Faktentreue ist die Eigenschaft einer Modellausgabe, mit der Realität oder etablierten Fakten übereinzustimmen. Sie ist besonders wichtig für Fragebeantwortung und Informationsaufgaben, obwohl kreative Aufgaben angemessen Vorstellungskraft über faktische Genauigkeit stellen können.
Within the ML world, a property describing a model whose output is based on reality. Factuality is a concept rather than a metric. For example, suppose you send the following prompt to a large language model: What is the chemical formula for table salt? A model optimizing factuality would respond: NaCl It is tempting to assume that all models should be based on factuality. However, some prompts, such as the following, should cause a generative AI model to optimize creativity rather than factuality. Tell me a limerick about an astronaut and a caterpillar. It is unlikely that the resulting limerick would be based on reality. Contrast with groundedness.
