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 Evidence-Aligned Entity Verification (EAEV), a method for detecting entity-level hallucinations in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). EAEV aligns generated entities with retrieved evidence across three dimensions and uses counterfactual stability analysis to maintain robust alignments when evidence changes. Experiments on multiple RAG benchmarks show that EAEV consistently outperforms existing hallucination detection methods and generalizes well.
The paper introduces a low-cost method for detecting hallucinations in large language models by treating the model as a black-box dynamical system. It projects responses into a high-dimensional manifold, models the latent state-space dynamics with Koopman operator theory, and uses differential residual scores from transition operators to distinguish factual from hallucinated outputs. The approach requires only a single-sample pass and shows state-of-the-art performance across three benchmarks with reduced resource overhead.
