Japanese Specification for Answer Relevance

[TakutoIyanagi-littletree]

• I have checked the documentation and related resources and couldn't resolve my bug.

Your Question
I would like to use Answer Relevance for RAG evaluation in Japanese.
However, when I run it, the question is generated in English.
Is it possible to specify Japanese as the language in Answer Relevance?

Code Examples

import openai
from ragas.experimental.metrics._faithfulness import FaithfulnessExperimental
from ragas.metrics.base import get_segmenter
from ragas.llms import llm_factory
from ragas import evaluate
from datasets import Dataset
from ragas.metrics import (
    answer_relevancy,
)

# Ragasの評価用LLMの設定
LLM_NAME = "gpt-4o-mini"
ragas_llm = llm_factory(model=LLM_NAME)

dataset = Dataset.from_dict(
    {
        "question": questions,
        "answer": answers,
        "contexts": contexts,
        "ground_truth": ground_truths,
    }
) 

score = evaluate(
    dataset,
    llm=ragas_llm,
    metrics=[
        answer_relevancy,
        ],
                 )
print(score)
score.to_pandas()

Yes, it is possible to specify Japanese as the language in Answer Relevance for RAG evaluation. The ResponseRelevancy class in the ragas framework includes a method called adapt that allows the metric to be adapted to different languages, including Japanese. This method ensures that the question generation prompt and other relevant components are adjusted to work with the specified language ^[1][2].

To configure it, you need to adapt the ResponseRelevancy metric to Japanese. Here is an example of how you can modify your code:

import openai
from ragas.experimental.metrics._faithfulness import FaithfulnessExperimental
from ragas.metrics.base import get_segmenter
from ragas.llms import llm_factory
from ragas import evaluate
from datasets import Dataset
from ragas.metrics import (
    ResponseRelevancy,
)

# Ragasの評価用LLMの設定
LLM_NAME = "gpt-4o-mini"
ragas_llm = llm_factory(model=LLM_NAME)

# Adapt the ResponseRelevancy metric to Japanese
answer_relevancy = ResponseRelevancy()
answer_relevancy.adapt(language="japanese")

dataset = Dataset.from_dict(
    {
        "question": questions,
        "answer": answers,
        "contexts": contexts,
        "ground_truth": ground_truths,
    }
) 

score = evaluate(
    dataset,
    llm=ragas_llm,
    metrics=[
        answer_relevancy,
    ],
)
print(score)
score.to_pandas()

This should ensure that the questions are generated in Japanese.

The following error occurred.
ImportError: cannot import name 'ResponseRelevancy' from 'ragas.metrics' (/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/ragas/metrics/init.py)

[dosubot]

To resolve the ImportError: cannot import name 'ResponseRelevancy' from 'ragas.metrics', you should ensure that the ResponseRelevancy class is correctly imported from its actual location. The ResponseRelevancy class is defined in the src/ragas/metrics/_answer_relevance.py file.

Here is the correct way to import the ResponseRelevancy class:

from ragas.metrics._answer_relevance import ResponseRelevancy

Update your code to use this import statement:

import openai
from ragas.experimental.metrics._faithfulness import FaithfulnessExperimental
from ragas.metrics.base import get_segmenter
from ragas.llms import llm_factory
from ragas import evaluate
from datasets import Dataset
from ragas.metrics._answer_relevance import ResponseRelevancy

# Ragasの評価用LLMの設定
LLM_NAME = "gpt-4o-mini"
ragas_llm = llm_factory(model=LLM_NAME)

# Adapt the ResponseRelevancy metric to Japanese
answer_relevancy = ResponseRelevancy()
answer_relevancy.adapt(language="japanese")

dataset = Dataset.from_dict(
    {
        "question": questions,
        "answer": answers,
        "contexts": contexts,
        "ground_truth": ground_truths,
    }
) 

score = evaluate(
    dataset,
    llm=ragas_llm,
    metrics=[
        answer_relevancy,
    ],
)
print(score)
score.to_pandas()

This should resolve the import error and allow you to adapt the ResponseRelevancy metric to Japanese ^[1].

Ensure that you have this corrected version of the module and then try importing ResponseRelevancy again. This should resolve the ImportError ^[1].
