50 expert questions covering beginner fundamentals to advanced AI workflow scenarios. Each answer includes a hint for structured responses.
Beginner
5 questionsA strong answer explains that it involves systematically assessing AI-generated outputs for accuracy, safety, and usefulness, and that it protects brand trust, reduces legal risk, and improves user experience.
The answer should define hallucination as when an AI generates plausible-sounding but factually incorrect or fabricated information, and provide a concrete example such as a fake citation or invented statistic.
A good answer includes accuracy/factual correctness, coherence, relevance to the prompt, tone/appropriateness, completeness, safety, and absence of bias.
Accuracy refers to whether the content is factually correct, while relevance measures whether the content actually addresses the user's query or intent-both can fail independently.
The answer should explain that evaluator findings directly inform prompt improvements, and understanding prompt engineering helps evaluators distinguish between model limitations and prompt-induced errors.
Intermediate
10 questionsA strong answer outlines specific dimensions (accuracy of information, tone matching brand voice, completeness of resolution, empathy, safety), weighted scoring, and calibration examples for each level.
The answer should cover cross-referencing with authoritative medical sources, involving domain experts in evaluation, flagging confidence levels, and implementing stricter scoring thresholds for clinical content.
A comprehensive answer discusses BLEU, ROUGE, BERTScore, and LLM-as-judge approaches, explaining that automated metrics struggle with semantic nuance, creativity, and factual verification.
The answer should cover demographic representation analysis, sentiment analysis across identity groups, stereotyping detection, and the importance of diverse evaluation teams.
A good answer explains Cohen's kappa or Fleiss' kappa, describes calibration sessions and annotation guidelines, and emphasizes that low agreement indicates rubric ambiguity or training gaps.
The answer should cover leveraging multilingual evaluation metrics, recruiting native-speaker evaluators, using back-translation for spot-checking, and adapting rubrics for cultural context.
The answer should explain Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback, how evaluators provide preference rankings that become training signals, and the distinction between evaluation for QA versus evaluation for alignment.
A strong answer describes a tiered system where automated metrics handle initial triage, flagging edge cases and low-confidence scores for human review, with sampling-based human audits of high-scoring outputs.
The answer explains that automated metrics are scalable but limited to surface-level or embedding similarity, while human evaluation captures nuance but is expensive-best practice combines both.
A good answer covers running multiple evaluations with the same prompt, measuring variance in quality scores, assessing semantic consistency rather than exact match, and documenting acceptable variance thresholds.
Advanced
10 questionsA strong answer describes weighted aggregation, confidence intervals for each method, calibration of LLM-as-judge against human ground truth, and statistical validation of the combined score.
The answer should cover adversarial evaluation strategies, expert-in-the-loop verification, source triangulation, and designing evaluation categories specifically for misleading-but-plausible content.
A nuanced answer discusses tiered safety levels by context, user research on acceptable content boundaries, A/B testing filter sensitivity, and the cost of both over-filtering and under-filtering.
The answer covers structured data formats for evaluation feedback, regular quality review cadences with ML teams, translating evaluation scores into actionable training data, and measuring whether changes improve quality over time.
A strong answer includes involving subject matter experts in rubric design, compliance-specific evaluation criteria (HIPAA, MiFID II), audit trails for evaluations, and escalation procedures for critical errors.
The answer should cover red-teaming methodologies, adversarial prompt libraries, multi-turn conversation testing, and evaluating model robustness across different attack vectors like jailbreaking and prompt injection.
The answer discusses consensus-based evaluation with multiple judges, relative preference ranking rather than absolute scoring, defining quality tiers rather than single scores, and using anchor examples for calibration.
A comprehensive answer covers modality-specific rubrics, cross-modal coherence assessment, specialized evaluators for each modality, and unified quality scoring that weights modalities by use case.
The answer should include brand voice documentation, embedding-based similarity measures against brand exemplars, human evaluation by brand stakeholders, and longitudinal tracking of alignment scores.
A strong answer covers sampling gold-standard items in evaluation batches, tracking individual evaluator drift over time, using Krippendorff's alpha for multi-rater agreement, and implementing automated quality gates.
Scenario-Based
10 questionsThe answer should include sampling and categorizing complaint types, designing a financial accuracy rubric with domain experts, running systematic evaluation, identifying root causes (training data vs. prompting), and implementing monitoring.
A strong answer covers collaborating with legal experts on accuracy criteria, defining evaluation dimensions (completeness, accuracy, risk flagging, terminology), establishing severity levels for errors, and planning ongoing monitoring.
The answer should include root cause analysis (insufficient grounding data, prompt issues), implementing product data validation pipelines, designing a hallucination scoring rubric, and establishing automated checks with human escalation.
The answer covers age-appropriate language and complexity, fact-checking against curriculum standards, safety and content policy considerations, engagement and readability metrics, and parental/educator involvement in evaluation design.
The answer should describe creating a brand voice rubric with examples, using embedding similarity against human-written brand exemplars, involving brand managers in calibration, and scoring tone, vocabulary, and visual-textual coherence.
A comprehensive answer covers medical terminology accuracy checks, clinical expert review panels, severity-weighted error scoring, mandatory human review for high-risk content types, and compliance with healthcare regulations.
The answer should investigate metric limitations, examine whether automated metrics miss semantic errors, recalibrate human evaluators for consistency, identify the specific failure modes automated metrics can't detect, and propose hybrid evaluation.
The answer covers recruiting native-speaker evaluators per language, adapting rubrics for cultural and linguistic nuance, using multilingual automated metrics, prioritizing languages by business impact, and establishing language-specific quality baselines.
The answer should cover stratified sampling, tiered evaluation (automated triage β human review of flagged items), evaluator specialization by domain, quality assurance via random audits, and clear escalation paths.
The answer covers comparing pre/post-update evaluation scores across all dimensions, identifying specific regression patterns, creating an incident report with examples, recommending rollback or mitigation, and establishing regression testing for future updates.
AI Workflow & Tools
10 questionsA strong answer describes defining eval data formats, creating custom eval classes, using the registry for different evaluation logic, running evaluations against model outputs, and integrating results into quality dashboards.
The answer covers using LangChain's evaluation chains, custom LLM-as-judge chains with structured output, LangSmith for tracing and debugging evaluations, and batch evaluation with result aggregation.
The answer should describe loading standard and custom evaluation metrics, integrating with HuggingFace datasets, using lm-eval-harness for standardized benchmarking, and combining multiple metrics into composite scores.
A strong answer covers using Comprehend for sentiment analysis, entity recognition, and toxicity detection, Bedrock for LLM-as-judge evaluation, and integrating these services into a serverless evaluation workflow.
The answer should cover data ingestion and cleaning, aggregating scores by content type, model version, and evaluator, time-series analysis for trend detection, statistical tests for significance, and visualization with matplotlib or seaborn.
The answer covers API integration for task creation and result retrieval, mapping platform-specific schemas to your evaluation data model, combining human scores with automated scores, and quality auditing of human evaluations.
