langchain.evaluation.qa.eval_chain.ContextQAEvalChain¶
class langchain.evaluation.qa.eval_chain.ContextQAEvalChain[source]¶
Bases: LLMChain, StringEvaluator, LLMEvalChain
LLM Chain for evaluating QA w/o GT based on context
param callback_manager: Optional[BaseCallbackManager] = None¶
Deprecated, use callbacks instead.
param callbacks: Callbacks = None¶
Optional list of callback handlers (or callback manager). Defaults to None.
Callback handlers are called throughout the lifecycle of a call to a chain,
starting with on_chain_start, ending with on_chain_end or on_chain_error.
Each custom chain can optionally call additional callback methods, see Callback docs
for full details.
param llm: BaseLanguageModel [Required]¶
Language model to call.
param llm_kwargs: dict [Optional]¶
param memory: Optional[BaseMemory] = None¶
Optional memory object. Defaults to None.
Memory is a class that gets called at the start
and at the end of every chain. At the start, memory loads variables and passes
them along in the chain. At the end, it saves any returned variables.
There are many different types of memory - please see memory docs
for the full catalog.
param metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None¶
Optional metadata associated with the chain. Defaults to None.
This metadata will be associated with each call to this chain,
and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks.
You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a chain with its use case.
param output_key: str = 'text'¶
param output_parser: BaseLLMOutputParser [Optional]¶
Output parser to use.
Defaults to one that takes the most likely string but does not change it
otherwise.


Defaults to one that takes the most likely string but does not change it
otherwise.
param prompt: BasePromptTemplate [Required]¶
Prompt object to use.
param return_final_only: bool = True¶
Whether to return only the final parsed result. Defaults to True.
If false, will return a bunch of extra information about the generation.
param tags: Optional[List[str]] = None¶
Optional list of tags associated with the chain. Defaults to None.
These tags will be associated with each call to this chain,
and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks.
You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a chain with its use case.
param verbose: bool [Optional]¶
Whether or not run in verbose mode. In verbose mode, some intermediate logs
will be printed to the console. Defaults to langchain.verbose value.
__call__(inputs: Union[Dict[str, Any], Any], return_only_outputs: bool = False, callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None, *, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, include_run_info: bool = False) → Dict[str, Any]¶
Execute the chain.
Parameters
inputs – Dictionary of inputs, or single input if chain expects
only one param. Should contain all inputs specified in
Chain.input_keys except for inputs that will be set by the chain’s
memory.
return_only_outputs – Whether to return only outputs in the
response. If True, only new keys generated by this chain will be
returned. If False, both input keys and new keys generated by this
chain will be returned. Defaults to False.
callbacks – Callbacks to use for this chain run. These will be called in
addition to callbacks passed to the chain during construction, but only


addition to callbacks passed to the chain during construction, but only
these runtime callbacks will propagate to calls to other objects.
tags – List of string tags to pass to all callbacks. These will be passed in
addition to tags passed to the chain during construction, but only
these runtime tags will propagate to calls to other objects.
metadata – Optional metadata associated with the chain. Defaults to None
include_run_info – Whether to include run info in the response. Defaults
to False.
Returns
A dict of named outputs. Should contain all outputs specified inChain.output_keys.

response. If True, only new keys generated by this chain will be
returned. If False, both input keys and new keys generated by this
chain will be returned. Defaults to False.
