Training Readiness Checklist
Before launching a large-scale training or tuning run, verify the following gates are closed.
1. Evaluation Semantics Locked
- Primary Metric defined:
answer_correctness(Binary 0/1). - Evaluator implemented:
AnswerCorrectnessJudgeinservices/judges.py. - Versioning: Evaluator output includes
judge_version.
2. Dataset Canonicalization
- Golden Set:
golden-v1exists and is importable. - Validation: Dataset builder prevents empty datasets.
- Ground Truth:
golden-v1manifest includes verified ground truth answers.
3. Metric Persistence
- Runs: Metrics stored in
TunixRunEvaluation. - Registry: Metrics promoted to
ModelVersion. - UI: Metrics visible in Run History and Model Registry.
4. Guardrails
- Tuning: Block tuning if metric is undefined or judge is missing.
- Registry: Prevent promoting failed runs.
5. CI/CD
- Tests: Backend coverage restored.
- Frontend: "Promote Best" workflow tested.
Usage
To start a training run:
- Ensure
golden-v1(or your target dataset) is seeded:python -m backend.tools.seed_golden_dataset - Select
answer_correctnessas the metric. - Verify results in Leaderboard.
What's inside
5 sections with 12 checklist items, plus a usage section with 3 steps.
Change this for your project
- Replace
golden-v1with your dataset name - Replace
AnswerCorrectnessJudgewith your judge class - Replace
TunixRunEvaluationwith your metric storage model - Replace
m-cahill/tunix-rtwith your repository
Where it goes
Keep alongside your test suite. Used to define and score model evaluations.
