Detecting Issues in LLM Outputs

Run in Google ColabRun in Google Colab

This comprehensive tutorial outlines various Cleanlab Studio workflows to improve your Large Language Model (LLM) applications. If you haven’t already, please first check out the Text Data quickstart tutorial (useful for any application involving text data, whether LLM-based or not; especially useful if you’re using LLMs for text classification), as well as Cleanlab’s Trustworthy Language Model (provides confidence-estimates for LLM outputs, generates more accurate LLM responses, and can find low-quality prompt,response pairs in a fine-tuning dataset). The tutorial here showcases additional benefits of Cleanlab Studio in applications involving any text-generating LLM. Here we use a customer service requests dataset, where our LLM simulates the role of a customer service agent. You can apply the same techniques in any other LLM applications.

Install and import dependencies

Make sure you have wget installed to run this tutorial. You can use pip to install all other packages required for this tutorial as follows:

%pip install scikit-learn cleanlab-studio
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer
import re
import os

from IPython.display import display, Markdown
pd.set_option("display.max_colwidth", None)

Fetch and view dataset

To fetch the data for this tutorial, make sure you have wget installed.

wget -nc https://cleanlab-public.s3.amazonaws.com/Datasets/llm-customer-service-prompts.csv -P data
wget -nc https://cleanlab-public.s3.amazonaws.com/Datasets/llm-customer-service.csv -P data
BASE_PATH = os.getcwd()
prompt_path = os.path.join(BASE_PATH, "data/llm-customer-service-prompts.csv")
dataset_path = os.path.join(BASE_PATH, "data/llm-customer-service.csv")

In this tutorial, we take a look at a dataset that contains various customer service requests. Here are a few sample queries:

prompts = pd.read_csv(prompt_path)
prompts.sample(5)
request
181 want assistance to make a claim
53 I need assistance to download the bill #00108
88 i need assistance to get the invoice from {{Person Name}}
122 where to reset my fucking account pass ?
165 can uhelp me demanding a rebate

Responses to these requests are obtained from two sources:

  1. We run the requests through an LLM, and instruct the LLM to simulate a customer service agent and generate responses. That is done in a separate notebook here which generates responses with Llama 2 or OpenAI LLMs. This tutorial simply loads these already-generated responses, which could come from any LLM.

  2. Other requests have human-written responses (these can be from any company’s customer service department) that might be used for fine-tuning text-generation models.

We then combined these two sources of responses into a single dataset containing customer service request and response pairs. Then, we use a real_or_synthetic column to specify if each response was written by a human agent or generated from a language model.

data = pd.read_csv(dataset_path)
data.head(3)

Launch Cleanlab Studio project

Our data analysis starts by creating a Studio object and loading the data, which may take a while for big datasets.

from cleanlab_studio import Studio

# you can find your Cleanlab Studio API key by going to app.cleanlab.ai/upload,
# clicking "Upload via Python API", and copying the API key there
API_KEY = "<insert your API key>"

# initialize studio object
studio = Studio(API_KEY)
dataset_id = studio.upload_dataset(dataset_path, dataset_name="llm-customer-service")
print(f"Dataset ID: {dataset_id}")

After it’s loaded, we can use the dataset’s id to create a Project in Cleanlab Studio, which automatically trains ML models to provide AI-based analysis of your dataset.

Here we specify: this is a text dataset, the text is stored in the response column, and labels for this text are in the real_or_synthetic column. This particular type of label enables a particular analysis we’ll run to evaluate our LLM outputs.

project_id = studio.create_project(
dataset_id,
project_name="llm-customer-service-project",
modality="text",
model_type="regular",
text_column="response",
label_column="real_or_synthetic",
)
print(f"Project successfully created and training has begun! project_id: {project_id}")

Once the project has been launched successfully and you see your project_id you can feel free to close this notebook. It will take some time for Cleanlab’s AI to train on your data and analyze it. Come back after training is complete (you will receive an email) and continue with the notebook to review your results.

Warning! For big datasets, this next cell may take a long time to execute while Cleanlab’s AI model is training. If your Jupyter notebook has timed out during this process then you can resume work by re-running the below cell (which should return instantly if the project has completed training; do not create a new project).

cleanset_id = studio.get_latest_cleanset_id(project_id)
print(f"cleanset_id: {cleanset_id}")
project_status = studio.wait_until_cleanset_ready(cleanset_id)

Download Results

When the previous cell completes execution, your project results are ready! Let’s get the results and merge them with our original dataset.

If at any point you want to re-run the remaining parts of this notebook (without creating a new project), simply call studio.download_cleanlab_columns(cleanset_id) with the cleanset_id printed from the previous cell.

cleanset_df = studio.download_cleanlab_columns(cleanset_id)
original_df = pd.read_csv(dataset_path)

results_df = original_df.merge(cleanset_df, left_index=True, right_index=True)

All our results and analysis below will be conducted on this results_df DataFrame.

Analyzing LLM generated text quality compared to human responses

Let’s use the project results to evaluate our LLM generated text.

Our first evaluation focuses on the overall quality of LLM generated responses compared to human responses, analyzing how realistic, original and varied the LLM-generated synthetic responses are. This first analysis is done at a global dataset-level (rather than comparing one specific LLM response to one specific human response for the same request), helping you understand trends in the LLM’s overall behavior.

More details on evaluating synthetically generated data are provided in the Synthetic Data Quality tutorial.

Cleanlab Studio also offers a utility method for assessing the quality of the LLM-generated responses. This scoring system aids in selecting the most suitable LLM and refining the prompt engineering process.

from cleanlab_studio.utils.synthetic import score_synthetic_dataset

score_synthetic_dataset(results_df)
    Number of real examples: 100
Number of synthetic examples: 200





{'unrealistic': 0.7969016626955,
'unrepresentative': 0.7469829320620001,
'unvaried': 0.015,
'unoriginal': 0.005}

The 4 returned scores quantify different shortcomings of the synthetic dataset:

  • Unrealistic: Evaluates how distinguishable the synthetic data appears from real data.
    High values indicate there are many unrealistic-looking synthetic samples which look obviously fake

  • Unrepresentative: Evaluates how poorly represented the real data is amongst the synthetic data samples.
    High values indicate there exist tails of the real data distribution (rare scenarios) that the distribution of synthetic samples fails to capture

  • Unvaried: Evaluates the diversity among synthetic samples.
    High values indicate a non-diverse synthetic data generator that produces many similar samples which look like near duplicates of other synthetic samples

  • Unoriginal: Evaluates the lack of novelty of the synthetic data.
    High values indicate many synthetic samples are near duplicates of an example from the real dataset, i.e. the synthetic data generator may be memorizing the real data too closely and failing to generalize

Unrealistic LLM responses

Cleanlab Studio automatically detects unrealistic LLM-generated responses that do not resemble human responses and look obviously model-generated. This was achieved by training a classifier to distinguish between human and LLM responses, which identifies patterns that tend to be uniquely present within LLM responses (or appear significantly more often than in the human responses).

These unrealistic LLM responses tend to share similar phrases that occur much less frequently in the human given responses. To help visualize these phrases, we highlight N-grams that are most significantly over-enriched in the unrealistic responses vs the real human responses.

Optional: Initialize helper methods to visualize top over-enriched N-grams among unrealistic LLM responses. (click to expand)

def sort_overrepresented_ngrams(text_examples, reference_examples, ngram_range=(2,5), pseudocount=10):

# obtain n-gram counts
text_count = np.squeeze(np.asarray(np.sum(vectorizer.transform(text_examples), axis=0)))
reference_count = np.squeeze(np.asarray(np.sum(vectorizer.transform(reference_examples), axis=0)))
ngrams = vectorizer.get_feature_names_out()

# get the occurence ratio for each n-gram from the text examples w.r.t. the reference examples
ngram_ratio = (text_count + pseudocount) / (reference_count + pseudocount)

# sort ngrams according to occurrence ratio (in descending order)
sorted_ngrams = ngrams[np.argsort(ngram_ratio)][::-1]

return sorted_ngrams

def custom_ngram_analyzer(min_length, max_length):
def ngrams_per_line(text):
for line in text.split('\n'):
# tokenize the input string

The highlighted phrases are repeated at a high volume among these examples (and appear significantly less frequently among the human-written responses). These LLM generated responses identified as unrealistic also share other elements:

  • they start with a generic phrase such as “Thank you for reaching out to us!”
  • they have a templated sign-off such as “Best regards, [Your Name]
  • they have repeated phrases of text such as “Sincerely, Customer Service [Customer Service][Customer Service]

This analysis reveals some obvious ways in which the LLM responses overall tend to stand out from the human customer service responses. If you prefer your LLM responses not to exhibit these unique characteristics, consider modifying your prompts, or applying automated post-processing to the LLM-responses (e.g. to filter/substitute certain phrases via regular expressions).

Unvaried LLM responses

Cleanlab Studio automatically detects unvaried LLM-generated responses, which are near or exact duplicates of other LLM generated text. A high occurrence of such responses indicates the LLM tends to operate with limited rather than diverse modes of behavior. This may be a good thing, depending on your application, but it’s regardless good to know what sorts of responses the LLM is repeating across different requests.

Let’s look at some unvaried responses for our dataset:

unvaried_synthetic_samples = filter_synthetic_examples_duplicated(results_df, contains_real=False)

columns = ["request", "response", "real_or_synthetic", "label_issue_score"]
display(unvaried_synthetic_samples[columns].head())

Unoriginal LLM responses

Cleanlab Studio automatically detects unoriginal LLM responses, which closely resemble certain human responses. This behavior may be desirable (if our LLM is supposed to act human-like), or it could be a sign that the LLM is overly memorizing certain human responses (especially when the LLM has been fine-tuned on these human responses and you see that the LLM is repeating certain human responses across very different queries).

Let’s look at an unoriginal response detected for this dataset:

unoriginal_synthetic_samples = filter_synthetic_examples_duplicated(results_df, contains_real=True)

Under-represented real responses

Cleanlab Studio automatically quantifies how unrepresentative the synthetic dataset overall, i.e. whether there are certain types of human written samples that are poorly represented amongst the synthetically generated data. Though it may not be crucial to identify which human agent responses are under-represented amongst LLM generated ones, such an analysis might be valuable when simulating customer requests, to ensure our synthetic data doesn’t cause us to overlook rare real-world requests. While our focus here is on the customer service agent’s response, the method demonstrated here can be broadly applied to any dataset where it is crucial to ensure the synthetic data does not under-represent certain real scenarios.

# Rank real data points by how unrepresented they are amongst in synthetic data:
unrepresentative_real_samples_ranked = results_df.query("real_or_synthetic == 'real'").sort_values("label_issue_score", ascending=True)

Identifying text issues in each LLM response

The previous section contrasted LLM vs. human responses to understand overall differences at a dataset-level. That required human response data, whereas this section can be run even in settings where you have no human responses. Here we analyze each individual LLM response (independently of the other LLM responses) to identify potential concerns in the generated text such as: toxic language, nonsensical language (random strings with no meaning), informal language, or personally identifiable information (PII).

# subset our dataset to only consider LLM generated responses
llm_data = results_df[results_df["real_or_synthetic"] == "synthetic"]

Toxic responses

Informal responses

Cleanlab Studio automatically detects informal language, which contains slang and other casual statements, or poor writing such as improper grammar or spelling. If you don’t want informal text in your LLM responses but it is sometimes present, then consider explicitly stating within your prompts: ‘Use a formal tone’.

Here are some examples of the LLM-generated responses for this dataset identified as informal:

Identifying text issues in each human response

We can audit each response generated by our human customer service representatives, just as did for the LLM responses. This can be useful to improve the way employees interact with customers, or to ensure we are not fine-tuning our LLM on problematic human data.

# subset our dataset to only consider human responses
