This course equips machine learning practitioners with the essential tools, techniques, and best practices for evaluating both generative and predictive AI models. Model evaluation is a critical discipline for ensuring that ML systems deliver reliable, accurate, and high-performing results in production. Participants will gain a deep understanding of various evaluation metrics, methodologies, and their appropriate application across different model types and tasks. The course will emphasize the unique challenges posed by generative AI models and provide strategies for tackling them effectively. By leveraging Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform, participants will learn how to implement robust evaluation processes for model selection, optimization, and continuous monitoring.
This course delves into the complexities of assessing the quality of large language model outputs. It examines the challenges enterprises face due to the subjective and sometimes incorrect nature of LLM responses, including hallucinations and inconsistent results. The course introduces various evaluation metrics for different tasks like classification, text generation, and question answering, such as Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1 score, ROUGE, BLEU, and Exact Match. It also explores evaluation methods offered by Vertex AI LLM Evaluation Services, including computation-based, autorater, and human evaluation, providing insights into their application and benefits. Finally, the module covers how to unit test LLM applications within Vertex AI.
