RAG and LLM Evaluation with RAGAS

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is driving the next generation of GenAI systems—but evaluating them remains a complex challenge. In this talk, Prabhat Singh and Alessandro De La Garza from Slalom Consulting will introduce RAGAS, an open-source evaluation framework that helps teams automate the assessment of RAG systems and LLM-generated content.

You’ll discover how RAGAS goes beyond traditional NLP metrics to measure accuracy, relevance, and completeness, offering a structured workflow to improve the quality and reliability of GenAI applications.

Whether you’re building RAG-based pipelines or testing LLM outputs, this session will equip you with tools and insights to make evaluation measurable—and meaningful.

Key Takeaways:
  • Understand what RAGAS is and how it works

  • Learn how to evaluate GenAI responses with actionable metrics

  • Discover techniques for automating LLM and RAG evaluations

  • Gain real-world insights into AI quality engineering workflows

This is an in-person meetup and completely free to attend including Snacks and Beverages for QA professionals.
