Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If deterministic computational metrics are used to evaluate LLM outputs, then measurement precision is improved, but reliability of human alignment is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
An evaluation ML model is introduced as an intermediary between deterministic computational metrics and human evaluations. This evaluation model processes the computational metrics and generates predicted human evaluations, effectively mediating the relationship between precise but potentially misaligned computational measures and actual human judgment standards.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by training the evaluation ML model using ground truth human evaluations as target labels. The model learns from the discrepancy between computational metrics and actual human judgments, continuously improving its ability to predict human evaluations accurately through iterative optimization.
2Reliability
If human evaluations are used directly to assess LLM performance, then reliability of human alignment is improved, but productivity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The evaluation ML model creates a copy or approximation of human evaluation capabilities. Instead of requiring actual human evaluators for every assessment, the trained model replicates human judgment patterns, providing reliable and scalable evaluations that mirror human standards without the time and resource constraints of manual assessment.
3Measurement precision
If evaluation ML model is trained on comprehensive training data, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The evaluation ML model is designed to be universal and multi-functional, capable of handling various LLM outputs and evaluation criteria through a single unified framework. This approach consolidates multiple evaluation functions into one model, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive evaluation capabilities across different tasks and metrics.

AI summary
Techniques for evaluating the output of a large language model are disclosed. A training data set that includes deterministic computational metrics that measure features of large language model output and qualitative metrics that provide a non-deterministic measure of large language model output quality may be used to train a ML model. The ML model may then be used to estimate the qualitative metrics of large language model output by using deterministic computational metrics as input.
