定義成功標準並建立評估
為您的 LLM 應用程式定義可衡量的成功標準,並建立評估來進行測試,從精確比對檢查到基於 LLM 的評分。
建立一個成功的基於 LLM 的應用程式,首先要清楚定義您的成功標準,然後設計評估來衡量相對於這些標準的表現。這個循環是「prompt engineering」(提示工程)的核心。

定義您的成功標準
良好的成功標準應具備以下特點:
-
具體(Specific): 清楚定義您想要達成的目標。與其說「良好的表現」,不如具體說明「準確的情感分類」。
-
可衡量(Measurable): 使用量化指標或定義明確的質化量表。數字能提供清晰度與可擴展性,但若能與量化衡量方式一併持續一致地應用,質化衡量方式也很有價值。
- 即使是倫理與安全等「模糊」的主題也可以量化:
安全標準 不佳 安全的輸出 良好 在 10,000 次試驗中,被內容過濾器標記為有毒性的輸出少於 0.1%。
量化指標:
- 任務特定:F1 分數、BLEU 分數、困惑度(perplexity)
- 通用:準確率(accuracy)、精確率(precision)、召回率(recall)
- 營運:回應時間(毫秒)、正常運作時間(%)
量化方法:
- A/B 測試:與基準模型或較早版本比較表現。
- 使用者回饋:隱性衡量方式,例如任務完成率。
- 邊緣案例分析:無錯誤處理的邊緣案例百分比。
質化量表:
- 李克特量表(Likert scales):「請以 1(毫無意義)到 5(完全合乎邏輯)評定連貫性」
- 專家評分標準:語言學家依據既定標準評定翻譯品質
- 即使是倫理與安全等「模糊」的主題也可以量化:
-
可達成(Achievable): 以產業基準、先前的實驗、AI 研究或專家知識作為目標的依據。您的成功指標不應超出當前前沿模型能力的現實範圍。
-
相關(Relevant): 讓您的標準與應用程式的目的及使用者需求保持一致。高度的引用準確性對醫療應用程式可能至關重要,但對休閒聊天機器人則較不重要。
| 標準 | |
|---|---|
| 不佳 | 模型應該能良好地分類情感 |
| 良好 | 情感分析模型應在一個包含 10,000 則多樣化 Twitter 貼文的保留測試集*(相關)上達到至少 0.85 的 F1 分數(可衡量、具體),這比目前的基準提升了 5%(可達成)。 |
*下一節將進一步說明保留測試集(held-out test sets)。
常見的成功標準
以下是一些可能對您的使用案例很重要的標準。此清單並非詳盡無遺。
模型在該任務上需要表現得多好?您可能還需要考慮邊緣案例的處理,例如模型在罕見或具挑戰性的輸入上需要表現得多好。
對於相似類型的輸入,模型的回應需要有多相似?如果使用者問了同一個問題兩次,他們得到語意相似的答案有多重要?
模型直接回應使用者問題或指示的程度如何?資訊以合乎邏輯、易於理解的方式呈現有多重要?
模型的輸出風格與期望的契合程度如何?其用語對目標受眾而言有多合適?
對於模型如何處理個人或敏感資訊,什麼是成功的指標?它能否遵循不使用或不分享特定細節的指示?
模型使用所提供上下文的效率如何?它參考並延伸其歷史記錄中所給資訊的能力如何?
模型可接受的回應時間是多少?這取決於您應用程式的即時性需求與使用者期望。
您執行模型的預算是多少?請考慮每次 API 呼叫的成本、模型的大小以及使用頻率等因素。
大多數使用案例需要依據多項成功標準進行多維度評估。
| 標準 | |
|---|---|
| 不佳 | 模型應該能良好地分類情感 |
| 良好 | 在一個包含 10,000 則多樣化 Twitter 貼文的保留測試集上,情感分析模型應達到: - 至少 0.85 的 F1 分數 - 99.5% 的輸出無毒性 - 90% 的錯誤只會造成不便,而非嚴重錯誤* - 95% 的回應時間 < 200 毫秒 |
*實際上,您還需要定義「不便」與「嚴重」的含義。
建立評估
評估設計原則
- 針對特定任務: 設計能反映您真實世界任務分布的評估。別忘了將邊緣案例納入考量!
- 不相關或不存在的輸入資料
- 過長的輸入資料或使用者輸入
- [聊天使用案例] 品質不佳、有害或不相關的使用者輸入
- 模稜兩可的測試案例,即使是人類也難以達成評估共識
- 盡可能自動化: 將問題結構化以便進行自動評分(例如選擇題、字串比對、程式碼評分、LLM 評分)。
- 數量優先於品質: 較多問題搭配訊號稍弱的自動評分,勝過較少問題搭配高品質的人工手動評分評估。
評估範例
衡量內容: 精確比對(exact match)評估衡量模型的輸出是否與預先定義的正確答案相符,通常會先將空白與大小寫正規化。這是一個簡單、明確的指標,非常適合具有明確分類答案的任務,例如情感分析(正面、負面、中性)。
評估測試案例範例: 1,000 則帶有人工標註情感的推文。

在決定使用哪種方法為評估評分時,請選擇最快速、最可靠、最具可擴展性的方法:
-
基於程式碼的評分: 最快速且最可靠,可擴展性極高,但對於需要較少規則式僵化的複雜判斷則缺乏細膩度。
- 精確比對:
output == golden_answer - 字串比對:
key_phrase in output
- 精確比對:
-
人工評分: 最具彈性且品質最高,但緩慢且昂貴。盡可能避免。
-
基於 LLM 的評分: 快速且具彈性,可擴展且適合複雜判斷。請先測試以確保可靠性,再進行擴展。
基於 LLM 評分的技巧
- 制定詳細、清楚的評分標準: 「答案應始終在第一句中提及『Acme Inc.』。若未提及,該答案將自動評為『不正確』。」
- 實證或具體: 例如,指示 LLM 僅輸出「correct」或「incorrect」,或以 1–5 的量表進行判斷。純質化的評估難以快速且大規模地評量。
- 鼓勵推理: 要求 LLM 在產生評估分數之前先進行推理,然後捨棄推理內容。這能提升評估表現,特別是對於需要複雜判斷的任務。
