Semantic Evaluation Layer for LLMs — classify and evaluate sentence-level understanding.

Semantic Evaluation Layer for LLMs

skeval is a lightweight library designed to evaluate how well Large Language Models (LLMs) understand and generate different types of sentences—such as facts, emotions, opinions, and instructions.

---

🚀 Motivation

Most LLM evaluation focuses on:

• Accuracy
• BLEU / ROUGE scores
• Reasoning benchmarks

But real-world language understanding also requires:

• Distinguishing facts from opinions
• Detecting emotions
• Identifying intent and instruction

skeval fills this gap by providing a semantic classification and evaluation layer.

---

🧠 What It Does

• Classifies sentences into categories:

  • Fact
  • Emotion
  • Opinion
  • Instruction
  • (extendable)

• Evaluates LLM outputs based on:

  • Classification accuracy
  • Confusion between categories
  • Per-class metrics

• Works with:

  • LLM outputs
  • Custom datasets
  • Benchmark pipelines

---

📦 Features

• Modular architecture (classifier, evaluator, metrics)
• Custom evaluation metrics for semantic types
• Compatible with LLM pipelines
• Extensible label taxonomy
• Clean CLI support (planned)

🧪 Example Usage

from skeval.classifier import SentenceClassifier
from skeval.evaluator import Evaluator

sentences = [
    "Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius",
    "I feel sad today",
    "I think this movie is amazing",
    "Please close the door",
]
labels = ["fact", "emotion", "opinion", "instruction"]

classifier = SentenceClassifier(embed_dim=64)
classifier.train(sentences, labels, epochs=20)

predictions = classifier.predict([
    "The sky is blue",
    "I am so happy",
    "I believe dogs are better than cats",
    "Turn off the lights",
])

evaluator = Evaluator()
results = evaluator.evaluate(predictions, ["fact", "emotion", "opinion", "instruction"])
print(results)
