## Examples
### Research Task with Evaluation
```python
from swarms.structs.auto_swarm_builder import AutoSwarmBuilder, IterativeImprovementConfig
# Configure for research tasks
config = IterativeImprovementConfig(
max_iterations=4,
improvement_threshold=0.15,
evaluation_dimensions=["accuracy", "helpfulness", "coherence"],
)
swarm = AutoSwarmBuilder(
name="ResearchSwarm",
description="Advanced research analysis swarm",
enable_evaluation=True,
evaluation_config=config,
)
task = """
Analyze the current state of renewable energy technology,
including market trends, technological breakthroughs,
and policy implications for the next decade.
"""
result = swarm.run(task)
# Print evaluation summary
for i, eval_result in enumerate(swarm.get_evaluation_results()):
score = sum(eval_result.evaluation_scores.values()) / len(eval_result.evaluation_scores)
print(f"Iteration {i+1}: Overall Score = {score:.3f}")
```
### Content Creation with Evaluation
```python
config = IterativeImprovementConfig(
max_iterations=3,
evaluation_dimensions=["helpfulness", "coherence", "instruction_adherence"],
)
swarm = AutoSwarmBuilder(
name="ContentCreationSwarm",
enable_evaluation=True,
evaluation_config=config,
)
task = """
Create a comprehensive marketing plan for a new SaaS product
targeting small businesses, including market analysis,
positioning strategy, and go-to-market tactics.
"""
result = swarm.run(task)
```
## Evaluation Results
### EvaluationResult Model
```python
class EvaluationResult(BaseModel):
iteration: int # Iteration number
task: str # Original task
output: str # Swarm output
evaluation_scores: Dict[str, float] # Dimension scores (0.0-1.0)
feedback: str # Detailed feedback
strengths: List[str] # Identified strengths
weaknesses: List[str] # Identified weaknesses
suggestions: List[str] # Improvement suggestions
```
### Accessing Results
```python
# Get all evaluation results
evaluations = swarm.get_evaluation_results()
# Get best performing iteration
best = swarm.get_best_iteration()
# Print detailed results
for eval_result in evaluations:
print(f"Iteration {eval_result.iteration}:")
print(f" Overall Score: {sum(eval_result.evaluation_scores.values()):.3f}")
for dimension, score in eval_result.evaluation_scores.items():
print(f" {dimension}: {score:.3f}")
print(f" Strengths: {len(eval_result.strengths)}")
print(f" Weaknesses: {len(eval_result.weaknesses)}")
print(f" Suggestions: {len(eval_result.suggestions)}")
```
## Best Practices
### 1. Task Complexity Matching
- Simple tasks: 1-2 iterations
- Medium tasks: 2-3 iterations
- Complex tasks: 3-5 iterations
### 2. Evaluation Dimension Selection
- **Research tasks**: accuracy, helpfulness, coherence
- **Creative tasks**: helpfulness, coherence, instruction_adherence
- **Analysis tasks**: accuracy, coherence, instruction_adherence
- **All-purpose**: All four dimensions
### 3. Threshold Configuration
- **Conservative**: 0.05-0.10 (more iterations)
- **Balanced**: 0.10-0.15 (moderate iterations)
- **Aggressive**: 0.15-0.25 (fewer iterations)
### 4. Performance Monitoring
```python
# Track improvement across iterations
scores = []
for eval_result in swarm.get_evaluation_results():
overall_score = sum(eval_result.evaluation_scores.values()) / len(eval_result.evaluation_scores)
scores.append(overall_score)
# Calculate improvement
if len(scores) > 1:
improvement = scores[-1] - scores[0]
print(f"Total improvement: {improvement:.3f}")
```
## Advanced Configuration
### Custom Evaluation Dimensions
```python
custom_config = IterativeImprovementConfig(
max_iterations=3,
evaluation_dimensions=["accuracy", "creativity", "practicality"],
improvement_threshold=0.12,
)
# Note: Custom dimensions require corresponding keywords
# in the evaluation system
```
### Disabling Judge Agent (Performance Mode)
```python
performance_config = IterativeImprovementConfig(
max_iterations=2,
use_judge_agent=False, # Faster but less detailed evaluation
evaluation_dimensions=["helpfulness", "coherence"],
)
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **High iteration count without improvement**
- Lower the improvement threshold
- Reduce max_iterations
- Check evaluation dimension relevance
2. **Evaluation system errors**
- Verify OpenAI API key configuration
- Check network connectivity
- Ensure proper model access
3. **Inconsistent scoring**
- Use more evaluation dimensions
- Increase iteration count
- Review task complexity
### Performance Optimization
1. **Reduce evaluation overhead**
- Set `use_judge_agent=False` for faster evaluation
- Limit evaluation dimensions
- Reduce max_iterations
2. **Improve convergence**
- Adjust improvement threshold
- Add more specific evaluation dimensions
- Enhance task clarity
## Integration Examples
### With Existing Workflows
```python
def research_pipeline(topic: str):
"""Research pipeline with autonomous evaluation"""
config = IterativeImprovementConfig(
max_iterations=3,
evaluation_dimensions=["accuracy", "helpfulness"],
)
swarm = AutoSwarmBuilder(
name=f"Research-{topic}",
enable_evaluation=True,
evaluation_config=config,
)
result = swarm.run(f"Research {topic}")
# Return both result and evaluation metrics
best_iteration = swarm.get_best_iteration()
return {
"result": result,
"quality_score": sum(best_iteration.evaluation_scores.values()),
"iterations": len(swarm.get_evaluation_results()),
}
```
### Batch Processing with Evaluation
```python
def batch_process_with_evaluation(tasks: List[str]):
"""Process multiple tasks with evaluation tracking"""
results = []
for task in tasks:
swarm = AutoSwarmBuilder(
enable_evaluation=True,
evaluation_config=IterativeImprovementConfig(max_iterations=2)
)
result = swarm.run(task)
best = swarm.get_best_iteration()
results.append({
"task": task,
"result": result,
"quality": sum(best.evaluation_scores.values()) if best else 0,
})
return results
```
## Future Enhancements
- **Custom evaluation metrics**: User-defined evaluation criteria
- **Evaluation dataset integration**: Benchmark-based evaluation
- **Real-time feedback**: Live evaluation during execution
- **Ensemble evaluation**: Multiple evaluation models
- **Performance prediction**: ML-based iteration outcome prediction
## Conclusion
