Content Quality Metrics

Metrics for evaluating content safety, quality, and compliance. These metrics detect issues like hallucinations, bias, toxicity, PII leakage, and ensure appropriate behavior for specific use cases.

    HallucinationMetric,
    BiasMetric,
    ToxicityMetric,
    SummarizationMetric,
    PIILeakageMetric,
    NonAdviceMetric,
    MisuseMetric,
    RoleViolationMetric,
    JsonCorrectnessMetric,
    PromptAlignmentMetric,

    KnowledgeRetentionMetric,
    TopicAdherenceMetric
)
