How to use Galileo Evaluate to find Hallucinations

Identify Hallucinations

Galileo GenAI Studio supports Custom Metrics (programmatic or GPT-based) for all your Evaluate and Observe projects. Depending on where, when, and how you want these metrics to be executed, you have the option to choose between **Custom Scorers** and **Registered Scorers**.

Register Custom Metrics

Prompt Management-Storage

Easily compare multiple LLM runs in a single screen for better decision making

A/B Compare Prompts

Execute prompts in bulk for faster experimentation

Experiment with Multiple Prompts

If you're building a multi-step workflow or chain (e.g. a RAG system, an Agent, or a chain) and want to experiment with multiple combinations of parameters or your versions at once, Chain Sweeps are your friend.

Experiment with Multiple Chain Workflows

Galileo allows you to do qualitative human evaluations of your prompts and responses.

Evaluate with Human Feedback

While you are experimenting with your prompts you will probably be tuning many parameters.

Add Tags and Metadata to Prompt Runs

If you already have a dataset of requests and application responses, and you want to log and evaluate these on Galileo without re-generating the responses, you can do so via our worflows.

Log Pre-generated Responses in Python

If you want to fetch your logged data and metrics programmatically, you can do so via our Python clients.

Programmatically fetch logged data

Galileo Evaluate is geared for cross-functional collaboration. Most of the teams using Galileo consist of a mix of the following personas

Collaborate with other personas

All projects on Galileo can be shared with others to enable collaboration.

To download the results of your evaluation you can use the Export function. To export your runs, simply click on _Export Prompt Data._

Export your Evaluation Runs

An important step towards debugging and evaluating your LLM applications is understanding your metric values and what led to them.

Understand your metric's values

Expected outputs are a key element for evaluating LLM applications. They provide benchmarks to measure model accuracy, identify errors, and ensure consistent assessments.

No matter how you're orchestrating your workflows, we have an interface to help you upload them to Galileo.

Logging Workflows

Project

Runs in Galileo are experiments or iterations done within a [project](/galileo/gen-ai-studio-products/galileo-evaluate/concepts/project).

Template

Metrics are quantitative or qualitative ways to express insights about the [run](/galileo/gen-ai-studio-products/galileo-evaluate/concepts/run).

Your metrics are failing and you're not sure why? Below are a few reasons some of your metrics might fail and what you can do about them

Errors When Computing Metrics

Confused by whether to use Context Adherence or Instruction Adherence? Below are several differences between the two metrics and when to use each one

How to set up Alerts and automatically be alerted when things go wrong

Setting Up Alerts

Once your monitored LLM app is up and running and you've selected your Guardrail Metrics, you can start monitoring your LLM app using Galileo.

Creating And Using Stages

Invoking Rulesets

Defining Rules

Your Protect Rules rely on [Guardrail Metrics](/galileo/gen-ai-studio-products/galileo-protect/how-to/supported-metrics-and-operators). Metrics are calculated using ML models, which can have varying latencies.

Setting A Timeout On Your Protect Requests

When you're using the Galileo Protect product, once you've created a project and a stage, you can pause and resume the stage.

Pausing Or Resuming A Stage

Editing Centralized Stages

Galileo Protect can also be used within your Langchain workflows. You can use Protect to validate inputs and outputs at different stages of your workflow. We provide a `tool` that allows you to easily integrate Protect into your Langchain workflows. 

All of the Rules within a Ruleset are executed in parallel, and the final resolution depends on all of the rules being completed.

Ruleset

A condition or rule you never want your application to break. It's composed of three ingredients

Galileo will provide a set of action types (override, passthrough), that the user can use, along with a configuration for each action type.

Finetuning an LLM often requires large datasets.

Visualizing And Understanding Your Data

It is crucial to quickly identify errors in ML training data and fix them. This is incredibly hard to do at scale when working with millions of data points.

Using Data Error Potential

On dataset splits where generations are enabled (e.g. the _Test split_), you'll be seeing Uncertainty Scores and Token-level Uncertainty highlighting

The following guide will walk you through steps you can take to make sure your Galileo cluster is properly deployed and running well.

Dimension	Central	Local
Ruleset Definition	During stage creation (i.e. `gp.create_stage` step) before invocation.	Within the `gp.invoke` function, during the invocation.
Stage Versioning	Central stage definitions can be updated and applied to all future invocations.	New versions are created to match the ruleset definitions within the invocation.
Stage Management	Central stage updated by using `gp.update_stage`.	Local stages definitions can be updated in the `gp.invoke` invocation.
Stage Pause / Resumption	Central stage definitions can be paused and resumed.	Local stages are created and invoked can be paused or resumed.
