Pull request overview
This PR ports/updates human-labeled (“gold”) objective + harm datasets used for scorer evaluation, and refines evaluation/ingestion logic to better support ordinal harm scoring and experimental workflows.
Changes:
- Added/updated multiple human-labeled CSV datasets (objective + harm) and introduced a refined
task_achieved_refined.yamlrubric. - Exposed the evaluator’s dataset-only compute path as a public
evaluate_dataset_asyncAPI and updated unit tests accordingly. - Updated evaluation math to use medians (vs means) when aggregating multi-trial human/model scores; improved CSV ingestion robustness (encoding fallback, dropping blank rows).

evaluate_dataset_asynchas multiple parameters beyondself, but the signature doesn't enforce keyword-only args. In this repo we generally require keyword-only parameters for multi-arg methods to avoid positional-call mistakes; consider adding*afterself(and update call sites accordingly).

The docstring says evaluate_dataset_async runs "without side effects", but the evaluator does mutate scorer memory via _memory.add_message_to_memory() (and also performs scoring calls). If the intent is "without registry/file writing", consider updating the docstring to reflect that more precisely.

_validate_csv_columns() now only errors when a human score column is entirely NaN (isna().all()), which allows per-row missing human labels to pass validation. Downstream metric computation uses np.median / arithmetic on the full arrays and will propagate NaNs, producing invalid metrics. Either restore the stricter isna().any() check for human score columns, or explicitly support missing labels by filtering them out and using np.nanmedian / NaN-safe computations.

evaluate_dataset_asyncis now a public API surface but its parameters are positional (no*afterself). To reduce call-site ambiguity and keep consistency with other methods in this module that enforce keyword-only args (e.g.,_should_skip_evaluation,_compute_metrics, dataset constructors), consider makinglabeled_dataset,num_scorer_trials, andmax_concurrencykeyword-only by adding*afterselfand updating call sites accordingly.

_validate_csv_columns now only raises for human score columns when the entire column is NaN (isna().all()), but downstream code converts human scores to floats and uses np.median(...) for gold labels. Any per-row NaNs would propagate into gold_scores / metrics as NaN and silently corrupt results. Either restore the stricter validation (reject any NaNs in human score columns), or explicitly support partial missing annotations by filtering/aggregating with NaN-aware logic (e.g., per-row check that at least one human score is present and use np.nanmedian / drop NaNs before casting). Also update the error message to match the chosen behavior.

Both false_description and true_description strings end with an extra " character. Because these fields are used verbatim in the scorer prompt, that trailing quote will be part of the rubric text and is likely unintended. Please remove the stray quotes at the end of each description (and optionally reflow the long lines for readability).

So, I understand we don't want to run evals yet, because it's expensive. Would it make sense to add a helper function to scorer_evaluator that checks that the file format? For now, let's call this verify_scorer_eval_csv. I could see that being useful both now and later, and it could help us verify these datasets are the right format.
Then could you run this with all the scorers in the scorer registry? See #1406 (@varunj786). If the PR here is first, you may want to do this manually.
We may want to add the file checking to a future PR, but I do want to make sure all the csvs are formatted correctly before merge. But ideally, even part of this, we make it really easy to verify these files in the future.
Once this is done, everything looks good. So approving!
Description
This PR ports in human-labeled (gold) objective and harm datasets to evaluate our scorers. It also addresses a couple other things:
task_achieved_refined.yamlis added from hackathon experiment based on AutoCalibrate. For now, this is an additional rubric that can be used and default is not changed. However, this may replace the default one in a future PR pending further evaluation.evaluate_dataset_asyncNOTE: We are holding off on evaluating scorers and updating our JSONL registry files until a near-future PR while identity refactor is being finalized (#1434) and evaluate_scorers.py script is being updated (#1406).
