About this episode
"Think step by step."
Although a simple technique in itself, the problems that chain-of-thought reasoning (CoT) addresses are complex, ranging from the specific issue of hallucinations to the general lack of explainability of AI (both in terms of understanding how it works as well as fixing things that go wrong).
We'll hear from data scientist Afia Ibnath on the basics of CoT, how it can be used to evaluate the faithfulness of LLM responses, and her experiences of using it in a business context.
For a concise definition of how faithfulness is calculated, see this article from IBM: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/watsonx/saas?topic=metrics-faithfulness
