Hallucination Rates in Language Generation

arXiv:2607. 23361v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language generation in the limit is an elegant model introduced by Kleinberg and Mullainathan [KM24] to formally study language generation by an algorithm that learns solely based on example strings.

Generating in the Limit with Infinitely Many Hallucinations

arXiv:2606. 28354v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The classic paradigm of language identification in the limit models learning as a game between an adversary, who reveals strings from an unknown target language, and a learner tasked with identifying that language.

Language Identification with Succinct Machine-Independent Traces

arXiv:2607. 12443v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the power of large language models, there has been renewed interest in the Gold-Angluin model of language identification in the limit, with an eye toward variants of the model that might overcome the negative results for its original formulation.

Quality Control Algorithms for Pattern Counting

arXiv:2608. 03439v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent work, Marcussen, Rubinfeld, and Sudan introduced the notion of quality control problems, which aim to capture the task of determining if a given input is truly random.
