Factuality

A quality dimension describing how well generated content aligns with real-world facts, source data, or verifiable truth.

Factuality emphasizes that it is not enough for text to be fluent; it must also be correct. Generative models can produce factual errors especially in summarization, question answering, and information synthesis. For this reason, factuality assessment has become an integral part of modern LLM quality evaluation.
