## Choose when

### Choose evidentiality_qa if…

- evidentiality_qa is primarily Python; generative-ai is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to evidentiality_qa: evidentiality prediction, multi-task learning, nlp, retrieval-augmented-generation.
- Also covers Model Training.
- When aiming to improve performance in open question answering, fact verification, or knowledge-enhanced dialogue with retrieval-augmented methods.

### Choose generative-ai if…

- generative-ai is primarily Jupyter Notebook; evidentiality_qa is Python.
- Tags unique to generative-ai: agentic-ai, claude, gemini, genai-usecase.
- Also covers AI Agents, Evaluation & Observability, Inference & Serving, LLM Frameworks.
- Use generative-ai if you are seeking detailed learning resources covering a wide range of topics from agentic AI to multimodal applications.

## When NOT to use evidentiality_qa

- In tasks that do not benefit from passage evidentiality considerations such as free-form text generation without factual reliance.
- When working with datasets for which silver evidentiality labels cannot be generated using the provided methodology.

## When NOT to use generative-ai

- Avoid using generative-ai if you need materials for other AI categories, such as reinforcement learning, that are not comprehensively covered here.
- Not suitable if you require hands-on project components in the form of executable code over Jupyter Notebooks, which serve more as a guide rather than immediate implementation solutions.
