Introduction
The ai_feedback_collector.py module is designed to gather, process, and manage user feedback for AI systems within the
G.O.D Framework. Feedback is essential for improving AI models through the integration of insights from real-world usage.
By aggregating this feedback, the module empowers data engineers and AI developers to refine models, address biases, and adapt predictions to user expectations in dynamic environments.
Purpose
- Collect user feedback on AI predictions and outputs in real-time or batch processing modes.
- Streamline the integration of user ratings, comments, and corrections for refining AI systems.
- Enable active learning workflows by utilizing feedback to fine-tune existing models.
- Store and manage collected feedback for auditability and regulatory compliance.
Key Features
- Multi-Channel Feedback Collection: Supports input channels such as web dashboards, APIs, and chat interfaces.
- Real-Time Insights: Captures and processes feedback in real-time for immediate improvements.
- Feedback Categorization: Organizes feedback for review and incorporation using priority metrics.
- Integration with Training Pipelines: Links directly with AI data pipelines for active learning workflows.
- Storage Options: Enables the export and archival of feedback into SQL, NoSQL, or distributed storage systems.
Logic and Implementation
The ai_feedback_collector.py module leverages lightweight data ingestion techniques for collecting user-submitted data.
Feedback is scored, categorized, and either sent to a processing pipeline (for models in the active learning stage)
or stored for audit and debugging in subsequent iterations.
Below is an example implementation of feedback ingestion and storage using the module:
class FeedbackCollector:
"""
A module to collect and store user feedback for AI system outputs.
"""
def __init__(self, storage_handler):
"""
Initialize the Feedback Collector with the chosen storage interface.
:param storage_handler: Object handling feedback storage (e.g., Database, Filesystem).
"""
self.storage_handler = storage_handler
def collect_feedback(self, user_id, prediction_id, feedback_data):
"""
Collect feedback from a user about a specific AI prediction.
:param user_id: The ID of the user providing feedback.
:param prediction_id: The ID of the prediction being commented on.
:param feedback_data: User feedback as a dictionary (e.g., {"rating": 4, "comments": "Good!"}).
:return: Feedback storage status.
"""
feedback_entry = {
"user_id": user_id,
"prediction_id": prediction_id,
"feedback": feedback_data,
"timestamp": datetime.now().isoformat()
}
return self.storage_handler.save(feedback_entry)
def batch_upload_feedback(self, feedback_list):
"""
Upload multiple feedback entries in a batch.
:param feedback_list: A list of feedback dictionaries.
:return: Status of batch operations.
"""
results = []
for feedback in feedback_list:
result = self.storage_handler.save(feedback)
results.append(result)
return results
class StorageHandler:
"""
Simplified interface for managing the storage of feedback entries.
"""
def __init__(self, database_client):
"""
Initialize with a database client or similar storage interface.
:param database_client: A database/session handler (Mocked or actual).
"""
self.database_client = database_client
def save(self, feedback_entry):
"""
Save individual feedback to the database.
:param feedback_entry: Structured feedback dictionary to save.
:return: Save status.
"""
# Example implementation uses a mocked database client
self.database_client.insert(feedback_entry)
return "Saved!"
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Example setup
mock_database_client = MockDatabaseClient() # Replace with actual DB client
storage_handler = StorageHandler(mock_database_client)
feedback_collector = FeedbackCollector(storage_handler)
# Collect and store feedback
feedback = {
"user_id": "U123",
"prediction_id": "P456",
"rating": 4,
"comments": "The output was relevant, but lacked some details."
}
status = feedback_collector.collect_feedback(feedback["user_id"], feedback["prediction_id"], feedback)
print(status)
Dependencies
This module relies on the following dependencies:
SQLAlchemy: For structured database storage (used if relational databases are involved).NoSQL APIs(optional): E.g., MongoDB, DynamoDB for unstructured feedback.datetime: For timestamping feedback entries.
Usage
To incorporate user feedback collection into your system, use the FeedbackCollector class to handle individual
or batch feedback submissions. Below are two common use cases:
# Single Feedback Collection
feedback = {"user_id": "User789", "prediction_id": "Pred123", "rating": 5, "comments": "Excellent!"}
feedback_collector.collect_feedback(feedback["user_id"], feedback["prediction_id"], feedback)
# Batch Submission
batch_feedback = [
{"user_id": "User1", "prediction_id": "P_11", "rating": 3, "comments": "Unreliable."},
{"user_id": "User2", "prediction_id": "P_12", "rating": 4, "comments": "Good job."}
]
feedback_collector.batch_upload_feedback(batch_feedback)
System Integration
- Dashboards: Collect user interactions directly from visualization dashboards.
- Training Feedback Loops: Feed feedback data into active learning pipelines for faster model improvements.
- Compliance Oversight: Retain feedback logs as part of compliance and review audits.
Future Enhancements
- Sentiment Analysis: Integrate sentiment-analysis tools to analyze free-text comments automatically.
- Feedback Ranking: Develop importance-ranking for handling feedback in prioritized workflows.
- Real-Time Pipelines: Integrate real-time streaming pipelines to process feedback with tools like Kafka.
