Grounding Data: Align outputs with factual, contextual, and reliable data sources.
Methods include linking to databases, using search engines for real-time info, or incorporating domain-specific knowledge bases to enhance trustworthiness and relevance.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG):
Connects the model to an organization's proprietary database.
Retrieves relevant information from curated datasets to generate contextually accurate and up-to-date responses.
Useful for real-time applications like customer support or knowledge management.
Fine-tuning:
Further trains a pre-trained model on a task-specific dataset.
Helps the model specialize in a domain, improve accuracy, and reduce irrelevant or inaccurate outputs.
Security and Governance Controls:
Manage access, authentication, and data usage.
Helps prevent publication of incorrect or unauthorized information.
Performance and quality evaluators:
Measure accuracy, groundedness, and relevance of generated content.
Risk and safety evaluators:
Assess risks associated with content generation, ensuring the AI avoids harmful or inappropriate outputs.
Custom evaluators:
Industry-specific metrics tailored to meet specialized needs and goals.
Modern services like Azure AI Foundry support these evaluation workflows and responsible AI practices.
