Overview of analysis metrics and enter knowledge

First, we create pattern Amazon Bedrock brokers to reveal the capabilities of Open Source Bedrock Agent Evaluation. The text-to-SQL agent makes use of the BirdSQL Mini-Dev dataset, and the RAG agent makes use of the Hugging Face rag-mini-wikpedia dataset.

Analysis metrics

The Open Supply Bedrock Agent Analysis framework conducts evaluations on two broad sorts of metrics:

• Agent purpose – Chain-of-thought (run on each query)
• Activity accuracy – RAG, text-to-SQL (run solely when the particular instrument is used to reply query)

Agent purpose metrics measure how nicely an agent identifies and achieves the objectives of the person. There are two important varieties: reference-based analysis and no reference analysis. Examples will be present in Agent Goal accuracy as outlined by Ragas:

• Reference-based analysis – The person supplies a reference that shall be used as the perfect consequence. The metric is computed by evaluating the reference with the purpose achieved by the top of the workflow.
• Analysis with out reference – The metric evaluates the efficiency of the LLM in figuring out and reaching the objectives of the person with out reference.

We are going to showcase analysis with out reference utilizing chain-of-thought analysis. We conduct evaluations by evaluating the agent’s reasoning and the agent’s instruction. For this analysis, we use some metrics from the evaluator prompts for Amazon Bedrock LLM-as-a-judge. On this framework, the chain-of-thought evaluations are run on each query that the agent is evaluated in opposition to.

Activity accuracy metrics measure how nicely an agent calls the required instruments to finish a given job. For the 2 job accuracy metrics, RAG and text-to-SQL, evaluations are performed primarily based on evaluating the precise agent reply in opposition to the bottom fact dataset that should be offered within the enter dataset. The duty accuracy metrics are solely evaluated when the corresponding instrument is used to reply the query.

The next is a breakdown of the important thing metrics utilized in every analysis kind included within the framework:

• RAG:
  • Faithfulness – How factually constant a response is with the retrieved context
  • Answer relevancy – How immediately and appropriately the unique query is addressed
  • Context recall – How lots of the related items of knowledge had been efficiently retrieved
  • Semantic similarity – The evaluation of the semantic resemblance between the generated reply and the bottom fact
• Textual content-to-SQL:
• Chain-of-thought:
  • Helpfulness – How nicely the agent satisfies express and implicit expectations
  • Faithfulness – How nicely the agent sticks to out there info and context
  • Instruction following – How nicely the agent respects all express instructions

Consumer-agent trajectories

The enter dataset is within the type of trajectories, the place every trajectory consists of a number of inquiries to be answered by the agent. The trajectories are supposed to simulate how a person would possibly work together with the agent. Every trajectory consists of a novel question_id, question_type, query, and ground_truth info. The next are examples of precise trajectories used to guage every kind of agent on this submit.

For extra easy agent setups just like the RAG and text-to-SQL pattern agent, we created trajectories consisting of a single query, as proven within the following examples.

The next is an instance of a RAG pattern agent trajectory:

{
	"Trajectory0": [
		{
			"question_id": 0,
			"question_type": "RAG",
			"question": "Was Abraham Lincoln the sixteenth President of the United States?",
			"ground_truth": "yes"
		}
	]
}

The next is an instance of a text-to-SQL pattern agent trajectory:

{
	"Trajectory1": [
		{
			"question_id": 1,
			"question": "What is the highest eligible free rate for K-12 students in the schools in Alameda County?",
			"question_type": "TEXT2SQL",
			"ground_truth": {
				"ground_truth_sql_query": "SELECT `Free Meal Count (K-12)` / `Enrollment (K-12)` FROM frpm WHERE `County Name` = 'Alameda' ORDER BY (CAST(`Free Meal Count (K-12)` AS REAL) / `Enrollment (K-12)`) DESC LIMIT 1",
				"ground_truth_sql_context": "[{'table_name': 'frpm', 'columns': [('cdscode', 'varchar'), ('academic year', 'varchar'), ...",
				"ground_truth_query_result": "1.0",
				"ground_truth_answer": "The highest eligible free rate for K-12 students in schools in Alameda County is 1.0."
		}
	]
}

Pharmaceutical analysis agent use case instance

On this part, we reveal how you need to use the Open Supply Bedrock Agent Analysis framework to guage pharmaceutical research agents mentioned within the submit Accelerate analysis and discovery of cancer biomarkers with Amazon Bedrock Agents . It showcases quite a lot of specialised brokers, together with a biomarker database analyst, statistician, medical proof researcher, and medical imaging professional in collaboration with a supervisor agent.

The pharmaceutical analysis agent was constructed utilizing the multi-agent collaboration characteristic of Amazon Bedrock. The next diagram exhibits the multi-agent setup that was evaluated utilizing this framework.

As proven within the diagram, the RAG evaluations shall be performed on the medical proof researcher sub-agent. Equally, text-to-SQL evaluations shall be run on the biomarker database analyst sub-agent. The chain-of-thought analysis evaluates the ultimate reply of the supervisor agent to verify if it correctly orchestrated the sub-agents and answered the person’s query.

Analysis agent trajectories

For a extra complicated setup just like the pharmaceutical analysis brokers, we used a set of business related pregenerated take a look at questions. By creating teams of questions primarily based on their subject whatever the sub-agents that is likely to be invoked to reply the query, we created trajectories that embrace a number of questions spanning a number of sorts of instrument use. With related questions already generated, integrating with the analysis framework merely required correctly formatting the bottom fact knowledge into trajectories.

We stroll by way of evaluating this agent in opposition to a trajectory containing a RAG query and a text-to-SQL query:

{
	"Trajectory1": [
		{
			"question_id": 3,
			"question_type": "RAG",
			"question": "According to the knowledge base, how did the EGF pathway associate with CT imaging features?",
			"ground_truth": "The EGF pathway was significantly correlated with the presence of ground-glass opacity and irregular nodules or nodules with poorly defined margins."
		},
		{
			"question_id": 4,
			"question_type": "TEXT2SQL",
			"question": "According to the database, What percentage of patients have EGFR mutations?",
			"ground_truth": {
				"ground_truth_sql_query": "SELECT (COUNT(CASE WHEN EGFR_mutation_status="Mutant" THEN 1 END) * 100.0 / COUNT(*)) AS percentage FROM clinical_genomic;",
				"ground_truth_sql_context": "Table clinical_genomic: - Case_ID: VARCHAR(50) - EGFR_mutation_status: VARCHAR(50)",
				"ground_truth_query_result": "14.285714",
				"ground_truth_answer": "According to the query results, approximately 14.29% of patients in the clinical_genomic table have EGFR mutations."
			}
		}
	]
}

Chain-of-thought evaluations are performed for each query, no matter instrument use. This shall be illustrated by way of a set of photographs of agent hint and evaluations on the Langfuse dashboard.

After working the agent in opposition to the trajectory, the outcomes are despatched to Langfuse to view the metrics. The next screenshot exhibits the hint of the RAG query (query ID 3) analysis on Langfuse.

The screenshot shows the next info:

• Hint info (enter and output of agent invocation)
• Hint steps (agent technology and the corresponding sub-steps)
• Hint metadata (enter and output tokens, price, mannequin, agent kind)
• Analysis metrics (RAG and chain-of-thought metrics)

The next screenshot exhibits the hint of the text-to-SQL query (query ID 4) analysis on Langfuse, which evaluated the biomarker database analyst agent that generates SQL queries to run in opposition to an Amazon Redshift database containing biomarker info.

The screenshot exhibits the next info:

• Hint info (enter and output of agent invocation)
• Hint steps (agent technology and the corresponding sub-steps)
• Hint metadata (enter and output tokens, price, mannequin, agent kind)
• Analysis metrics (text-to-SQL and chain-of-thought metrics)

The chain-of-thought analysis is included in a part of each questions’ analysis traces. For each traces, LLM-as-a-judge is used to generate scores and rationalization round an Amazon Bedrock agent’s reasoning on a given query.

Total, we ran 56 questions grouped into 21 trajectories in opposition to the agent. The traces, mannequin prices, and scores are proven within the following screenshot.
