Parameter
Name Description
objObject
Overrides
getDefaultInstanceForType()
public Answer . GroundingSupport getDefaultInstanceForType ()
getEndIndex()
public long getEndIndex ()
Required. End of the claim, exclusive.
int64 end_index = 2 [(.google.api.field_behavior) = REQUIRED];
Returns
Type Description
long The endIndex.
getGroundingCheckRequired()
public boolean getGroundingCheckRequired ()
Indicates that this claim required grounding check. When the
system decided this claim didn't require attribution/grounding check,
this field is set to false. In that case, no grounding check was
done for the claim and therefore grounding_score, sources is not
returned.
optional bool grounding_check_required = 4;
Returns
Type Description
boolean The groundingCheckRequired.
getGroundingScore()
public double getGroundingScore ()
A score in the range of [0, 1] describing how grounded is a specific
claim by the references.
Higher value means that the claim is better supported by the reference
chunks.
optional double grounding_score = 3;
Returns
Type Description
double The groundingScore.

Returns
Type Description
long The startIndex.
hasGroundingCheckRequired()
public boolean hasGroundingCheckRequired ()
Indicates that this claim required grounding check. When the
