Wolfe (cwolferesearch) released a roadmap for evaluating subjective tasks, proposing a three-step process: human evaluation, offline automated evaluation, and online monitoring. The roadmap provides statistical tools such as power analysis, confidence intervals, and repeated sampling, and proposes that evaluation sets must meet five criteria: diverse, realistic, sufficiently difficult, discriminative, and accurate. According to the description in the article, the overall process is: first screen ideas through offline evaluation, hand promising versions to human evaluation, then after A/B testing fully launch, and continuously monitor and feed back into the evaluation set.

Netflix Research Scientist Shares a Roadmap for Evaluating Agents on Subjective Tasks
Cameron R. Wolfe, a senior research scientist at Netflix, has published a roadmap for evaluating subjective tasks, proposing a three-step process: human evaluation, offline automated evaluation, and online monitoring. The article presents statistical tools such as power analysis, confidence intervals, and repeated sampling, along with five criteria that evaluation sets must meet: diversity, realism, sufficient difficulty, discriminative power, and accuracy. The overall process is: offline evaluation screens ideas; promising versions are handed to human evaluation; after A/B testing, they are fully launched and continuously monitored, with the results feeding back into the evaluation set.
