Input question

This lesson is part of the learning plan: 'AI Evaluation Pipeline Deep Dive'. Lesson topic: Filter Ensembles and Self-Consistency Overview: Raw model outputs often require complex extraction and voting to be useful. Learn to build multi-step filter pipelines for more accurate evaluations. Key insights to cover in order: 1. Filter ensembles allow for sequential post-processing steps like regex extraction followed by majority voting. 2. Multiple filter pipelines can be run on the same model output to compare different extraction strategies. 3. Self-consistency evaluations use filters to aggregate multiple model generations into a single consensus answer. Listener profile: - Learning goal: Build evaluation pipeline - Background knowledge: I have worked with performance metrics collection in AI harness. - Guidance: Focus on pipeline architecture and metrics integration. Cover evaluation frameworks and performance measurement systems. Tailor examples, pacing, and depth to this listener. Avoid analogies or references that assume knowledge outside this listener's profile.
