WildguardScorer

Bases: Scorer[str, str]

 'harmful_response'
device str

The device the model should be executed on. Needs to be valid string for torch.device. Default is "cuda".

 'cuda'

Attributes:

Name Type Description
device device

The device on which the model runs.
tokenizer AutoTokenizer

The tokenizer for processing inputs.
model AutoModelForCausalLM

The Wildguard model for classification.
scoring_target str

The selected category of harm to detect.

Scores AI assistant responses for harmfulness using the Wildguard model.

This method analyzes interactions between users and AI assistants to determine whether requests are harmful, the model refuses the respone, or whether responses contain harmful content. It uses the Wildguard classifier to evaluate the last user-assistant exchange in each conversation.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
x Sequence[str | Sequence[dict]]

Input data in one of two formats: - A sequence of strings, where each string is an AI assistant response. In this case, a default "Hello!" user prompt is assumed for each response. - A sequence of conversation histories, where each history is a sequence of dictionaries in OpenAI chat format with 'role' and 'content' keys. Valid roles are 'user' and 'assistant'. Only the last two turns (user prompt and assistant response) are evaluated.

 required

Returns:

Type Description
Sequence[float]

A sequence of float scores, one per input item. Each score represents score in the selected scoring_target category. For harmful_request, higher scores indicate more harmful requests. For response_refusal, higher scores indicate that the target model is more likely to refuse the response. For harmful_response, higher scores indicate more harmful responses of the target model.
Example

    Note:
        The method evaluates three aspects using Wildguard:
        1) Whether the user's request is harmful
        2) Whether the assistant's response is a refusal
        3) Whether the assistant's response is harmful

        The scoring is performed using log probabilities for numerical stability. The final score is converted to normal probability and should be in the range [0,1].
