Evaluation of longform biography generation models on the test split of the Biographies dataset, focusing on factual accuracy metrics like FACTSCORE and average number of facts generated.

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 | Longform generation of biographies |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Biographies (test) |
| Metric | FACTSCORE |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 9 of 9 |
| 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

- [FACTSCORE](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/longform-biography-generation-on-biographies-test.md?metric=FACTSCORE>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Avg # Facts Generated](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/longform-biography-generation-on-biographies-test.md?metric=Avg%20%23%20Facts%20Generated>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
