Evaluation of model performance on the WebQuestions dataset specifically for Generative Question Answering, measured using metrics such as HALL, ABS, FACT, and F-score.

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 | Generative Question Answering |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | WebQuestions |
| Metric | HALL Score |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 10 of 10 |
| 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

- [HALL Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/generative-question-answering-on-webquestions.md?metric=HALL%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [ABS Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/generative-question-answering-on-webquestions.md?metric=ABS%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [FACT Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/generative-question-answering-on-webquestions.md?metric=FACT%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [F-score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/generative-question-answering-on-webquestions.md?metric=F-score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
