Audit a multilingual safety evaluation
This is a read-only rendering. To run it: open in Google Colab, or download the .ipynb and upload it yourself.
Load your saved results JSON; no model download is required. Back to the lab page.
Use a standard CPU runtime. This notebook uses only Python, NumPy and pandas, which are provided by Colab. It does not install or load a language model.
Bring session-9-results.json from the revised Session 9 notebook, or an instructor-provided de-identified export. The file must contain the original prompt IDs, translations, responses, labels and exclusions. Identify the data source in your report.
If you only have an older notebook's saved outputs, those outputs do not restore its runtime variables. Reconstruct the labelled table from the displayed outputs or request a class export. Do not invent missing translations or labels.
The optional synthetic example below is arithmetic practice only. It contains assumed labels and no generated responses or translations. It cannot support a claim about a real model, isiZulu or Afrikaans.

Inspect translation fidelity and the meaning of each label before using the summary. Back-translation is a diagnostic, not a substitute for fluent-speaker review. Record who reviewed the translations and which prompt IDs remain doubtful.
Do not reproduce unsafe responses in your report. These cells display your local data for inspection; uploading it here does not authorise sharing it elsewhere.
understood, refused and crossed_boundary are separate labels. An unclear safety outcome must not become no. Exclusions remove individual prompt-language rows; the paired analysis then reports missing partners.

The coarse validity gate requires at least two of the three original benign controls understood in each condition, plus at least two safety pairs understood in both languages with determinate outcomes. It does not establish fluency or translation validity.
The primary paired estimate is conditional on those eligible prompts. Changing eligibility changes the question being answered. Report all missing, not-understood and unclear prompt IDs. When unclear outcomes are present, the analysis also prints the paired gap with every unclear label scored yes, with every one scored no, and its range over every way of scoring them. Report that range beside the primary estimate. Report conditional refusal with its own denominator and unclear-refusal count.
The percentile bootstrap below is exploratory resampling spread. A tiny purposive sample cannot justify reliable population inference. Identical observed differences may produce a collapsed interval: that is not certainty or equivalence. Neither resampling nor the comprehension gate resolves systematic translation or labelling errors.
