Evaluate Effective Use of Context Chunks

Evaluating how well a language model utilises provided context chunks is essential for ensuring accurate, relevant, and contextually appropriate responses. A model that effectively leverages context can generate more reliable and factually grounded outputs, reducing hallucinations and improving consistency.

Failure to properly utilise context can lead to:

• Incomplete responses – Missing relevant details present in the provided context.
• Context misalignment – The model generating responses that contradict or ignore the context.
• Inefficient information usage – Not fully leveraging the available context to improve accuracy.

To assess this, two key evaluations are used:

• Chunk Attribution
• Chunk Utilization

These evaluations help ensure that AI-generated responses are grounded in the provided information, improving reliability and accuracy.

​

1. Chunk Attribution

Evaluates whether a language model references the provided context chunks in its generated response. It checks whether the model acknowledges and utilises the context at all.

​

a. Using Interface

​

Required Inputs

• output: The generated response.
• context: The provided contextual information.

​

Optional Inputs

• input: The original query or instruction.

​

Output

Returns a Pass/Fail result:

• Pass – The response references the provided context.
• Fail – The response does not utilise the context.

b. Using SDK

from fi.testcases import TestCase
from fi.evals.templates import ChunkAttribution

test_case = TestCase(
    input="What is the capital of France?",
    output="According to the provided information, Paris is the capital city of France. It is a major European city and a global center for art, fashion, and culture.",
    context=[
        "Paris is the capital and largest city of France.",
        "France is a country in Western Europe.",
        "Paris is known for its art museums and fashion districts."
    ]
)

template = ChunkAttribution()

response = evaluator.evaluate(eval_templates=[template], inputs=[test_case], model_name="turing_flash")

print(f"Score: {response.eval_results[0].metrics[0].value}")
print(f"Reason: {response.eval_results[0].reason}")

​

2. Chunk Utilization

Measures how effectively the model integrates the retrieved context chunks into its response. Unlike Chunk Attribution, which only checks for references, Chunk Utilization assigns a score based on how well the context contributes to a meaningful response.

• Higher Score – The model extensively incorporates relevant chunks.
• Lower Score – The model includes minimal or no context.

​

a. Using Interface

​

Required Inputs

• output: The model’s generated response.
• context: The provided context chunks.

​

Optional Inputs

• input: The original query or instruction.

​

Output

• Score between 0 and 1, where higher values indicate better utilization of context.

b. Using SDK

from fi.testcases import TestCase
from fi.evals.templates import ChunkUtilization

test_case = TestCase(
    input="What is the capital of France?",
    output="According to the provided information, Paris is the capital city of France. It is a major European city and a global center for art, fashion, and culture.",
    context=[
        "Paris is the capital and largest city of France.",
        "France is a country in Western Europe.",
        "Paris is known for its art museums and fashion districts."
    ]
)

template = ChunkUtilization()

response = evaluator.evaluate(eval_templates=[template], inputs=[test_case], model_name="turing_flash")

print(f"Score: {response.eval_results[0].metrics[0].value}")
print(f"Reason: {response.eval_results[0].reason}")
