"Rubrics in Daily Life: How to Remember the 8 Dimensions of AI Evaluation"

 In the last blog, we saw that Rubrics are like a scorecard for judging AI answers.  

But terms like *“factual accuracy”* and *“context awareness”* can feel abstract.  

So here’s the trick: let’s connect each rubric dimension to something you already experience in daily life. That way, it sticks in your memory.  

## 1. Instruction Following  

Ordering food at a restaurant.  

You say: *“One dosa, no butter.”*  

Waiter brings dosa with butter ❌ → poor instruction following.  

AI is judged the same way: Did it follow what you asked?  

## 2. Factual Accuracy  

You ask: *“Capital of Australia?”*  

Answer: *“Sydney”* ❌ Wrong.  

Correct: *“Canberra”* ✅  

AI must give facts, not guesses.  

## 3. Content Relevance  

Parent: *“Did you finish homework?”*  

Child: *“I played cricket today!”* 🏏  

That’s off-topic.  

AI answers should stick to the question.  

## 4. Completeness  

You ask shopkeeper: *“Price of 1 kg rice + 1 litre oil?”*  

He tells you only rice price. ❌  

AI must answer fully, without gaps.  

## 5. Writing Style & Tone  

Message 1: *“K”* 😐  

Message 2: *“Sure, happy to help 😊”*  

Same meaning, different tone.  

AI should be polite, clear, human-like.  

## 6. Collaborativity  

Group project: one student listens, shares notes, builds ideas.  

That’s collaboration.  

AI too should act like a teammate, not a dictator.  

## 7. Context Awareness  

Yesterday: *“Let’s shop tomorrow.”*  

Today: Spouse forgets ❌ frustrating.  

AI must remember past conversation, not start fresh every time.  

## 8. Safety  

Child + scissors ✂️  

Rounded tip ✅ Safe.  

Sharp tip ❌ Risky.  

AI must be safe, avoiding harmful or offensive replies.  

## 🌟 The Big Picture  

Rubrics aren’t just “AI rules” — they’re life rules applied to machines.  

👉 Did it follow instructions?  

👉 Was it accurate and complete?  

👉 Was it polite, relevant, and safe?  

If you can judge a waiter, a child, or a WhatsApp reply — you already understand AI rubrics.

How We Judge AI: A Simple Guide to Rubrics

Image
When humans compare two or more answers from an AI system, how do they decide which one is better? That’s where a rubric comes in. A rubric is like a scorecard. It tells you: What to look for in an answer (e.g., is it correct, clear, safe?). How to judge it (no issues, minor issues, major issues). Why it matters (does it improve the user’s experience?). Rubrics make sure evaluations are consistent, fair, and useful for teaching AI what people truly prefer. Why Do Rubrics Matter? Without rubrics, human feedback would be random. One person might prefer shorter answers, while another prefers longer ones, and the AI would receive mixed signals. A rubric provides shared rules so everyone is judging on the same scale. Think of it like judging a singing competition. The rubric (pitch, clarity, stage presence) makes sure judges don’t just pick favourites — they score against clear criteria. The 8 Key Dimensions of an AI Rubric Instruction Foll...

Gold at the Crossroads: XAUUSD Scenarios Ahead of the FOMC

Image
  Introduction The global trading community is bracing for one of the most pivotal events of the month: the Federal Reserve’s policy decision. Gold (XAUUSD) is sitting at the edge of history, hovering near record highs and testing the psychological barrier of $3,700 . With speculation of a rate cut dominating headlines, volatility is all but guaranteed. Will gold break through resistance and chart new highs, or will the market punish late buyers with a sharp retracement? In this analysis, we map out the most probable scenarios for XAUUSD around the FOMC — and the price levels that matter most. Why Gold Is Center Stage Several powerful forces have converged to put gold at the heart of market attention: Federal Reserve policy: Lower interest rates reduce real yields, strengthening the appeal of non-yielding assets like gold. Traders expect easing in the months ahead, and gold has already surged in anticipation. Institutional demand: Central banks a...

How AI Learns from People: The Magic of RLHF Explained Simply

  How AI Learns from People: The Magic of RLHF Explained Simply Imagine you’re teaching a child to answer questions. You ask, “What’s the capital of France?” The child might say: Answer A: “Paris.” Answer B: “France is a country in Europe. The capital is Paris.” Both are correct, but one feels clearer and more helpful. Which would you prefer? That choice you just made is the heart of something called Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF). What is RLHF in Plain Words? RLHF is a way of teaching AI systems not just to be right, but to be helpful in the way people like. Think of it like this: The AI writes a few different answers to the same question. A human (like you) reads those answers and decides which feels better. The AI takes that feedback and adjusts itself, so next time it’s more likely to give the kind of answer people actually prefer. Over time, with lots of these “this one’s better” choices, the AI lear...
