input_data = {
    "input_path": "tatsu-lab/alpaca",  # Dataset from Hugging Face
    "dataset": {
        "source": "hugging_face",
        "format": "plaintext"  # Format: plaintext
    },
    "executor": {
        "result_save": {
            "bad": True  # Save evaluation results
        }
    },
    "evaluator": [
        {
            "evals": [
                {"name": "RuleColonEnd"},
                {"name": "RuleSpecialCharacter"}
            ]
        }
    ]
}

input_args = InputArgs(**input_data)

Video Demonstration

To help you get started quickly with Dingo MCP, we've created a video walkthrough:

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/aca26f4c-3f2e-445e-9ef9-9331c4d7a37b

This video demonstrates step-by-step how to use Dingo MCP server with Cursor.

🎓 Key Concepts for Practitioners

What Makes Dingo Production-Ready?

1. Multi-Field Evaluation Pipeline

Apply different quality checks to different fields in a single pass:

"evaluator": [
    {"fields": {"content": "isbn"}, "evals": [{"name": "RuleIsbn"}]},
    {"fields": {"content": "title"}, "evals": [{"name": "RuleAbnormalChar"}]},
    {"fields": {"content": "description"}, "evals": [{"name": "LLMTextQualityV5"}]}
]

Why It Matters: Evaluate structured data (like database tables) without writing separate scripts for each field.

2. Stream Processing for Large Datasets

SQL datasources use SQLAlchemy's server-side cursors:

# Handles billions of rows without OOM
for data in dataset.get_data():  # Yields one row at a time
    result = evaluator.eval(data)

Why It Matters: Process production databases without exporting to intermediate files.

3. Field Isolation in Memory

RAG evaluations prevent context bleeding across different field combinations:

outputs/
├── user_input,response,retrieved_contexts/  # Faithfulness group
└── user_input,response/                     # Answer Relevancy group

Why It Matters: Accurate metric calculations when evaluating multiple field combinations.

4. Hybrid Rule-LLM Strategy

Combine fast rules (100% coverage) with sampled LLM checks (10% coverage):

"evals": [
    {"name": "RuleAbnormalChar"},        # Fast, runs on all data
    {"name": "LLMTextQualityV5"}         # Expensive, sample if needed
]

Why It Matters: Balance cost and coverage for production-scale evaluation.

5. Extensibility Through Registration

Clean plugin architecture for custom rules, prompts, and models:

@Model.rule_register('QUALITY_BAD_CUSTOM', ['default'])
class MyCustomRule(BaseRule):
    @classmethod
    def eval(cls, input_data: Data) -> EvalDetail:
        # Example: check if content is empty
        if not input_data.content:
            return EvalDetail(
                metric=cls.__name__,
                status=True,  # Found an issue
                label=[f'{cls.metric_type}.{cls.__name__}'],
                reason=["Content is empty"]
            )
        return EvalDetail(
            metric=cls.__name__,
            status=False,  # No issue found
            label=['QUALITY_GOOD']
        )

Why It Matters: Adapt to domain-specific requirements without forking the codebase.

🔧 Extensibility

Dingo uses a clean plugin architecture for domain-specific customization:

Custom Rule Registration

from dingo.model import Model
from dingo.model.rule.base import BaseRule
from dingo.io import Data
from dingo.io.output.eval_detail import EvalDetail

@Model.rule_register('QUALITY_BAD_CUSTOM', ['default'])
class DomainSpecificRule(BaseRule):
    """Check domain-specific patterns"""

    @classmethod
    def eval(cls, input_data: Data) -> EvalDetail:
        text = input_data.content

        # Your custom logic
        is_valid = your_validation_logic(text)

        return EvalDetail(
            metric=cls.__name__,
            status=not is_valid,  # False = good, True = bad
            label=['QUALITY_GOOD' if is_valid else 'QUALITY_BAD_CUSTOM'],
            reason=["Validation details..."]
        )

Custom LLM/Prompt Registration

from dingo.model import Model
from dingo.model.llm.base_openai import BaseOpenAI

@Model.llm_register('custom_evaluator')
class CustomEvaluator(BaseOpenAI):
    """Custom LLM evaluator with specialized prompts"""

    _metric_info = {
        "metric_name": "CustomEvaluator",
        "metric_type": "LLM-Based Quality",
        "category": "Custom Category"
    }

    prompt = """Your custom prompt here..."""

Examples:

Agent-Based Evaluation with Tools

Dingo supports agent-based evaluators that can use external tools for multi-step reasoning and adaptive context gathering:

from dingo.io import Data
from dingo.io.output.eval_detail import EvalDetail
from dingo.model import Model
from dingo.model.llm.agent.base_agent import BaseAgent

@Model.llm_register('MyAgent')
class MyAgent(BaseAgent):
    """Custom agent with tool support"""

    available_tools = ["tavily_search", "my_custom_tool"]
    max_iterations = 5

    @classmethod
    def eval(cls, input_data: Data) -> EvalDetail:
        # Use tools for fact-checking
        search_result = cls.execute_tool('tavily_search', query=input_data.content)

        # Multi-step reasoning with LLM
        result = cls.send_messages([...])

        return EvalDetail(...)

Built-in Agent:

📖 User Guide

🔧 Extensibility

Dingo uses a clean plugin architecture for domain-specific customization:

Custom Rule Registration

from dingo.model import Model
from dingo.model.rule.base import BaseRule
from dingo.io import Data
from dingo.io.output.eval_detail import EvalDetail

@Model.rule_register('QUALITY_BAD_CUSTOM', ['default'])
class DomainSpecificRule(BaseRule):
    """Check domain-specific patterns"""

    @classmethod
    def eval(cls, input_data: Data) -> EvalDetail:
        text = input_data.content

        # Your custom logic
        is_valid = your_validation_logic(text)

        return EvalDetail(
            metric=cls.__name__,
            status=not is_valid,  # False = good, True = bad
            label=['QUALITY_GOOD' if is_valid else 'QUALITY_BAD_CUSTOM'],
            reason=["Validation details..."]
        )

Custom LLM/Prompt Registration

from dingo.model import Model
from dingo.model.llm.base_openai import BaseOpenAI

@Model.llm_register('custom_evaluator')
class CustomEvaluator(BaseOpenAI):
    """Custom LLM evaluator with specialized prompts"""

    _metric_info = {
        "metric_name": "CustomEvaluator",
        "metric_type": "LLM-Based Quality",
        "category": "Custom Category"
    }

    prompt = """Your custom prompt here..."""

Examples:

Agent-Based Evaluation with Tools

Dingo supports agent-based evaluators that can use external tools for multi-step reasoning and adaptive context gathering:

from dingo.io import Data
from dingo.io.output.eval_detail import EvalDetail
from dingo.model import Model
from dingo.model.llm.agent.base_agent import BaseAgent

@Model.llm_register('MyAgent')
class MyAgent(BaseAgent):
    """Custom agent with tool support"""

    available_tools = ["tavily_search", "my_custom_tool"]
    max_iterations = 5

    @classmethod
    def eval(cls, input_data: Data) -> EvalDetail:
        # Use tools for fact-checking
        search_result = cls.execute_tool('tavily_search', query=input_data.content)

        # Multi-step reasoning with LLM
        result = cls.send_messages([...])

        return EvalDetail(...)

Built-in Agent:

AgentHallucination: Enhanced hallucination detection with web search fallback

Configuration Example:

{
  "evaluator": [{
    "evals": [{
      "name": "AgentHallucination",
      "config": {
        "key": "openai-api-key",
        "model": "gpt-4",
        "parameters": {
          "agent_config": {
            "max_iterations": 5,
            "tools": {
              "tavily_search": {"api_key": "tavily-key"}
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }]
  }]
}

⚙️ Execution Modes

Local Executor (Development & Small-Scale)

from dingo.config import InputArgs
from dingo.exec import Executor

input_args = InputArgs(**input_data)
executor = Executor.exec_map["local"](https://github.com/MigoXLab/dingo/blob/main/input_args)
result = executor.execute()

# Access results
summary = executor.get_summary()           # Overall metrics
bad_data = executor.get_bad_info_list()    # Quality issues
good_data = executor.get_good_info_list()  # High-quality data

Best For: Rapid iteration, debugging, datasets < 100K rows

Spark Executor (Production & Large-Scale)

from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from dingo.exec import Executor

spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("Dingo").getOrCreate()
spark_rdd = spark.sparkContext.parallelize(your_data)

executor = Executor.exec_map["spark"](
    input_args,
    spark_session=spark,
    spark_rdd=spark_rdd
)
result = executor.execute()

Best For: Production pipelines, distributed processing, datasets > 1M rows

Evaluation Reports

After evaluation, Dingo generates:

Summary Report (summary.json): Overall metrics and scores
Detailed Reports: Specific issues for each rule violation

Report Description:

score: num_good / total
type_ratio: The count of type / total, such as: QUALITY_BAD_COMPLETENESS / total

Example summary:

{
    "task_id": "d6c922ec-981c-11ef-b723-7c10c9512fac",
    "task_name": "dingo",
    "eval_group": "default",

    "create_time": "20241101_144510",
    "score": 50.0,
    "num_good": 1,
    "num_bad": 1,
    "total": 2,
    "type_ratio": {
        "content": {
            "QUALITY_BAD_COMPLETENESS.RuleColonEnd": 0.5,
            "QUALITY_BAD_RELEVANCE.RuleSpecialCharacter": 0.5
        }
    }
}

🚀 Roadmap & Contributions

Future Plans

Agent-as-a-Judge - Multi-agent debate patterns for bias reduction and complex reasoning
SaaS Platform - Hosted evaluation service with API access and dashboard
Audio & Video Modalities - Extend beyond text/image
Diversity Metrics - Statistical diversity assessment
Real-time Monitoring - Continuous quality checks in production pipelines

Limitations

The current built-in detection rules and model methods primarily focus on common data quality issues. For special evaluation needs, we recommend customizing detection rules.
