Did you know that even top-performing language models can fail in real-world use cases without proper evaluation across both automated metrics and human judgment? Rigorous evaluation is the backbone of trustworthy AI deployment.
This Short Course was created to help professionals in this field implement robust evaluation frameworks that combine automated benchmarks with human judgment for comprehensive language model assessment.
By completing this course, you will be able to measure language model quality using statistical metrics, integrate human-in-the-loop evaluation, and interpret results to guide model selection and improvement—skills essential for building reliable, responsible, and high-performing AI systems.
By the end of this 3-hour long course, you will be able to:
Evaluate language models using automatic and human-in-the-loop metrics.
This course is unique because it merges quantitative scoring with qualitative human evaluation, giving you a complete toolkit to assess accuracy, safety, usefulness, and alignment in modern language models.
To be successful in this project, you should have:
ML fundamentals
Language model basics
Statistical evaluation knowledge
Experience with Python and evaluation libraries
Learners will understand the foundational principles of combining automated metrics with human-in-the-loop evaluation for comprehensive language model assessment.

Coursera brings together a diverse network of subject matter experts who have demonstrated their expertise through professional industry experience or strong academic backgrounds. These instructors design and teach courses that make practical, career-relevant skills accessible to learners worldwide.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
