ff

What this part means

f is part of the quantity the equation computes from the expression on the right.

Its job in the formula

f is part of the quantity the equation computes from the expression on the right.

The passage around this formula

Here θ\theta denotes the model’s parameters and H denotes everything about the evaluation procedure that is not the model itself — the exact prompt template, the number of few-shot examples, whether a chat template is applied, how the model’s free-text output is parsed into a scored answer, and the decoding configuration. A vendor publishes one value of s . An independent lab computing its own s' is implicitly testing whether f(θ\theta, H) = f(θ\theta', H') , and a mismatch could in principle come from either argument.
