Prediction of Prediction (PoP): Inter-Layer Activation Fusion for Single-Pass Hallucination Detection in Large Language Models

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.

Attention Dispersion as a Diagnostic Signal for Hallucination in Large Language Models

The paper proposes using the temporal volatility of internal attention mechanisms—measured by an unsupervised attention dispersion metric—as a diagnostic signal for hallucinations in large language models. It demonstrates that spikes in attention entropy within intermediate layers correlate with reasoning breakdowns, and shows statistically significant AUC improvements of up to +0.076 over output-based baselines on GSM8K and MATH-500 benchmarks using the Qwen2.5 model family.
