Introduction to Enrichments

Enrichments are specialized evaluation features that augment your LLM application data with automatically generated trust and safety metrics. By defining enrichments during model onboarding, you instruct Fiddler to analyze published prompts and responses using purpose-built models that assess dimensions like faithfulness, toxicity, relevance, and safety compliance. The enrichment framework processes your application’s inputs and outputs to generate quantitative scores that integrate directly with Fiddler’s monitoring dashboards, alerting systems, and root cause analysis tools. This approach enables proactive detection of model drift, content safety violations, and performance degradation without requiring manual evaluation or external API dependencies.
  • Enrichments are custom features designed to augment the data provided in events
  • Enrichments augment existing columns with new metrics that are defined during model onboarding
  • The new metrics are available for use within the analysis, charting, and alerting functionalities in Fiddler
The following example demonstrates how to configure a TextEmbedding enrichment to enable vector-based monitoring and visualization of your LLM application’s text inputs. TextEmbedding enrichments convert unstructured text into high-dimensional vector representations that capture semantic meaning, enabling Fiddler to detect drift in the topics and themes of your prompts or responses over time. In this configuration, the enrichment transforms text from the question column into numerical embeddings stored in question_embedding. These embeddings power Fiddler’s 3D UMAP visualizations, allowing you to visually identify clusters of similar content, detect outliers, and spot shifts in user behavior patterns. The TextEmbedding feature also enables drift detection by comparing the distribution of embeddings between your baseline and production data, providing early warning when your application encounters significantly different types of content than expected.
import fiddler as fdl

# Define a TextEmbedding enrichment for vector-based monitoring
fiddler_custom_features = [
    fdl.TextEmbedding(
        name='question_cf',          # Internal name for the custom feature
        source_column='question',    # Original text column to analyze
        column='question_embedding', # Generated embedding vector column
    ),
]

model_spec = fdl.ModelSpec(
    inputs=['question'],
    custom_features=fiddler_custom_features,
)

Embedding

Embeddings are numerical representations (vectors) generated by a model for input text. Each number within the vector represents a different dimension of the text input. The meaning of each number depends on how the embedding generating model was trained. Fiddler uses publicly available embeddings to power the 3D UMAP experience. Because the same model generates all embeddings, the points will naturally cluster, enabling quick visual anomaly detection. To create embeddings and leverage them for the UMAP visualization, you must create a new TextEmbedding enrichment on your unstructured text column. If you want to bring your own embeddings onto the Fiddler platform, you can direct Fiddler to consume the embeddings vector directly from your data.
Example 1: Fiddler-Generated EmbeddingsThis example automatically generates text embeddings on a text column called prompt:
import fiddler as fdl

fiddler_custom_features = [
    fdl.TextEmbedding(
        name='Prompt TextEmbedding',  # name of generated column (for internal use, required)
        source_column='prompt',  # source - raw text
        column='Enrichment Prompt Embedding',  # name of the vector output
        n_clusters=5,  # Number of clusters for k-means clustering
        n_tags=5,  # Top n tags used as summary tags per cluster
    ),
]

model_spec = fdl.ModelSpec(
    inputs=['prompt'],
    custom_features=fiddler_custom_features,
)
Generated Columns:
ColumnTypeDescription

Prompt Text EmbeddingintegerColumn for internal use
Prompt Text Embedding - Centroid DistancefloatCentroid Distance to string column prompt
Example 2: User-Provided EmbeddingsThis example demonstrates leveraging an existing vector column of text embeddings called pre_existing_prompt_embedding:
Vector embeddings must use data type List(float) for compatibility. Using CSV for source data often requires preprocessing after initial loading into a pandas dataframe.
import ast
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import fiddler as fdl

df = pd.read_csv(PATH_TO_SAMPLE_CSV)
# Convert string representation to list
df['pre_existing_prompt_embedding'] = df['pre_existing_prompt_embedding'].apply(
    ast.literal_eval
)

fiddler_custom_features = [
    fdl.TextEmbedding(
        name='User-provided Text Embedding',  # name of the generated column
        source_column='prompt',  # source - raw text
        column='pre_existing_prompt_embedding',  # name of your vector column
    ),
]

    custom_features=fiddler_custom_features,
)
Generated Columns:
ColumnTypeDescription
User-provided Text EmbeddingintegerColumn for internal use
User-provided Text Embedding - Centroid DistancefloatCentroid Distance to string column prompt

Centroid Distance

Fiddler uses KMeans to determine cluster membership for a given enrichment. The Centroid Distance enrichment provides information about the distance between the selected point and the closest centroid. Centroid Distance is automatically added if the TextEmbedding enrichment is created for any given model.
Centroid Distance columns are automatically generated when you create a TextEmbedding enrichment. See the Embedding section above for complete usage examples.

Personally Identifiable Information

The PII (Personally Identifiable Information) enrichment tool is a critical tool for detecting and flagging sensitive information in textual data. Whether user-entered or system-generated, this enrichment aims to identify instances where PII may be exposed, helping prevent privacy breaches and misuse of personal data. In an era where digital privacy concerns are paramount, mishandling or unintentionally leaking PII can have serious repercussions, including privacy violations, identity theft, and significant legal and reputational damage.
PII enrichment is integrated with Presidio for entity detection.
Python Configuration:
import fiddler as fdl

fiddler_custom_features = [
    fdl.Enrichment(
