Evaluation of model performance on the TruthfulQA dataset using the 'f\_con o=5' configuration, reporting Accuracy and Residual Contamination (RC) metrics across Exact, Semantic-level, and Domain-level comparisons.

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 | Truthful Question Answering |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | TruthfulQA f\_con o=5 |
| Metric | Acc (Exact) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 18 of 18 |
| 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

- [Acc (Exact)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/truthful-question-answering-on-truthfulqa-f_con-o-5.md?metric=Acc%20(Exact)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [RC (Exact)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/truthful-question-answering-on-truthfulqa-f_con-o-5.md?metric=RC%20(Exact)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Acc (Semantic-level)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/truthful-question-answering-on-truthfulqa-f_con-o-5.md?metric=Acc%20(Semantic-level)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [RC (Semantic-level)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/truthful-question-answering-on-truthfulqa-f_con-o-5.md?metric=RC%20(Semantic-level)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Acc (Domain-level)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/truthful-question-answering-on-truthfulqa-f_con-o-5.md?metric=Acc%20(Domain-level)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [RC (Domain-level)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/truthful-question-answering-on-truthfulqa-f_con-o-5.md?metric=RC%20(Domain-level)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.
