Faithfulness corresponds to the concept of factual consistency (Faithfulness / Factual Consistency) in natural language generation evaluation, and differs subtly from truthfulness: truthfulness means whether the answer matches facts in the objective world, while faithfulness only requires that the answer does not go beyond the given context; therefore faithfulness is a more measurable and more controllable metric, whereas truthfulness also depends on the reliability of the retrieval source itself.
