Evaluate Language Models: Metrics for Success

About this course

Did you know that even top-performing language models can fail in real-world use cases without proper evaluation across both automated metrics and human judgment? Rigorous evaluation is the backbone of trustworthy AI deployment. This Short Course was created to help professionals in this field implement robust evaluation frameworks that combine automated benchmarks with human judgment for comprehensive language model assessment. By completing this course, you will be able to measure language model quality using statistical metrics, integrate human-in-the-loop evaluation, and interpret results to guide model selection and improvement—skills essential for building reliable, responsible, and high-performing AI systems. By the end of this 3-hour long course, you will be able to: Evaluate language models using automatic and human-in-the-loop metrics. This course is unique because it merges quantitative scoring with qualitative human evaluation, giving you a complete toolkit to assess accuracy, safety, usefulness, and alignment in modern language models. To be successful in this project, you should have: ML fundamentals Language model basics Statistical evaluation knowledge Experience with Python and evaluation libraries
