Turn Contextual Recall
Turn Contextual Recall is a multi-turn metric used to evaluate a RAG retriever at each turn
Overview
The turn contextual recall metric is a multi-turn RAG metric that uses LLM-as-a-judge to evaluate whether the context your retriever returns at each turn of the conversation is enough to reach the expected outcome.
Required Parameters
These are the parameters you must supply in your test case to run evaluations for turn contextual recall metric:
turnslist of TurnRequired
A list of Turns as exchanges between user and assistant.
Parameters of Turn:
roleuser | assistantRequired
The role of the person speaking, it's either user or assistant
contentstringRequired
The content provided by the role for the turn
retrieval_contextlist of stringRequired
The retrieved context your retriever outputs for the turn sorted by their rank
expected_outcomestringRequired
The expected outcome your chatbot has to reach for the given conversation.
How Is It Calculated?
The turn contextual recall metric slides a window over the turns, breaks the expected outcome down into individual statements using an LLM, then uses the same LLM to determine how many of those statements can be attributed to a node in the retrieval context.
The final score is the average of the contextual recall scores of every assistant turn in the conversation.
