Task Completion

​

Evaluation Using Interface

• Required Inputs:
  • input: The task request or question.
  • output: The response to evaluate.

• Result: Returns ‘Passed’ if the response successfully completes the requested task, ‘Failed’ if it doesn’t.
• Reason: A detailed explanation of why the response was classified as successfully completing the task or not.

• Required Inputs:
  • input: string - The task request or question.
  • output: string - The response to evaluate.

• Result: Returns a list containing ‘Passed’ if the response successfully completes the requested task, or ‘Failed’ if it doesn’t.
• Reason: Provides a detailed explanation of the evaluation.

result = evaluator.evaluate(
    eval_templates="task_completion",
    inputs={
        "input": "Why doesn't honey go bad?",
        "output": "Honey doesn't spoil because its low moisture and high acidity prevent the growth of bacteria and other microbes."
    },
    model_name="turing_flash"
)

print(result.eval_results[0].output)
print(result.eval_results[0].reason)

['Passed']
The evaluation is 'Passed' because the response directly and completely answers the question asked.

- The response **directly addresses** the specific question of why honey doesn't spoil.
- It provides a **clear explanation** identifying the two key factors (low moisture and high acidity) that prevent spoilage.
- The answer explains the **mechanism of preservation** by stating how these factors specifically affect bacteria and microbes.
- The information provided is **scientifically accurate** and matches established knowledge about honey preservation.

A different evaluation is not possible because the response accomplishes exactly what was requested - explaining why honey doesn't go bad.

​

What to do If you get Undesired Results

• Make sure the response directly addresses the specific task or question asked
• Ensure all parts of multi-part questions or requests are addressed
• Provide complete information without assuming prior knowledge
• For how-to requests, include clear, actionable steps
• For questions seeking explanations, provide the reasoning or mechanisms behind the answer
• Consider whether the task requires specific formatting, calculations, or output types
• Verify that the response is accurate and relevant to the specific task

Comparing Task Completion with Similar Evals

• Completeness: While Task Completion evaluates whether a response successfully accomplishes a requested task, Completeness focuses specifically on whether all required information is included.
• Instruction Adherence: Task Completion evaluates whether a response accomplishes the requested task, whereas Instruction Adherence measures how well the response follows specific instructions.
• Is Helpful: Task Completion focuses on successful completion of a task, while Is Helpful evaluates the overall usefulness of a response.
