Reference documentation and code samples for the Discovery Engine v1 API class AnswerQueryRequest.Types.AnswerGenerationSpec.
Specifies whether to filter out adversarial queries. The default value
is false.
Google employs search-query classification to detect adversarial
queries. No answer is returned if the search query is classified as an
adversarial query. For example, a user might ask a question regarding
negative comments about the company or submit a query designed to
generate unsafe, policy-violating output. If this field is set to
true, we skip generating answers for adversarial queries and return
fallback messages instead.
Optional. Specifies whether to filter out jail-breaking queries. The
default value is false.
Google employs search-query classification to detect jail-breaking
queries. No summary is returned if the search query is classified as a
jail-breaking query. A user might add instructions to the query to
change the tone, style, language, content of the answer, or ask the
model to act as a different entity, e.g. "Reply in the tone of a
competing company's CEO". If this field is set to true, we skip
generating summaries for jail-breaking queries and return fallback
messages instead.
public bool IgnoreLowRelevantContent { get; set; }
Specifies whether to filter out queries that have low relevance.
If this field is set to false, all search results are used regardless
of relevance to generate answers. If set to true or unset, the behavior
will be determined automatically by the service.
public bool IgnoreNonAnswerSeekingQuery { get; set; }
Specifies whether to filter out queries that are not answer-seeking.
The default value is false.
Google employs search-query classification to detect answer-seeking
queries. No answer is returned if the search query is classified as a
non-answer seeking query. If this field is set to true, we skip
generating answers for non-answer seeking queries and return
fallback messages instead.
