A Framework for Building Micro Metrics for LLM System Evaluation
LLM accuracy is a challenging topic to address and is much more multi-dimensional than a simple accuracy score. Denys Linkov introduces a framework for creating micro metrics to evaluate LLM systems, focusing on goal-aligned metrics that improve performance and reliability. By adopting an iterative "crawl, walk, run" methodology, teams can incrementally develop observability.
