OpenFactCheck Documentation

.. module:: openfactcheck

OpenFactCheck is an open source, Apache-licensed library designed to facilitate the evaluation and enhancement of factuality in responses generated by large language models (LLMs).

The design of {mod}openfactcheck emphasizes two principles:

• Customizability and extensibility for both users and developers
• Compatibility with existing methods and datasets

It consists of three core modules:

:grid-columns: 1 1 2 3

- header: "{fas}`check-to-slot;pst-color-primary`  Response Evaluator"
  content: "Customizes an automatic fact-checker to verify free-form documents, providing detailed reports on the factuality of the responses."
- header: "{fas}`chart-line;pst-color-primary`  LLM Evaluator"
  content: "Applies factuality-specific benchmarks to assess the factual performance of large language models, providing detailed reports on the factuality of the responses."
- header: "{fas}`trophy;pst-color-primary`  Fact Checker Evaluator"
  content: "Evaluates fact-checking accuracy, featuring a leaderboard that ranks systems by precision, speed, and cost, driving innovation in automatic fact-checking."
