Semantic Entropy Calculator

This gist implements a semantic entropy calculator that measures the uncertainty and potential confabulation in language model responses. It uses OpenAI's GPT models to generate multiple responses to a question and calculates both naive and semantic entropy to quantify response diversity and consistency.

Overview

The semantic entropy calculator helps evaluate:

  • How diverse or consistent the model's responses are to a given question
  • Whether the model might be confabulating (making up information)
  • The semantic relationships between different responses

It implements two types of entropy calculations:

  1. Naive Entropy: Measures raw response diversity based on frequency
  2. Semantic Entropy: Groups semantically equivalent responses to measure meaningful diversity

Installation

  1. Create a directory and copy the content of this gist to different files as present in the gist.

  2. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Basic Usage

from entropy_calculator_openai import OpenAIEntropyCalculator

# Initialize calculator
calculator = OpenAIEntropyCalculator(
    api_key="your-openai-api-key",
    model="gpt-4"  # or any other OpenAI model
)

# Process a list of questions
questions = ["What is the capital of France?", "How does photosynthesis work?"]
process_questions(calculator, questions)

Command Line Usage

# Using command line arguments
python entropy_calculator_openai.py questions.txt --api-key YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY --model gpt-4o

# Or using environment variables
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key
export OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4o
python entropy_calculator_openai.py questions.txt

Input Format

The calculator accepts questions in either:

  • Text files (.txt) with one question per line
  • CSV files with questions in the first column (optional 'question' header)

Output

Results are saved to entropy_results.json with the following information for each question:

  • Best (most confident) answer
  • Multiple sampled answers with probabilities
  • Naive entropy score
  • Semantic entropy score
  • Confabulation warning (if semantic entropy > 0.7)
  • Detailed explanation of entropy calculations

How It Works

  1. Multiple Responses: For each question, the calculator:

    • Gets multiple responses using temperature=1.0 and nucleus sampling
    • Gets a "best" answer using temperature=0.1

  2. Naive Entropy Calculation:

    • Counts frequency of each unique response
    • Converts frequencies to probabilities
    • Calculates entropy using the standard entropy formula

  3. Semantic Entropy Calculation:

    • Clusters semantically equivalent responses using bidirectional entailment
    • Combines probabilities within clusters
    • Calculates entropy using cluster probabilities

  4. Confabulation Detection:

    • High semantic entropy (>0.7) suggests possible confabulation
    • Indicates the model is generating diverse, semantically distinct answers

Parameters

  • api_key: Your OpenAI API key
  • model: OpenAI model to use (default: "gpt-4o")
  • n_samples: Number of responses to generate (default: 10)
  • debug: Whether to print detailed calculation steps (default: False)

Example Output

{
  "questions": [
    {
      "question": "What is the capital of France?",
      "best_answer": "Paris",
      "answers": [
        {"text": "Paris", "probability": 0.9},
        {"text": "The capital of France is Paris", "probability": 0.1}
      ],

      "semantic_entropy": 0.0,
      "confabulation_warning": false,
      "explanation": "..."
    }
  ]
}

Use Cases

  1. Research: Study language model behavior and reliability
  2. Quality Assurance: Detect potential confabulation or inconsistency
  3. Model Evaluation: Compare different models or prompting strategies
  4. Content Generation: Assess response diversity and consistency

Limitations

  • Semantic equivalence checking is based on the model's judgment
  • Processing time increases with the number of unique responses
  • API costs scale with the number of questions and samples

Additional information

  • Human decided threshold of 0.7 is used to decide if there is a chance of confabulation, this has to decided based on the dataset
