To convey your individual agent to guage with this framework, discuss with the next README and comply with the detailed directions to deploy the Open Supply Bedrock Agent Analysis framework.

Overview of analysis metrics and enter information

First, we create pattern Amazon Bedrock brokers to display the capabilities of Open Supply Bedrock Agent Analysis. 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 forms of metrics:

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

Agent purpose metrics measure how properly an agent identifies and achieves the targets of the person. There are two fundamental sorts: reference-based analysis and no reference analysis. Examples might be present in Agent Objective accuracy as outlined by Ragas:

• Reference-based analysis – The person supplies a reference that will likely be used as the perfect final result. 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 targets 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 towards.

Job accuracy metrics measure how properly 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 based mostly on evaluating the precise agent reply towards the bottom reality dataset that should be supplied within the enter dataset. The duty accuracy metrics are solely evaluated when the corresponding software is used to reply the query.

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

• RAG:
  • Faithfulness – How factually constant a response is with the retrieved context
  • Reply relevancy – How straight and appropriately the unique query is addressed
  • Context recall – How lots of the related items of data have been efficiently retrieved
  • Semantic similarity – The evaluation of the semantic resemblance between the generated reply and the bottom reality
• Textual content-to-SQL:
• Chain-of-thought:
  • Helpfulness – How properly the agent satisfies specific and implicit expectations
  • Faithfulness – How properly the agent sticks to out there info and context
  • Instruction following – How properly the agent respects all specific 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 may 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 sort of agent on this publish.

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 display how you should utilize the Open Supply Bedrock Agent Analysis framework to guage pharmaceutical analysis brokers mentioned within the publish Speed up evaluation and discovery of most cancers biomarkers with Amazon Bedrock Brokers . It showcases quite a lot of specialised brokers, together with a biomarker database analyst, statistician, scientific proof researcher, and medical imaging knowledgeable in collaboration with a supervisor agent.

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

As proven within the diagram, the RAG evaluations will likely be performed on the scientific proof researcher sub-agent. Equally, text-to-SQL evaluations will likely 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 trade related pregenerated check questions. By creating teams of questions based mostly on their subject whatever the sub-agents that may be invoked to reply the query, we created trajectories that embrace a number of questions spanning a number of forms of software use. With related questions already generated, integrating with the analysis framework merely required correctly formatting the bottom reality information into trajectories.

We stroll via evaluating this agent towards 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 software use. This will likely be illustrated via a set of photos of agent hint and evaluations on the Langfuse dashboard.

After working the agent towards the trajectory, the outcomes are despatched to Langfuse to view the metrics. The next screenshot reveals 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 era and the corresponding sub-steps)
• Hint metadata (enter and output tokens, value, mannequin, agent sort)
• Analysis metrics (RAG and chain-of-thought metrics)

The next screenshot reveals 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 towards an Amazon Redshift database containing biomarker info.

The screenshot reveals the next info:

• Hint info (enter and output of agent invocation)
• Hint steps (agent era and the corresponding sub-steps)
