its own architecture - Lacks consideration for sentence-level syntax - Diminished effectiveness for context beyond word-level (idioms, cultural nuances) - Not suitable for evaluating coding models on programming tasks ## Key Source Files - `ads/aqua/evaluation/evaluation.py` — `AquaEvaluationApp` (create, list, get, load_metrics) - `ads/aqua/evaluation/entities.py` — `CreateAquaEvaluationDetails`, `AquaEvalMetrics` - `ads/aqua/config/evaluation/evaluation_service_config.py` — Metric configuration
