[MASSHINE CONFERENCE] Assessing machine-generated content

Quantifiying the qualitative. Generative AI, through large language models, has become a cheap and quick method to generate misleading or fake stories. However, producing false or inaccurate results is not always intentional, as machine-generated contents are subject to “artificial hallucinations”.


[Tool] Testing the factuality of machine-generated content

The IDL Index is a human-based judgment metric for assessing the factuality of machine-generated content. It is a language-agnostic tool designed to evaluate content generated by large language model systems in the context of academic research. To what extent do generative AI tools adapt to facts or create “artificial hallucinations”?


[Paper] The Information Disorder Level (IDL) Index: A Human-Based Metric to Assess the Factuality of Machine-Generated Content
