AI Evals, Part 3: Golden Datasets That Don't Lie
This article discusses the importance of creating accurate "golden datasets" for evaluating AI models, particularly in production environments. The author emphasizes that these datasets, consisting of representative inputs paired with correct reference answers, are crucial for reliable performance measurement. Key aspects highlighted include ensuring the dataset mirrors real-world usage, maintaining high quality in reference answers, preventing data leakage by keeping a separate test set, and keeping the dataset updated with new failure modes found in production.
