[DRAFT] FEAT: Scorer Identifiers for Evaluation #1220

jsong468 · 2025-12-04T20:55:03Z

Description

This PR provides a framework for differentiating scoring configurations (not just scorer type but rather including granular parameters like scoring model temperature, system prompt, etc.) and saving evaluation metrics specific to configurations in a MetricsRegistry for easy add/query access. The primary focus for this PR is on objective True/False scoring but the framework accounts for expansion into harm and Likert scoring. The main changes made include:

Identifiers for scorers now include version, target information (temperature, top_p, custom_metadata which can include things like safety filters), system prompt, and scorer specific parameters
Expanded target identifiers to include model information
ScorerEvalIdentifier class to encapsulate identifying attributes and handle hashing and MetricsRegistry to handle adding and fetching metrics entries with safeguards against race conditions.
Metrics entries are stored in a JSONL file, one for objective and one for harm.
ScenarioResult can retrieve metrics from the registry using the scorer identifier
Consolidated dataset of all objective scoring entries created, which will be used for metrics added to the registry
add_to_registry flag for methods that run scoring evaluation
custom_metadata added to scenario defaults and airt initializer for granular identification

Others:

SelfAskTrueFalseScorer now takes into account objective explicitly in scoring
task_achieved.yaml True False descriptions are more detailed

TODO:

tests
current methods of retrieving metrics may need to be renamed/refactored to avoid confusion

pyrit/score/scorer.py

        from pyrit.score import ScorerEvaluator

        scorer_evaluator = ScorerEvaluator.from_scorer(self, metrics_type=metrics_type)
        return scorer_evaluator.get_scorer_metrics(dataset_name=dataset_name)


this might need to be renamed or changed. naming might be confusing?

we would we delete these ? is there conflicting data ?

couldn't all this be added the get_identifier in the base class (prompt target or openai target)?

could be nice to have an example of what custom_metadata could be

why did this get removed ?

Do you think we could simplify a lot of the _get_scorer_specific_params?

To me it seems like we can just do this:

return { "num_sampled_frames": self.num_sampled_frames, }

I am a little confused at the structure of scorer_evals. Can we reorder it so it's a bit easier to parse without knowing the code?

In my head, we have something like

scorer_eval_datasets - human_labeled --- harms ----- hate.csv ----- violence.csv ----- etc. --- objective ------ refusal.csv # datasets involving refusal objectives ------ cyber.csv - registry --- objective.jsonl # all objective scorer evals --- harm.jsonl # all harm scorer evals?
