Model Summary

Flow-Judge-v0.1 is a compact yet powerful 3.8B model that offers customizable LLM system evaluations across various fields. The model inherits it's architecture from Phi-3.5-mini instruct model which enables Flow-Judge to deliver high-quality results while maintaining a small footprint. Despite its smaller size, it achieves performance comparable to larger models in both held-out and out-of-domain benchmarks. Flow-Judge-v0.1 supports multiple scoring scales, provides qualitative feedback, and generates structured evaluation outputs. Trained on a smaller synthetic dataset, it represents an efficient approach to AI development. Released under the Apache 2.0 license, Flow Judge is an open and accessible model suitable for developers and companies seeking cost-effective and rapid evaluations using custom rubrics.

Intended Use Case

Flow Judge is intended to be used on custom LLM system evaluation tasks.

• Customizable evaluations: Users can define their own evaluation criteria and rubrics, tailoring Flow Judge to their specific needs and requirements. This flexibility allows for the creation of highly targeted assessments that accurately measure performance of their LLM system

• Flow Judge supports three different scoring scales:

  • Pass/fail: Suitable for binary assessments, such as determining whether a piece of text meets a specific standard or contains errors.
  • 3-Likert: Allows for more granular evaluations, with scores ranging from negative to neutral to positive. Useful for assessing the overall quality or sentiment of a piece of text.
  • 5-Likert: Provides an even more nuanced assessment, with scores ranging from strongly negative to strongly positive, enabling users to capture subtle differences in quality or sentiment.

• Easy to interpret results:

  • Flow Judge produces structured evaluations with <feedback> and <score> tags.
    • Qualitative feedback: Flow Judge detects errors and grades outputs and provides qualitative feedback that explains its reasoning for assigning a particular score from the rubric while highlighting problematic parts of the responses.
    • Score: Based on a grading rubric Flow Judge will return a numerical score on binary, likert-3 or likert-5 scale.

Training

Model

Flow Judge is based on the Phi-3.5-mini architecture, and the base model checkpoint used is specifically its instruct version. The model uses the same tokenizer, supports MQA and Flash Attention 2, and has weights in bfloat16 precision. However, post-finetuning, the model's support for languages and long context lengths has not been fully tested. Due to specialized Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), Flow Judge might show different benchmark results and support a maximum context length of 8192, shorter than the base model's.

Training Datasets

Flow-Judge-v0.1 has been trained on synthetically generated datasets. The construction of training datasets for Flow Judge involves a multi-step process:

1. Manually curating seed rubrics to serve as a foundation
2. Synthetically generating domain-adapted metrics and rubrics for various domains
3. Synthetically generating training instances with multiple inputs, such as user queries and contextual information
4. Employing a dual-evaluation strategy with consensus to ensure quality and consistency

This process creates a comprehensive and diverse set of training instances that enable accurate, domain-specific evaluations of LLM systems in generative AI products while minimizing human intervention.

Fine-tuning

For fine-tuning we used Axolotl's preprocessing to ensure input training data is consistent. We then conducted supervised fine-tuning based on microsoft/Phi-3.5-mini-instruct using RSLoRa. More detailed information about the fine-tuning process is provided in our technical report.

<customer_query>
Subject: Issues with recent order #12345
Hello,
I recently received my order #12345, but I'm having a few problems:
1. The blue t-shirt I ordered is actually green. Can I exchange it?
2. The phone case doesn't fit my iPhone 13 Pro Max. The website said it was compatible.
3. I was charged for express shipping, but it took over a week to arrive. Can I get a refund on the shipping cost?
Please let me know how we can resolve these issues. I've been a loyal customer for years and this is the first time I've had problems like this.
Thank you,
Jane Smith

License

We opted for the Apache 2.0 license for Flow Judge to provide the community with an open, small yet powerful LM evaluator. Our goal is to support the wider adoption of rigorous evaluation techniques in LLM system development, making them more accessible to practitioners and researchers.

Limitations and future work

Multilingual evaluation: Flow Judge has been fine-tuned exclusively on English data. While the foundation model (Phi-3.5-mini-instruct [17]) may possess multilingual capabilities, we have not systematically evaluated Flow Judge performance in non-English contexts. We plan to explore multi-lingual LM evaluators in the future.

Long context and structured Inputs: Our training dataset encompasses a wide range of custom metrics relevant to evaluating LLM systems. However, it does not include examples with long context inputs or structured data formats such as JSON, since these are harder to synthetically generate. This limitation may impact Flow Judge's performance when evaluating responses that require processing extensive context or parsing structured input. Extending our model’s capabilities to handle these input types represents an important area for future research.

Math and coding: The current version has not been trained on specific task domains such as arithmetic problems or code evaluation. As a result, its performance in these specialized areas may be limited. Future iterations of the model should address these gaps.

Domain-specific knowledge and complex multi-step evaluations: Flow Judge may struggle with highly specialized domain knowledge or proprietary data outside the training scope of its foundation model. Additionally, evaluation tasks requiring multi-step reasoning or complex logical processes may challenge the model's capabilities. We strongly recommend conducting meta-evaluations of the model performance before deploying it in specialized or highly complex evaluation scenarios.
