Setting up rigorous testing protocols
Setting up rigorous testing protocols is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness and reliability of LLMs. These protocols are designed to thoroughly assess the model’s performance and ensure it meets the required standards before deployment. The following sections will provide a detailed exploration of how to set up such protocols.
Defining test cases
Defining test cases is a systematic approach to verifying that an LLM behaves as expected. Let’s take a closer look at what goes into this process:
- Typical cases: These are scenarios that the model is expected to encounter frequently. For an LLM, typical cases might involve common phrases or questions that it should be able to understand and respond to accurately. The purpose is to confirm that the model performs well under normal operating conditions.
- Boundary cases: These are situations that lie at the edge of the model’s operational parameters. For LLMs,...
