# Bond Index LLM Evaluation Suite

## Overview

This script extends the Bond Index calibration framework to evaluate **real Large Language Models (LLMs)** for representational coherence in ethical decision-making. It directly addresses the IEEE TAI reviewer concern about synthetic-only validation.

## Quick Start

### Local Evaluation with Ollama (Recommended for Reproducibility)

```bash
# Install Ollama
curl -fsSL https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh

# Pull a model
ollama pull llama3.1:8b

# Run evaluation
python bond_index_llm_evaluation.py --backend ollama --model llama3.1:8b
```

### Cloud Evaluation with Groq (Fast, Free Tier)

```bash
# Set API key (get from https://console.groq.com)
export GROQ_API_KEY=your_key_here

# Run evaluation
python bond_index_llm_evaluation.py --backend groq --model llama-3.1-70b-versatile
```

---

## Features

### 1. Multiple Backend Support

| Backend | Local/Cloud | Free Tier | Best For |
|---------|-------------|-----------|----------|
| **Ollama** | Local | Unlimited | Reproducibility, offline |
| **Groq** | Cloud | 6000 req/day | Fast inference |
| **Together AI** | Cloud | $5 credit | Model variety |
| **HuggingFace** | Cloud | Rate limited | Academic credibility |

### 2. DEME Ethical Dimension Testing

Tests LLM invariance across 9 ethical framings:

1. **Consequentialist** — Outcome/welfare framing
2. **Deontological** — Rights/duties framing  
3. **Justice** — Fairness/equity framing
4. **Autonomy** — Self-determination framing
5. **Privacy** — Information ethics framing
6. **Societal** — Systemic/scale framing
7. **Virtue** — Character-based framing
8. **Procedural** — Process/authority framing
9. **Epistemic** — Uncertainty/confidence framing

### 3. Bootstrap Confidence Intervals

All Bond Index measurements include 95% confidence intervals:

```
Bd = 0.0847  [0.0523, 0.1234] 95% CI
```

### 4. Comprehensive Reporting

- Console output with formatted tables
- JSON export for reproducibility
- CSV summary for paper inclusion
- Per-dimension sensitivity profiles

## Interpreting Results

### Bond Index Tiers

| Tier | Bd Range | Interpretation |
|------|----------|----------------|
| **Negligible** | < 0.05 | Excellent coherence |
| **Low** | 0.05 - 0.15 | Good coherence, minor issues |
| **Moderate** | 0.15 - 0.35 | Needs attention |
| **High** | 0.35 - 0.55 | Significant coherence issues |
| **Severe** | > 0.55 | Major representational defects |

### DEME Sensitivity

- **Low sensitivity (< 0.05)**: LLM is invariant to this ethical framing
- **Moderate sensitivity (0.05 - 0.15)**: Some frame-dependent behavior
- **High sensitivity (> 0.15)**: LLM decisions change based on framing

### Confidence Intervals

Narrow CI indicates stable measurement:
```
Bd = 0.0847 [0.0750, 0.0950]  ← Stable
Bd = 0.0847 [0.0200, 0.2500]  ← High variance, need more scenarios
```

## Reproducing Paper Results

For IEEE TAI paper-quality results:

```bash
# Recommended settings for paper
python bond_index_llm_evaluation.py \
    --backend ollama \
    --models llama3.1:8b,llama3.1:70b,mistral,phi3,qwen2 \
    --n-scenarios 100 \
    --seed 42 \
    --bootstrap-samples 2000 \
    --output results/paper_evaluation.json
```

### Exact Reproduction

The script uses deterministic settings:
- `--seed 42` for scenario generation
- `--temperature 0.0` for LLM outputs
- Fixed transform intensity grid: [0.3, 0.6, 1.0]

All results should be exactly reproducible given the same model weights.

## Ethical Scenario Domains

The script generates scenarios across 6 domains:

1. **Medical triage** — Resource allocation in healthcare
2. **Autonomous vehicles** — Collision avoidance decisions
3. **Resource allocation** — Community program funding
4. **Content moderation** — Platform policy decisions
5. **Hiring decisions** — Candidate selection criteria
6. **Privacy trade-offs** — Data use vs. protection

Each domain presents realistic ethical tensions that test whether LLMs maintain coherent decision-making across different framings.

## Troubleshooting

### Ollama Issues

```bash
# Check if Ollama is running
curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags

# Start Ollama server
ollama serve

# Pull missing model
ollama pull llama3.1:8b
```

### Rate Limiting (Cloud Backends)

The script includes automatic rate limiting and retry logic. If you hit limits:

```bash
# Reduce request rate
# Edit config.requests_per_minute in script, or
# Use --quiet to reduce output and slight speed increase
```

### Memory Issues (Large Models)

```bash
# Use smaller model
python bond_index_llm_evaluation.py --model llama3.1:8b  # Not 70b

# Or use cloud backend
python bond_index_llm_evaluation.py --backend groq --model llama-3.1-70b-versatile
```
