- A
ROUGE score
ROUGE measures recall-based overlap of n-grams, commonly used for summarization evaluation.
- B
BLEU score
BLEU measures precision-based n-gram overlap; it is often used for translation but also applicable to summarization.
- C
Accuracy
Why wrong: Accuracy is a classification metric, not suitable for evaluating summarization quality.
- D
Latency
Why wrong: Latency measures response time, not summary quality.
- E
Perplexity
Why wrong: Perplexity measures how well the model predicts text, not the quality of a summary.

AIF-C01 Generative AI and Foundation Models Practice Question
This AIF-C01 practice question tests your understanding of generative ai and foundation models. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company is using Amazon Bedrock with a foundation model for a text summarization task. They want to evaluate the quality of the summaries. Which TWO metrics are appropriate for evaluating the quality of generated summaries? (Select TWO)

Correct answer & explanation
✓
ROUGE score
ROUGE (Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation) is specifically designed for evaluating text summarization by comparing the overlap of n-grams, word sequences, and word pairs between the generated summary and reference summaries. It measures recall-oriented metrics that capture how much of the reference content is preserved in the generated summary, making it a standard choice for summarization tasks.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Perplexity measures how well the model predicts text, not the quality of a summary.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
AWS often tests the distinction between metrics designed for generation tasks (ROUGE, BLEU) versus classification metrics (Accuracy) or model performance metrics (Perplexity, Latency), leading candidates to mistakenly select Accuracy or Perplexity for summarization evaluation.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
ROUGE-N (e.g., ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2) measures unigram and bigram overlap, while ROUGE-L uses the longest common subsequence to capture sentence-level structure. BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy) is primarily used for machine translation but can be adapted for summarization by measuring precision of n-gram overlap; however, it is less recall-focused than ROUGE. In practice, a combination of ROUGE variants (ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, ROUGE-L) is often used to evaluate summarization tasks on Amazon Bedrock, and BLEU may be considered when the task requires precision-oriented evaluation, such as in abstractive summarization where conciseness is critical.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A startup's cloud architect reviews their monthly bill and notices costs are higher than expected for a long-running batch job. Switching from on-demand instances to Reserved Instances — or using Spot/Preemptible VMs — can reduce compute costs by up to 72 %. Questions like this test whether you understand the tradeoffs between commitment, flexibility, and cost across cloud pricing models.
