arXiv:2510. 27313v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Generation novelty is a key indicator of an LLM's ability to generalize, yet measuring it against full pretraining corpora is computationally challenging.

arXiv:2606. 01304v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hard negative mining has become the dominant strategy for training retrievers, yet it faces intrinsic limitations: negatives are bounded by corpus availability, selected by retriever score rather than diagnostic value, and increasingly contaminated by false positives as the retriever improves.

arXiv:2607. 04223v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) reduces but does not eliminate hallucination, and existing detectors return a single answer-level score that does not indicate which sentence is unsupported, or why.

arXiv:2510. 21891v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: To deploy large language models (LLMs) in high-stakes application domains that require substantively accurate responses to open-ended prompts, we need reliable, computationally inexpensive methods that assess the trustworthiness of long-form responses generated by LLMs.

NovGauge is a new benchmark designed to diagnose large language models’ ability to assess scientific paper novelty. It contains 619 paper pairs and 50 multi-paper sets, each labeled along three dimensions—task, problem, and method—by experts from ICLR reviewer overlap claims and survey co-citations. The study evaluates 18 LLMs, revealing high hallucination rates and weak evidence grounding, with the best model achieving only 43‑72% verified F1 across dimensions.
