## Overview

arXiv:2607.07302v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper reports an empirical study evaluating the relevance of several RAG metrics. The experiment is based on a question-answering dataset created by human annotators from business data. The generated responses and retrieved spans of a RAG system are scored using evaluation metrics from four libraries (Ragas, DeepEval, RAGChecker, Opik). These metrics are compared to scores given by two evaluators, as well as to standard metrics such as recall.
