Evaluation of model performance on the TruthfulQA dataset, focusing on the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUROC) and its 95% Confidence Interval.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Factual Question Answering |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | TruthfulQA |
| Metric | AUROC |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 4 of 4 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [AUROC](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/factual-question-answering-on-truthfulqa-auroc-95-percent-ci.md?metric=AUROC>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [AUROC 95% CI](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/factual-question-answering-on-truthfulqa-auroc-95-percent-ci.md?metric=AUROC%2095%25%20CI>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
