Sessions
Many organizations are eager to build and deploy their own large language models (LLMs), but validating them can feel frustrating and incomplete. Fortunately, as data scientists we are experts in model diagnostics, and we can extend these same principles to LLM validation. In this talk, I will present a scientific approach to evaluating custom text generation models in Python across several dimensions such as safety, coherence, and correctness.
