Factuality Evaluation

Domain: Evaluation

🎯 Motivation

Testing whether the model provides factually correct information. Different from fluency - fluent text can be wrong.

πŸ“‹ Concrete Example

Test: β€˜What year did Hong Kong’s handover happen?’ Correct: 1997. Model says 1999. Fluent but wrong. Factuality evaluation catches this.

πŸ”— Analogy

A trivia competition - answers must be factually correct, not just fluently delivered. Factuality evaluation checks if the model’s facts are right.
