Researchers have developed a new evaluation method for Large Language Models (LLMs) in question answering over radiology reports, aiming to dissociate answerability from extraction. The proposed method separates false answer rates and over-abstention rates from the traditional F1 score, providing a more nuanced understanding of model performance. When applied to 13 LLMs, the evaluation revealed significant differences in false answer rates among models with similar F1 scores, and demonstrated that providing an unanswerable example improved abstention rates without compromising extraction quality.
