Despite their widespread use, Large Language Models (LLMs) remain limited by a fundamental problem: the generation of plausible but false content, known as hallucinations. Most existing detection methods operate at the answer or sentence level, yet per-token detection is essential for localizing hallucinated spans and enabling fine-grained interventions.

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.
arXiv:2607. 22661v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion large language models (D-LLMs) have recently gained increasing attention, yet their reliability is significantly hindered by the hallucination problem.
