This video delves into the foundational text-based evaluation models for Large Language Models (LLMs), focusing on METEOR and Perplexity, and their significance in promoting fairness in AI applications. METEOR, which stands for Metric for Evaluation of Translation with Explicit Ordering, goes beyond traditional metrics by considering synonyms, paraphrasing, and stemming to ensure nuanced language understanding. Perplexity measures how well a model predicts text, offering insights into its language processing capabilities with lower values indicating better predictive accuracy. Additionally, the video highlights the importance of fairness evaluation metrics in ensuring equitable treatment across all demographic groups by analyzing differences in model performance, such as error rates and prediction biases. By the end of this session, you'll understand how these metrics not only enhance model performance but also safeguard against biases, fostering trust and fairness in AI technologies.

This video explores how to evaluate non-text generative AI models that produce images, sounds, and videos, aiming for content that is smooth, realistic, and engaging. We discuss subjective and objective evaluation methods: subjective evaluations rely on human judgment concerning visual appeal and emotional impact, while objective evaluations use metrics like PSNR for clarity in images and spectral flatness for sound quality. For instance, AI-generated images are assessed for resolution and emotional resonance, sounds for quality and emotional effect, and videos for visual quality and temporal coherence. This ensures the AI-generated media not only meets technical standards but also resonates emotionally with users. By combining these approaches, the video prepares you to assess the effectiveness of AI in creating media that is both technically proficient and appealing to audiences, highlighting the importance of balanced evaluations in developing useful and engaging AI applications.

This video concludes our course by emphasizing the vital role of human evaluation in assessing generative AI models. We explore how AI can sometimes produce misleading or inaccurate content, often referred to as 'hallucinations', and why human oversight is crucial to ensure the reliability and trustworthiness of AI outputs. We introduce the IVO (Immediately Validate Output) test, a simple yet effective tool to verify AI-generated content quickly and ensure it meets user needs. This involves post-grounding, where users compare AI outputs against established facts to verify accuracy. Additionally, we discuss the broader implications of human evaluation, such as maintaining fairness and ethical standards, preventing biases, and ensuring AI aligns with human values. By integrating human insights with algorithmic efficiency, we can evaluate creative and contextual aspects that AI might overlook, making AI evaluations more comprehensive and aligned with societal expectations.
