Reference documentation and code samples for the Discovery Engine v1beta API class CheckGroundingResponse.Types.Claim.
Text and citation info for a claim in the answer candidate.
public RepeatedField<int> CitationIndices { get; }
A list of indices (into 'cited_chunks') specifying the citations
associated with the claim. For instance [1,3,4] means that
cited_chunks[1], cited_chunks[3], cited_chunks[4] are the facts cited
supporting for the claim. A citation to a fact indicates that the claim
is supported by the fact.
Indicates that this claim required grounding check. When the system
decided this claim doesn't require attribution/grounding check, this
field will be set to false. In that case, no grounding check was done for
the claim and therefore
[citation_indices][google.cloud.discoveryengine.v1beta.CheckGroundingResponse.Claim.citation_indices],
[anti_citation_indices][google.cloud.discoveryengine.v1beta.CheckGroundingResponse.Claim.anti_citation_indices],
and
[score][google.cloud.discoveryengine.v1beta.CheckGroundingResponse.Claim.score]
should not be returned.
