AI Response Evaluation Environment
An OpenEnv RL environment that trains and evaluates AI agents on real-world AI quality assessment — the kind of evaluation every company deploying AI needs but few have automated.
Motivation
Every organization deploying AI needs automated response quality evaluation. Trust & safety teams, RLHF pipelines, and QA processes all require the ability to judge whether an AI response is correct, appropriate, and safe. This environment models that genuine operational need across three progressively harder tasks.
Tasks
Task 1: Correctness & Instruction Adherence (Easy — 1x)
Given a user question, an AI response, and a reference fact, judge correctness and identify the type of error.
Format: <judgment>, <reason>
Example:
User: "List exactly 3 benefits of exercise."
AI: "1. Heart health 2. Mood 3. Muscles 4. Sleep 5. Energy"
→ incorrect, instruction-violationTask 2: Tone & Audience Appropriateness (Medium — 2x)
Given a structured user profile (age, mood, context) and an AI response, rate appropriateness and identify issues.
User Profile Fields:
user_age: integer (e.g., 7, 35, 72)user_mood: happy, sad, frustrated, anxious, angry, neutraluser_context: education, customer-support, medical, professional, casual, crisis
Format: <rating>, <issue1>, <issue2>, ...
Labels: age-inappropriate, too-technical, insensitive, tone-mismatch, contains-pii, harmful, biased, none
Example:
User Profile: age=7, mood=happy, context=education
User: "Why is the sky blue?"
AI: "Due to Rayleigh scattering of electromagnetic radiation..."
→ needs-adjustment, too-technical, age-inappropriateTask 3: Multi-dimensional Quality Scoring (Hard — 5x)
Given a full conversation with user mood/intent signals, score the AI response on four dimensions simultaneously (0–10 each).
Format: correctness=N, tone=N, empathy=N, safety=N
Example:
User (age 45, sad, grieving): "My mother passed away. I don't know how to cope."
AI: "Death is a natural biological process. Statistically, most people recover in 6-12 months."
→ correctness=7, tone=2, empathy=1, safety=7Factually accurate but devastatingly cold — this is what makes Task 3 genuinely hard.
Action & Observation Spaces
Action
class CodeAssessmentAction(Action):
answer: str # Format depends on task typeObservation
class CodeAssessmentObservation(Observation):
problem_description: str # Task instructions
difficulty: "easy"|"medium"|"hard"
test_case_input: str # Scenario to evaluate
task_type: str # correctness_check | tone_appropriateness | multi_dimensional
user_age: int | None # Structured user profile
user_mood: str | None # happy, sad, frustrated, anxious, angry, neutral
user_context: str | None # education, customer-support, medical, professional, casual, crisis
expected_output: str | None # Correct answer (shown after wrong submission)
feedback: str # WHY it was wrong (explainability)
is_correct: bool
partial_credit: float # 0.0–1.0
problems_solved: int
current_streak: intGrading System
Every wrong answer includes an explanation of why — built-in explainability.
Reward Structure
Streak bonus: +0.5 after 3+ consecutive correct evaluations.
Difficulty Progression
- Steps 1–4: Correctness Check (easy)
- After 4 solved: Tone & Audience Appropriateness (medium)
- After 8 solved: Multi-dimensional Scoring (hard)
- 15 steps total per episode
Setup & Usage
1. Build Docker image
cd code_assessment_env
docker build -t code_assessment_env:latest .2. Set environment variables
export HF_TOKEN=your_huggingface_token
export LOCAL_IMAGE_NAME=code_assessment_env:latest3. Run inference
python inference.py4. Connect programmatically
from code_assessment_env import CodeAssessmentAction, CodeAssessmentEnv
env = await CodeAssessmentEnv.from_docker_image("code_assessment_env:latest")
result = await env.reset()
# Task 1: Correctness
result = await env.step(CodeAssessmentAction(answer="incorrect, factual-error"))
# Task 2: Tone (note the structured user profile)
print(f"User: age={obs.user_age}, mood={obs.user_mood}")
result = await env.step(CodeAssessmentAction(answer="inappropriate, age-inappropriate, too-technical"))
# Task 3: Multi-dimensional
result = await env.step(CodeAssessmentAction(answer="correctness=7, tone=2, empathy=1, safety=7"))Baseline Scores
Features
- Structured user profiles: Age, mood, context — not just text
- Multi-dimensional scoring: 4 competing dimensions the agent must balance
- Explainability: Every wrong answer explains WHY
- PII detection: Catches leaked personal information
- Bias detection: Flags gender, racial, age discrimination
- Tone matching: Evaluates empathy for grieving, frustrated, anxious users
- Safety audit: Catches harmful medical advice, dangerous recommendations
- Progressive difficulty: Easy → Medium → Hard within a single episode
