Report #98444

[research] Long-form generated text contains hidden false claims that aggregate metrics miss

Decompose generated text into atomic factual claims and verify each one independently against a trusted source. Report factual precision at the claim level, not just at the document or sentence level.

Journey Context:
Standard NLG metrics \(BLEU, ROUGE\) and even sentence-level factuality checks hide hallucinations because a passage can be mostly correct while containing one fatal error. FActScore \(Min et al., 2023\) breaks long-form text into atomic facts and scores the percentage supported by a knowledge source. This is the right evaluation mindset for agent outputs that make many small claims.
