LLM Question Answering over the 2022 Winter Olympics Wikipedia articles

Giskard is an open-source framework for testing all ML models, from LLMs to tabular models. Don’t hesitate to give the project a star on GitHub ⭐️ if you find it useful!

In this notebook, you’ll learn how to create comprehensive test suites for your model in a few lines of code, thanks to Giskard’s open-source Python library.

In this example, we illustrate the procedure using OpenAI Client that is the default one; however, please note that our platform supports a variety of language models. For details on configuring different models, visit our 🤖 Setting up the LLM Client page

In this tutorial we will use Giskard LLM Scan to automatically detect issues of a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline. We will test a model that answers questions about the 2022 Winter Olympics Wikipedia articles.

Use-case:

Outline:

  • Detect vulnerabilities automatically with Giskard’s scan

  • Automatically generate & curate a comprehensive test suite to test your model beyond accuracy-related metrics

  • Upload your model to the Giskard Hub to:

    • Debug failing tests & diagnose issues

    • Compare models & decide which one to promote

    • Share your results & collect feedback from non-technical team members

Dataset preparation

Define the context retrieving pipeline

Now we define a pipeline, which searches and returns the most relevant information (context) given an input query.

[6]:
def strings_ranked_by_relation(query: str, db: pd.DataFrame,
                               relatedness_fn=lambda x, y: 1 - spatial.distance.cosine(x, y),
                               top_n: int = 100) -> tuple[list[str], list[float]]:
    """Return a list of strings and relation, sorted from most related to least."""
    query_embedding_response = openai.Embedding.create(model=EMBEDDING_MODEL, input=query)
    query_embedding = query_embedding_response["data"][0]["embedding"]

    strings_and_relation = [
        (row["text"], relatedness_fn(query_embedding, row["embedding"]))
        for i, row in db.iterrows()
    ]
    strings_and_relation.sort(key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
    strings, relation = zip(*strings_and_relation)
    return strings[:top_n], relation[:top_n]


def num_tokens(text: str, model: str = LLM_MODEL) -> int:
    """Return the number of tokens in a string."""
    encoding = tiktoken.encoding_for_model(model)
    return len(encoding.encode(text))


def query_message(query: str, db: pd.DataFrame, model: str, token_budget: int) -> str:
    """Return a message for GPT, with relevant source texts pulled from a dataframe."""
    message = PROMPT_TEMPLATE
    question = f"\n\nQuestion: {query}"

    strings, _ = strings_ranked_by_relation(query, db)

    for string in strings:
        next_article = f'\n\nWikipedia article section:\n"""\n{string}\n"""'
        if num_tokens(message + next_article + question, model=model) > token_budget:
            break
        else:
            message += next_article

    return message + question

Model building

Define the RAG pipeline

We create a RAG pipeline, which takes an input query, embed and use it to retrieve the most relevant contextual information, which is used to augment an input prompt before passing it to the LLM.

[ ]:
df = pd.read_csv(ARTICLES_EMBEDDINGS_URL)
df['embedding'] = df['embedding'].apply(ast.literal_eval)


def ask(query: str, db: pd.DataFrame = df, model: str = LLM_MODEL,
        token_budget: int = 4096 - 500) -> str:
    """Answers a query using GPT and a dataframe of relevant texts and embeddings."""
    message = query_message(query, db, model=model, token_budget=token_budget)

    messages = [
        {"role": "system", "content": "You answer questions about the 2022 Winter Olympics."},
        {"role": "user", "content": message},
    ]

    response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
        model=model,
        messages=messages,
        temperature=0,
        timeout=30
    )

    response_message = response["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
    return response_message


# Validate the RAG pipeline.
ask('Which athletes won the gold medal in curling at the 2022 Winter Olympics?')

Detect vulnerabilities in your model

Wrap model and dataset with Giskard

Before running the automatic LLM scan, we need to wrap our model into Giskard’s Model object. We can also optionally create a small dataset of queries to test that the model wrapping worked.

[ ]:
# Optional: Wrap a dataframe of sample input prompts to validate the model wrapping and to narrow specific tests' queries.
corpus = [
    'How many records were set at the 2022 Winter Olympics?',
    'Did Jamaica or Cuba have more athletes at the 2022 Winter Olympics?',
    'Which Olympic sport is the most entertaining?',
    'Which Canadian competitor won the frozen hot dog eating competition?',
    "How did COVID-19 affect the 2022 Winter Olympics?"
    "What's 2+2?",
]

raw_data = pd.DataFrame(data={TEXT_COLUMN_NAME: corpus})
giskard_dataset = Dataset(raw_data, target=None)


# Wrap the model.
def prediction_function(df):
    return [ask(data) for data in df[TEXT_COLUMN_NAME]]


giskard_model = Model(
    model=prediction_function,  # A prediction function that encapsulates all the data pre-processing steps and that could be executed with the dataset used by the scan.
    model_type="text_generation",  # Either regression, classification or text_generation.
    name="The LLM, which knows about the Winter 2022 Olympics",  # Optional.
    description="This model knows facts about the Winter 2022 Olympics from the Wikipedia source. This model responses strictly and shortly. This model politely refuse to provide an answer if the question does not relate to the topic of the Winter 2022 Olympics.",  # Is used to generate prompts during the scan.
    feature_names=[TEXT_COLUMN_NAME]  # Default: all columns of your dataset.
)

Let’s check that the model is correctly wrapped by running it:

[ ]:
# Validate the wrapped model and dataset.
print(giskard_model.predict(giskard_dataset).prediction)

Scan your model for vulnerabilities with Giskard

We can now run Giskard’s scan to generate an automatic report about the model vulnerabilities. This will thoroughly test different classes of model vulnerabilities, such as harmfulness, hallucination, prompt injection, etc.

The scan will use a mixture of tests from predefined set of examples, heuristics, and LLM based generations and evaluations.

Note: this can take up to 30 min, depending on the speed of the API.

Note that the scan results are not deterministic. In fact, LLMs may generally give different answers to the same or similar questions. Also, not all tests we perform are deterministic.

[ ]:
results = scan(giskard_model, giskard_dataset)
[11]:
display(results)

Generate comprehensive test suites automatically for your model

Generate test suites from the scan

The objects produced by the scan can be used as fixtures to generate a test suite that integrates all detected vulnerabilities. Test suites allow you to evaluate and validate your model’s performance, ensuring that it behaves as expected on a set of predefined test cases, and to identify any regressions or issues that might arise during development or updates.

Debug and interact with your tests in the Giskard Hub

At this point, you’ve created a test suite that covers a first layer of potential vulnerabilities for your LLM. From here, we encourage you to boost the coverage rate of your tests to anticipate as many failures as possible for your model. The base layer provided by the scan needs to be fine-tuned and augmented by human review, which is a great reason to head over to the Giskard Hub.

Play around with a demo of the Giskard Hub on HuggingFace Spaces using this link.

More than just fine-tuning tests, the Giskard Hub allows you to:

  • Compare models and prompts to decide which model or prompt to promote

  • Test out input prompts and evaluation criteria that make your model fail

  • Share your test results with team members and decision makers

The Giskard Hub can be deployed easily on HuggingFace Spaces. Other installation options are available in the documentation.

Here’s a sneak peek of the fine-tuning interface proposed by the Giskard Hub:
