Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use this scorer?

Use RetrievalF1Scorer when you need to evaluate rag and accuracy aspects of your AI outputs. It's particularly useful for rag-based question answering systems.

Why doesn't this scorer need expected output?

This scorer evaluates quality aspects that don't require comparison against a reference answer. It uses the system prompt and context as the implicit ground truth.

Can I customize the threshold?

Yes, the default threshold of 7 can be customized when configuring the scorer.
