# FACTS Grounding 1.0 Public Examples
#### 860 public FACTS Grounding examples from Google DeepMind and Google Research

FACTS Grounding is a benchmark from Google DeepMind and Google Research designed to measure the performance of AI Models on factuality and grounding.

## Usage

The FACTS Grounding benchmark evaluates the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate factually accurate responses 
grounded in provided long-form documents, encompassing a variety of domains. FACTS Grounding moves beyond simple factual 
question-answering by assessing whether LLM responses are fully grounded to the provided context and correctly synthesize 
information from a long context document. By providing a standardized evaluation framework, FACTS Grounding aims to 
promote the development of LLMs that are both knowledgeable and trustworthy, facilitating their responsible deployment 
in real-world applications.

## Dataset Description

This dataset is a collection 860 examples (public set) crafted by humans for evaluating how well an AI system grounds their answers to a given context. Each example is composed of a few parts:

* A system prompt (`system_instruction`) which provides general instructions to the model, including to only answer the question provided based on the information in the given context
* A task (`user_request`) which includes the specific question(s) for the system to answer e.g. "*What are some tips on saving money?*"
* A long document (`context_document`) which includes information necessary to answer to question e.g. an SEC filing for a publicly traded US company

This dataset also contains evaluation prompts (`evaluation_prompts.csv`) for judging model generated responses to the examples. See the [Technical Report](https://storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-media/FACTS/FACTS_grounding_paper.pdf) for methodology details.

## Limitations
While this benchmark represents a step forward in evaluating factual accuracy, more work remains to be done. First, this benchmark relies on potentially noisy automated LLM judge models for evaluation. By ensembling a range of frontier LLMs and averaging judge outputs, we attempt to mitigate this. Second, the FACTS benchmark focuses only on evaluating grounded responses to long-form text input and could potentially be extended.
