š Just Found an Interesting New Leaderboard for Medical AI Evaluation!
I recently stumbled upon a medical domain-specific FACTS Grounding leaderboard on Hugging Face, and the approach to evaluating AI accuracy in medical contexts is quite impressive, so I thought I'd share.
š What is FACTS Grounding?
It's originally a benchmark developed by Google DeepMind that measures how well LLMs generate answers based solely on provided documents. What's cool about this medical-focused version is that it's designed to test even small open-source models.
š„ Medical Domain Version Features
236 medical examples: Extracted from the original 860 examples
Tests small models like Qwen 3 1.7B: Great for resource-constrained environments
Uses Gemini 1.5 Flash for evaluation: Simplified to a single judge model
š The Evaluation Method is Pretty Neat
Grounding Score: Are all claims in the response supported by the provided document?
Quality Score: Does it properly answer the user's question?
Combined Score: Did it pass both checks?
Since medical information requires extreme accuracy, this thorough verification approach makes a lot of sense.
š Check It Out Yourself
The actual leaderboard: MaziyarPanahi/FACTS-Leaderboard
š My thoughts: As medical AI continues to evolve, evaluation tools like this are becoming increasingly important. The fact that it can test smaller models is particularly helpful for the open-source community!
