Large Language Models remain plagued by hallucinations. Recent work has sought to tame their prevalence using statistical techniques based on conformal prediction, with both theoretical and empirical success.
arXiv:2605. 28910v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise on summarization tasks, but they often produce hallucinations, which are unsupported or incorrect statements that limit their reliability in specialized healthcare applications.

arXiv:2603. 09986v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Hallucinations, the tendency for large language models to provide responses with factually incorrect and unsupported claims, is a serious problem within natural language processing for which we do not yet have an effective solution to mitigate against.

The paper presents a geometric framework for quantifying uncertainty in large language models (LLMs) at both the prompt and answer levels. By modeling a prompt-conditioned semantic distribution in answer embedding space and using archetypal analysis on multiple sampled answers, the method estimates distribution entropy for prompt-level uncertainty and atypicality for individual answer reliability. Experiments demonstrate comparable or superior performance to existing techniques on short-form QA datasets and notably better results on medical datasets where hallucinations pose critical risks.
