Evaluating LLM Systems

Vincent Chen

Product Leader
Snorkel AI

Rebekah Westerlind

Software Engineer
Snorkel AI

LLM evaluation is critical for generative AI in the enterprise, but measuring how well an LLM answers questions or performs tasks is difficult. Thus, LLM evaluations must go beyond standard measures of “correctness” to include a more nuanced and granular view of quality.

In practice, enterprise LLM evaluations (e.g., OSS benchmarks) often come up short because they’re slow, expensive, subjective, and incomplete. They leave AI initiatives blocked because there is no clear path to production quality.

In this session, Vincent Sunn Chen, Founding Engineer at Snorkel AI, and Rebekah Westerlind, Software Engineer at Snorkel AI, will discuss the importance of LLM evaluation, highlight common challenges and approaches, and explain the core concepts behind Snorkel AI's approach to data-centric LLM evaluation.

Join us to learn more about:

  • Understanding the nuances of LLM evaluation
  • Evaluating LLM response performance at scale
  • Identifying where additional LLM fine-tuning is needed

Enhancing RAG Pipelines for Enterprise-Specific Tasks: Strategies for Accuracy and Reliability

Bryan Woods

Machine Learning Solutions Engineer
Snorkel AI

In the realm of LLM-powered AI applications, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a pivotal component for enterprise use cases. However, to ensure responses are consistently accurate, helpful, and compliant, RAG pipelines must undergo meticulous optimization.
 
Critical to this process is the incorporation of only the most relevant information as context. This can be achieved through techniques such as semantic document chunking, fine-tuned embeddings, reranking models, and efficient context-window utilization.
 
In this presentation, we will:

  1. Introduce fundamental RAG concepts and outline a standard pipeline.
  2. Detail optimization strategies for each stage of a sophisticated RAG pipeline to ensure the LLM receives proper context.
  3. Demonstrate how to leverage Snorkel Flow to optimize RAG pipelines.

By attending, you will gain insights on how to:

  • Enhance LLM responses by minimizing retrieval errors.
  • Fine-tune various stages of the RAG pipeline.
  • Expedite the deployment of production-grade RAG applications.

Join us to elevate your RAG systems and drive superior AI outcomes for your enterprise.

Fine-Tuning and Aligning LLMs with Enterprise Data

Marty Moesta

Lead Product Manager, Generative AI
Snorkel AI

LLMs often require fine-tuning and alignment on domain-specific knowledge before they can accurately, and reliably, perform specialized tasks within the enterprise.

The key to transforming foundation models such as Meta's Llama 3 into specialized LLMs is high-quality training data which can be applied via fine-tuning and alignment.

In this webinar, we'll provide an overview of methods such as SFT and DPO, show how to curate high-quality instruction and preference data 10-100x faster (and at scale) and demonstrate how to fine-tune, align and evaluate an LLM.

Join us, and learn more about:

  • Curating high-quality training data 10-100x faster
  • Emerging LLM fine-tuning and alignment methods 
  • Evaluating LLM accuracy for production deployment
