The paper proposes a hidden‑state probing method for detecting hallucinations at the span level in large language model outputs, moving beyond token‑wise binary classification. By examining layer‑wise activation patterns, the approach identifies the exact onset and continuation tokens of hallucinations, achieving higher precision‑recall AUC than random baselines despite class imbalance. Additionally, the authors introduce a cross‑model detection framework where one model observes another’s internal representations, showing that an external observer can match or surpass the generator’s own self‑detection of hallucination onsets, even when the observer is smaller.

The paper introduces Prediction of Prediction (PoP), a method that fuses intermediate hidden representations across transformer layers during a single forward pass to detect hallucinations in large language models. PoP leverages internal hidden‑state transition dynamics to signal factual errors without extra decoding steps, achieving a 75.5% AUROC on the TruthfulQA benchmark with less than 1.2% added latency.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across diverse tasks, yet they remain prone to generating hallucinations. Detecting these hallucinations is critical for deploying LLMs reliably in high-stakes applications.
