Great work on this! I created an issue because there isn't a discussion tab in this repo. Feel free to close if irrelevant.

It seems like the framework described here can be generalized to the following steps:

  1. You define a task with the prompt(s) for it, and a test set with a few "gold standard positive and negative examples".
  2. You run n generations
  3. You score the generations (either human in the loop or grader prompt or a combination of both)
  4. Tweak the task models / prompts / hyperparams and repeat

Right now, auto-evaluator is focused on qa with retrieval, but I can imagine that you could run the same process with:

  • Classification tasks (i.e. grader prompt: how well is the classifier doing?)
  • Summarization tasks (i.e. grader prompt: how accurately does the summary capture the target text)
  • Style transfer tasks (i.e. grader prompt: how much does this sound like X?)
  • Ranking tasks (i.e. grader prompt: how much does this order capture Y?)
  • ...

Maybe I'm thinking about it too broadly, but curious if that's the vision of where y'all see this project headed!
