arXiv:2608. 08024v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can generate fluent and useful responses but remain prone to hallucinations.
The paper introduces Evidence-Aligned Entity Verification (EAEV), a method for detecting entity-level hallucinations in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). EAEV aligns generated entities with retrieved evidence across three dimensions and uses counterfactual stability analysis to maintain robust alignments when evidence changes. Experiments on multiple RAG benchmarks show that EAEV consistently outperforms existing hallucination detection methods and generalizes well.
arXiv:2605. 26366v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent studies on hallucination detection have shown that hallucination-related signals are more strongly encoded in intermediate layers than in the final layer of large language models (LLMs).
arXiv:2606. 07521v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This study investigates the phenomenon of hallucinations in domain-adapted Large Language Models (LLMs), focusing on the fine-tuning of the Llama-2 model with the Lamini dataset.
The paper proposes a hidden‑state probing method for detecting hallucinations at the span level in large language model outputs, moving beyond token‑wise binary classification. By examining layer‑wise activation patterns, the approach identifies the exact onset and continuation tokens of hallucinations, achieving higher precision‑recall AUC than random baselines despite class imbalance. Additionally, the authors introduce a cross‑model detection framework where one model observes another’s internal representations, showing that an external observer can match or surpass the generator’s own self‑detection of hallucination onsets, even when the observer is smaller.
