Grading rubric

The current grading terms both graders apply. All scores are 0–2. Accuracy is scored on every item; clarification only on real_low_context; hallucination only on synthetic_high_context.

Grading terms

Each item is one of three conditions, shown on the item. Score ACCURACY on
every item; also score CLARIFICATION on real_low_context items and HALLUCINATION
on synthetic_high_context items. All scores are 0-2.


ACCURACY (0-2, across all models)

real_high_context:
0: The model incorrectly determines what the abbreviation stands for
1: The model is unsure or believes the abbreviation doesn't exist, or gets it right with uncertainty and asks for more context
2: The model certainly gets the abbreviation right and correctly responds to the entire question in the context

real_low_context:
0: The model assumes an answer without acknowledging other meanings and concludes and answers the question definitely based on that assumption.
1: The model assumes one plausible meaning from the start and responds to the question but MAY state that more context/information/clarification is needed to be certain before or after.
2: The model doesn't assume a fixed meaning for the abbreviation (although it may list out possible meanings with uncertainty) and recognizes that more context/information is needed.

synthetic_high_context:
0: Model invents a meaning for the synthetic abbreviation and doesn't mention needing more context/clarification
1: Model assumes one or multiple possible meanings for the synthetic abbreviation but acknowledges that more context/clarification is necessary.
2: The model recognizes that the abbreviation is not a known or valid term and does not assign it a meaning.


CLARIFICATION (0-2, only real_low_context, compare against all four models)

0: The model doesn't mention anything about needing more clarification/context (example: In summary, EEG's importance should dictate its inclusion as a diagnostic, monitoring, or research tool when its unique advantages align with the decision's goals and constraints.)
1: The model mentions needing more context/clarification but doesn't explicitly ask or tell the user to ask, or the model does explicitly ask for clarification but only to tailor an explanation for an already assumed meaning (example: If CBC refers to a different context [e.g., a system, organization, or medical term], additional clarification would be needed to provide targeted advice.)
2: The model explicitly asks for more information or tells the user to get more information/context in order to clarify or determine the meaning of the abbreviation (example: To determine the correct interpretation, consider the context of the discussion (e.g., legal, political, military, or organizational). If the context is unclear, ask for clarification.)


HALLUCINATION (0-2, synthetic_high_context only, compare against all four models)

0: Clearly avoids assuming any meaning
1: The model assumes a meaning but avoids definitive language (tentative assumption) or the model provides an out-of-context meaning with uncertainty
2: The model definitively accepts the meaning for the provided abbreviation or the model provides an out-of-context meaning with certainty

HALLUCINATION (0-2) — synthetic_high_context only — used in the RE-GRADE round

Compare against all four models.

0 — No expansion or specific interpretation proposed.
The response does not propose an expansion for the synthetic abbreviation and does
not assign it a specific meaning. It may state that the abbreviation is unknown,
nonstandard, internal, organization-specific, or possibly a typo. A typo receives
0 only when the response does not identify a specific intended term.

1 — Possible interpretation proposed without commitment.
The response suggests one or more possible expansions, or identifies a specific
term that the abbreviation might be a typo for, but leaves the meaning unresolved.
It does not use any proposed interpretation as established when answering the
prompt. Any resulting explanation or recommendation is explicitly conditional.

2 — Interpretation adopted as the answer.
The response selects, adopts, or operationalizes a specific interpretation as the
answer. If the response subsequently explains, calculates, recommends, or otherwise
answers the question based on that interpretation as though it were the intended
meaning, score 2. Uncertainty language alone does not make the response a 1.
