RAG Faithfulness Evaluation for a Medical-Education Assistant
Overview
What this challenge is about.
RAG Faithfulness Evaluation for a Medical-Education Assistant. Advanced challenge in code. Writing production code that solves real engineering problems, ear...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Build a multi-method faithfulness eval that lets a medical advisory board sign off on a RAG study assistant.
This is not a coding exercise. It is the work a software engineer does between a Jira ticket and a merged PR. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates solve LeetCode problems and none who have shipped production code under real constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design a multi-method faithfulness evaluation for RAG outputs
- Implement claim decomposition for fine-grained scoring
- Reason about LLM-judge bias and triangulate with non-LLM methods
- Translate evaluation results into a non-ML advisory board memo
