Persona’s in Testset Generation#

You can add different persona’s to the testset generation process by defining the Persona class with the name and role description of the different persona’s that might be relevant to your use case, and you want to generate testset for.

For example, for the GitLab handbook we might want to generate testset for different persona’s like a new joinee, a manager, a senior manager, etc. And hence we will define them as follows:

New Joinee: Don’t know much about the company and is looking for information on how to get started.
Manager: Wants to know about the different teams and how they collaborate with each other.
Senior Manager: Wants to know about the company vision and how it is executed.

Which we can define as follows:

from ragas.testset.persona import Persona

persona_new_joinee = Persona(
    name="New Joinee",
    role_description="Don't know much about the company and is looking for information on how to get started.",
)
persona_manager = Persona(
    name="Manager",
    role_description="Wants to know about the different teams and how they collaborate with each other.",
)
persona_senior_manager = Persona(
    name="Senior Manager",
    role_description="Wants to know about the company vision and how it is executed.",
)

personas = [persona_new_joinee, persona_manager, persona_senior_manager]
personas

[Persona(name='New Joinee', role_description="Don't know much about the company and is looking for information on how to get started."),
 Persona(name='Manager', role_description='Wants to know about the different teams and how they collaborate with each other.'),
 Persona(name='Senior Manager', role_description='Wants to know about the company vision and how it is executed.')]

And then you can use these personas in the testset generation process by passing them to the TestsetGenerator class.

from openai import OpenAI
from ragas.testset import TestsetGenerator
from ragas.testset.graph import KnowledgeGraph
from ragas.llms import llm_factory

kg = KnowledgeGraph.load("../../../../experiments/gitlab_kg.json")
# Initialize the Generator LLM
openai_client = OpenAI()
llm = llm_factory("gpt-4o-mini", client=openai_client)

# Initialize the Testset Generator
testset_generator = TestsetGenerator(knowledge_graph=kg, persona_list=personas, llm=llm)
# Generate the Testset
testset = testset_generator.generate(testset_size=10)
testset

testset.to_pandas().head()

Automatic Persona Generation#

If you want to automatically generate persona’s from a knowledge graph, you can use the generate_personas_from_kg function.

from ragas.testset.persona import generate_personas_from_kg
from ragas.testset.graph import KnowledgeGraph
from ragas.llms import llm_factory

kg = KnowledgeGraph.load("../../../../experiments/gitlab_kg.json")
llm = llm_factory("gpt-4o-mini")

personas = generate_personas_from_kg(kg=kg, llm=llm, num_personas=5)

personas

[Persona(name='Organizational Development Manager', role_description='Responsible for implementing job frameworks and career development strategies to enhance employee growth and clarify roles within the company.'),
 Persona(name='DevSecOps Product Manager', role_description='Responsible for overseeing the development and strategy of DevSecOps solutions, ensuring alignment with company goals and user needs.'),
 Persona(name='Product Pricing Analyst', role_description='Responsible for developing and analyzing pricing strategies that align with customer needs and market demands.'),
 Persona(name='Site Reliability Engineer', role_description='Responsible for maintaining service reliability and performance, focusing on implementing rate limits to prevent outages and enhance system stability.'),
 Persona(name='Security Operations Engineer', role_description="Works on enhancing security logging processes and ensuring compliance within GitLab's infrastructure.")]
