Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Construct an advanced vector RAG index using LlamaIndex to query power demand forecasts and green hydrogen research from the Salalah Energy Forum.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates accuracy of query answer retrieval and faithfulness against Salalah energy paper ground truth.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

Target Year Match

Verifies that extracted projection target year is 2050.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

Retrieval Accuracy

Percentage of accurate facts retrieved. • target: 1 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
