ILLUSTRATIVE EVALUATION / 日本語

AI RESPONSE / 3 CLAIMS

光合成について

植物は光エネルギーを利用し、二酸化炭素と水から有機物を合成する。

01 / PASS — Core claim supported

放出される酸素は、二酸化炭素に由来する。

02 / MAJOR ISSUE — Oxygen derives from water

光合成の効率は、光の強さや温度などに左右される。

03 / PASS — Acceptable Simplification

02 / EXPERT REVIEW

1 substantive correction; 1 terminology issue

EXPERT EVALUATION SUMMARY

Factuality / Major issue in claim 02

Reasoning / Mechanistic explanation needs revision

Japanese Quality / Clear and natural

Scientific Terminology / “photosynthetic efficiency” is not clearly defined.

02 / WHY THIS MATTERS

Why This Matters

A response can sound natural — and still be scientifically wrong.

Fluent Japanese is not enough.

Evaluating scientific AI output requires a combination of domain expertise, native-language judgment, and professional science communication.

Human expert review provides a critical reference for identifying factual errors, flawed reasoning, misleading certainty, terminology problems, and domain-specific failure modes in Japanese-language outputs.

Scientific Expertise

Rigorous evaluation grounded in scientific knowledge and research experience.

Scientific Communication

Clear, accurate judgment of how complex scientific concepts are communicated to the intended audience.

Japanese Language Precision

Native-level evaluation of terminology, nuance, clarity, precision, and naturalness.

03 / WHAT WE EVALUATE

What We Evaluate

Structured Expert Evaluation for Scientific AI

01

Factual Accuracy

Are scientific claims accurate and appropriately qualified?

02

Reasoning Quality

Does the conclusion follow from the evidence and underlying science?

03

Hallucinations & Unsupported Claims

Does the output invent facts, sources, mechanisms, relationships, or unwarranted certainty?

04

Japanese Language Quality

Is the Japanese clear, natural, precise, and appropriate for the intended audience?

05

Scientific Terminology

Are scientific and technical terms used accurately and consistently?

06

Claim-Level Evaluation

Individual scientific claims are assessed separately.

Standard Deliverables

Structured evaluation labels, expert comments, a project-specific error taxonomy, and a summary report highlighting recurring failure patterns and areas of concern.

Delivery formats can include CSV, JSONL, or client-defined formats.

Reviewer comments and summary reports are delivered in English by default, with Japanese available on request.

04 / OPTIONAL ADD-ONS

Optional Add-ons

All of the following are available as paid add-ons.

01

Expert Correction & Rewriting

Receive corrected or rewritten Japanese responses for outputs containing scientific or linguistic issues.

02

Extended Literature Verification

Conduct broader literature review when targeted source checking is not sufficient.

03

Citation Verification

Verify cited papers, sources, attribution, and whether references actually support the model's claims.

04

Additional Domain-Expert Review

Add a second or additional specialist review for high-stakes or highly technical content.

05 / EVALUATION EXAMPLES

Evaluation Examples

Representative examples

The examples below illustrate our evaluation approach and are not taken from client projects or a specific AI model.

Prompt

地球温暖化によってサンゴの白化が起こる仕組みを説明してください。

Model Response

海水温が上昇すると、サンゴは体内の褐虫藻を放出します。白化したサンゴはすぐに死亡し、水温が通常より1℃高くなると白化が起こります。

海水温が上昇すると、サンゴは体内の褐虫藻を放出します。

01 / PASS — Acceptable Simplification

Thermal stress can cause corals to lose their symbiotic algae or their pigments, resulting in bleaching. “Release” is broadly understandable but somewhat oversimplified.

白化したサンゴはすぐに死亡し、

02 / MAJOR ISSUE

Coral bleaching does not necessarily result in immediate mortality. Bleached corals can survive and recover if stressful conditions subside.

水温が通常より1℃高くなると白化が起こります。

03 / MAJOR ISSUE

Bleaching risk depends on both the magnitude and duration of thermal stress. A simple 1°C threshold does not mean bleaching will necessarily occur.

Overall Factuality: Major Issues
Error Types: Oversimplification · Overgeneralization · Overstated certainty

Japanese Quality: Pass

08 / HOW A PILOT WORKS

How a Pilot Works

Start Small. Evaluate Real Model Outputs.

01

Scope & Calibration

Define the project scope and review an initial sample to align the evaluation rubric, severity levels, terminology, and error taxonomy.

02

Evaluation

Native Japanese scientific experts evaluate model outputs using the agreed framework, with structured internal quality control.

03

Delivery

Receive structured evaluation data, expert comments, source-verification results where applicable, and a project summary highlighting recurring failure patterns.

Typical Pilot

Up to 100 responses · Approximately 2 weeks

Start with a focused pilot, then scale based on your evaluation needs.

09 / FAQ

FAQ

Do you only evaluate biology?

No. Biology, environmental science, and biomedical sciences are our core domains, but we can support other scientific and technical fields depending on the project.

Contact us to discuss your specific domain requirements.

Can you work with confidential model outputs under NDA?

Yes. We can work under your organization’s NDA and confidentiality requirements.
