AbstentionBench - answer unknown - BB/Known unknowns - F1: leaderboard
AbstentionBench evaluates whether a model appropriately declines unanswerable or underspecified questions. This slice reports answer unknown - BB/Known unknowns - F1 as Abstention F1 (%); values converted from 0-1 to percent. Precision and recall must be read together: always abstaining is not necessarily useful. Scenario/dataset pairs and SFT/DPO/RL checkpoints remain separate; no synthetic overall average.
