Hallucination Mitigation with Agentic AI, Nested Learning, and AI Sustainability via Semantic Caching

arXiv:2605. 29055v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper describes an approach to hallucination detection and mitigation using a HOPE-inspired Nested Learning architecture with Continuum Memory Systems (CMS) and semantic similarity caching, tested on a hybrid benchmark of 310 prompts (217 epistemic-uncertainty prompts, 93 fabrication-induction stress tests).

An Interpretable Memory Decision Controller for LLM Agents Based on Three-Signal Complementarity: Decoupling Confidence and Consistency

The paper introduces the Memory Decision Layer (MDL), a zero‑parameter controller that sits between retrieval and generation in large language models. MDL uses a three‑signal complementary encoder—combining relevance, reliability, and task risk—to produce an interpretable decision about the trustworthiness of retrieved memories. By decoupling confidence from consistency and enabling risk inversion and abstention, MDL cuts hallucination rates under conflicting memories by roughly 56% and nearly eliminates them in high‑risk scenarios, all while adding only 0.14 ms per decision.

UHP Detection: LVLMs have their Unique Hallucination Pattern in the Consistency Space

arXiv:2608. 03817v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large vision--language models (LVLMs) demonstrate strong multimodal reasoning capabilities but remain prone to hallucination, where model predictions are not grounded in visual evidence.

SEVA: Self-Evolving Verification Agent with Process Reward for Fact Attribution

arXiv:2606. 29713v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hallucination is the reliability bottleneck for LLM-based agents, and fact attribution verifiers are the last line of defense -- yet today's verifiers emit only opaque binary labels, leaving agents unable to self-correct and operators unable to audit.
