ML student seeks guidance on human evaluation methods for AI feedback comparison

A master's student is seeking advice on conducting human evaluations for their machine learning project, which involves comparing feedback from a fine-tuned AI model against outputs from Qwen and OpenAI APIs. They are inquiring about the commonality of using surveys for human evaluation in ML research, the adequacy of a 60-participant sample size, strategies for handling inattentive survey respondents, and the practice of conducting follow-up surveys. The student aims to gather feedback to statistically determine which model provides more accurate or useful output. AI

IMPACT This discussion highlights common practices and challenges in evaluating AI model performance through human feedback, relevant for researchers designing experiments.
