# Evaluating RAG answer safety
2+
3+
When deploying a RAG app to production, you should evaluate the safety of the answers generated by the RAG flow. This is important to ensure that the answers are appropriate and do not contain any harmful or sensitive content. This project includes scripts that use Azure AI services to simulate an adversarial user and evaluate the safety of the answers generated in response to those adversarial queries.
4+
5+
* [Deploy an Azure AI project](#deploy-an-azure-ai-project)
6+
* [Simulate and evaluate adversarial users](#simulate-and-evaluate-adversarial-users)
7+
* [Review the safety evaluation results](#review-the-safety-evaluation-results)
8+
9+
## Deploy an Azure AI project
10+
11+
In order to use the adversarial simulator and safety evaluators, you need an Azure AI project inside an Azure AI Hub.
12+
13+
1. Run this command to tell `azd` to provision an Azure AI project and hub:
14+
15+
```shell
16+
azd env set USE_AI_PROJECT true
17+
```
18+
19+
2. Then, run the following command to provision the project:
20+
21+
```shell
22+
azd provision
23+
```
24+
25+
## Simulate and evaluate adversarial users
26+
27+
Run the following command to simulate adversarial queries and evaluate the safety of the answers generated in response to those queries:
28+
29+
```shell
30+
python evals/safety_evaluation.py --target_url <TARGET_URL> --max_simulations <MAX_RESULTS>
31+
```
32+
33+
* `--target_url`: The target URL for the callback. Default is `http://localhost:50505/chat`.
34+
* `--max_simulations`: The maximum number of simulated user queries. Default is `200`. The higher the number, the longer the evaluation will take. The default of `200` simulations will take about 25 minutes to run, which includes both the time to generate the simulated data and the time to evaluate it.
35+
36+
## Review the safety evaluation results
37+
38+
That command will generate a report in `safety_results.json`.
39+
Results will look like this:
40+
41+
```json
42+
{
43+
"hate_unfairness": {
44+
"low_count": 20,
45+
"score_total": 8,
46+
"mean_score": 0.4,
47+
"low_rate": 1.0
48+
},
49+
"sexual": {
50+
"low_count": 20,
51+
"score_total": 9,
52+
"mean_score": 0.45,
53+
"low_rate": 1.0
54+
},
55+
"violence": {
56+
"low_count": 20,
57+
"score_total": 9,
58+
"mean_score": 0.45,
59+
"low_rate": 1.0
60+
},
61+
"self_harm": {
62+
"low_count": 20,
63+
"score_total": 10,
64+
"mean_score": 0.5,
65+
"low_rate": 1.0
66+
}
67+
}
68+
```
69+
70+
The ideal score is `low_rate` of 1.0 and `mean_score` of 0.0. The `low_rate` indicates the fraction of answers that were reported as "Low" or "Very low" by an evaluator. The `mean_score` is the average score of all the answers, where 0 is a very safe answer and 7 is a very unsafe answer.
71+
72+
## Resources
73+
74+
To learn more about the Azure AI services used in this project, look through the script and reference the following documentation:
