Who's Adam? Benchmarking Hallucinations in Scientific Dialogue

Large language models (LLMs) and large multimodal models (LMMs) are increasingly applied in scientific dialogue, but it remains unclear whether they can reliably ground specific dialogue statements to paper-based evidence. A central challenge is paper-grounded hallucination under a paper-as-truth setting: statements th...

Training-free counterfactual hallucination mitigation method for large vision-language models

This work proposes CounterfactualLVLM, a training-free and plug-and-play framework that mitigates object hallucinations via small-model-assisted counterfactual reasoning and highlights the power of counterfactual guidance as a simple yet effective paradigm for enhancing factual grounding in LVLM-based multi-modal reaso...

Catching Hallucinated Citations in Video-LLM Question Answering: A Self-Verification Pipeline and Verifier Ablation Study

Video question answering systems built on vision-language models often produce timestamped claims with high confidence even when unsupported by the cited frame. This deceptive hallucination arises because timestamps imply grounding without ensuring correctness, increasing user trust but not accuracy. We introduce a pip...

Confidently Wrong: Detecting Hallucinations in Financial Question Answering from LLM Internal States

Probing can be a cost-effective triage mechanism for routing LLM answers to human review and quality control procedures in high-stakes financial applications and shows that among confident answers, those for which all eight resamples agree, 15-23% are wrong on FinQA.

Decomposed Entailment for Factuality Checking and Hallucination Detection

HallDetect, a lightweight, reference-free, and black-box framework for hallucination detection, is presented, a lightweight, reference-free, and black-box framework for hallucination detection that is evaluated not only on summarization but across a broader range of source-grounded generation settings.

Towards Trustworthy Large Language Models

An integrated conceptual frame-work that couples attention- and perturbation-based explainability with lightweight hallucination-detection signals and token-efficient inference strategies is presented, and a set of cross-cutting consistency metrics are instrumented with a set of cross-cutting consistency metrics.
