Hello. I am doing the week3 lab and have a question about evaluate_toxicity function. This function is used to evaluate the toxicity of the response. However, we already have sentiment_pipe function to get the possibility of toxicity of the response. Can we just use that function to evaluate the response? what’s the advantage of introducing another evaluation function. Maybe I am confused by reward model (using sentiment_pipe) and evaluation… thanks in advance!
Hi there! I understand your confusion. The “sentiment_pipe” function is used to determine the sentiment of a response, which includes identifying the possibility of toxicity. On the other hand, the “evaluate_toxicity” function is specifically designed to evaluate the toxicity of a response. The advantage of introducing a separate evaluation function for toxicity is that it allows for a more targeted and specialized assessment of toxicity, which can be useful in certain contexts. While the sentiment_pipe can provide a general sentiment analysis, the evaluate_toxicity function can provide a more detailed evaluation of potentially toxic content. This distinction allows for more nuanced and specific handling of toxic content. I hope this helps clarify the difference between the two functions! Let me know if you have any other questions.
