Problem
DDI relied on trained human assessors to score behavioral simulation responses, a process that typically took 24 to 48 hours due to the depth of evaluation required, and faced ML deployment challenges including hardware orchestration, infrastructure management, scaling, data privacy and coordinating multiple vendors.
…ment Content Design and Development, explained the existing process in detail, "Candidates complete an assessment and submit their responses. Trained human assessors then evaluate these submissions, scoring them based on thorough analysis. Due to the depth of evaluation required and the process of inputting scores into our system, this typically takes 24 to 48 hours." To reduce manual workflows, DDI sought to use ML models, which could provide f…

Solution
DDI used the Databricks Data + AI Platform to develop and deploy ML models for automating behavioral simulation analysis. Using Databricks Notebooks, the team experimented with prompt engineering on OpenAI's GPT-4 (few-shot learning, chain-of-thought prompting, and self-ask prompts), optimized prompts with DSPy, and instruction-fine-tuned a Llama3-8b model. MLflow tracked experiments and LLM operations, and Unity Catalog provided model governance and access control for models deployed as endpoints with Model Serving.
