LLM as an Evaluator

Overview

This project leverages large language models (LLMs) to evaluate biomedical question-answering datasets. The primary dataset used is MEDIQA. The goal is to provide a robust evaluation framework for biomedical QA systems.

Setup

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• pip

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/llm-as-a-evaluator.git
   cd llm-as-a-evaluator

2. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Download the MEDIQA dataset and place it in the data/mediqa directory.

API Key

To use the LLMs, you need to obtain an API key from Groq. Groq offers free API keys. Set the API key as an environment variable or in a .env file.

Obtaining Groq API Key

1. Visit the Groq Console.
2. Sign in or create an account.
3. Navigate to the API Keys section.
4. Generate a new API key and copy it.
5. Set the API key as an environment variable:

   export GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key_here

6. Alternatively, create a .env file in the project root and add the API key:

   GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key_here
   

Features

• Data Preprocessing: Scripts to preprocess the MEDIQA dataset.
• Model Evaluation: Tools to evaluate QA models using LLMs.
• Analysis Notebooks: Jupyter notebooks for detailed analysis.
