The paper introduces a token‑level hallucination detector that treats hallucinations as temporally extended spans and uses sequence labeling. It fuses 33‑dimensional features from text statistics, NLI entailment, and language‑model surprisal, and applies a BiGRU to achieve an AUC of 0.840 on RAGTruth, outperforming a logistic‑regression baseline by 11 points. The study shows that temporal ordering of features, rather than model capacity, drives most of the performance gain, and the detector remains effective on unseen language models with less than 4% AUC loss.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across diverse tasks, yet they remain prone to generating hallucinations. Detecting these hallucinations is critical for deploying LLMs reliably in high-stakes applications.

The paper introduces Prediction of Prediction (PoP), a method that fuses intermediate hidden representations across transformer layers during a single forward pass to detect hallucinations in large language models. PoP leverages internal hidden‑state transition dynamics to signal factual errors without extra decoding steps, achieving a 75.5% AUROC on the TruthfulQA benchmark with less than 1.2% added latency.
