Overview
Ragas is an open source framework for model-based evaluation to evaluate your LLM applications by quantifying their performance on aspects such as correctness, tonality, hallucination, fluency, etc. More information can be found on the documentation page.
Installation
Install the Ragas integration:
pip install ragas-haystack
Usage
Once installed, you will have access to a RagasEvaluator that supports a variety of model-based evaluation metrics:
- Faithfulness
- Answer relevancy
- Context recall
- Context precision
- Aspect Critique
RagasEvaluator
To use this integration for calculating model-based evaluation metrics, initialize a RagasEvaluator with the metric name and optional metric input parameters:
# A valid OpenAI API key must be provided as an environment variable "OPENAI_API_KEY" to run this example.

"Python, created by Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s, is a high-level general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its language constructs aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for both small and large-scale software projects."
