LLM structured output: schema validity masks correctness issues

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created a system that uses a JSON Schema validator and a coercion layer to ensure structured output from language models is both valid and correct. While the schema validator ensures the output conforms to the expected format, the coercion layer corrects minor errors like incorrect capitalization or data types. However, the system's "correctness" rate, which measures accuracy against a hand-written corpus, only slightly improves after coercion, and the number of silently incorrect outputs increases, highlighting the gap between schema validity and true accuracy. AI

IMPACT Highlights the critical difference between schema validity and factual correctness in LLM outputs, impacting data integrity for AI applications.
