trulens VS CodeSearchNet

Retrieval using a single vector is called dense passage retrieval (DPR), because an entire passage (dozens to hundreds of tokens) is encoded as a single vector. ColBERT instead encodes a vector-per-token, where each vector is influenced by surrounding context. This leads to meaningfully better results; for example, here’s ColBERT running on Astra DB compared to DPR using openai-v3-small vectors, compared with TruLens for the Braintrust Coda Help Desk data set. ColBERT easily beats DPR at correctness, context relevance, and groundedness.

3) Hallucination is probably the biggest problem we solve for. To do evals for hallucination, we typically see our users use a combination of groundedness (does the context support the LLM response) and context relevance (is the retrieved context relevant to the query). There's also a bunch more for the evaluations you mentioned (moderation models, sentiment, usefulness, etc.) and it's pretty easy to add custom evals.

Also - my hot take is that gpt-3.5 is good enough for evals (sometimes better) than gpt-4 if you give the LLM enough instructions on how to do the eval.

The team at TruEra recently released an open source project for evaluation & tracking of LLM applications called TruLens-Eval. We’ve specifically targeted retrieval-augmented QA as a core use case and so far we’ve seen it used for comparing different models and parameters, prompts, vector-db configurations and query planning strategies. I’d love to get your feedback on it.

The CodeSearchNet challenge provides a dataset of code documentation comments, along with pre-trained models and fine-tuning scripts. You can find the challenge and resources at https://github.com/github/CodeSearchNet.
