This work proposes Enoki, an Open Information Extraction framework for multi-level hallucination detection that supports LLM-based, encoder-based, and rule-based extraction regimes, balancing accuracy and inference cost through a common interface.

Abstract

Ensuring factuality remains a critical challenge for deploying LLMs in high-stakes settings. Existing hallucination detectors usually operate at a single level: claim-level methods provide interpretable factual units, while span-level methods localize unsupported text. Bridging these views is costly, as LLM-heavy pipelines require multiple decomposition and verification calls, and modular systems need additional claim-to-span alignment. We propose Enoki, an Open Information Extraction framework for multi-level hallucination detection. Enoki extracts text-anchored relational facts, verifies them against evidence, and projects unsupported facts back to hallucinated spans. This shared representation enables claim-level verification and span-level localization without requiring separate alignment. Enoki supports LLM-based, encoder-based, and rule-based extraction regimes, balancing accuracy and inference cost through a common interface. Experiments show that Enoki remains competitive with strong claim-level systems while using fewer resources and achieves superior performance on fine-grained span- and entity-level localization. We also release EnokiQA, a dual-granularity dataset with aligned claim-level verification and span-level localization annotations.

Test-Time Hallucination Control in Large Vision-Language Models

Object Hallucination in large vision-language models (LVLMs), where models generate non-factual content about input images, remains a critical barrier to their reliability in real-world applications. Existing mitigation strategies can be categorized into training-based and training-free methods. Training-based methods...

RelCheck: Dual-Evidence Spatial Grounding for VLM Hallucination Correction

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) fre- quently generate text that is inconsistent with the input image. While object- and attribute-level hallucinations have received considerable attention, relational hallucinations (incorrect de- scriptions of spatial or interactive relationships between objects) remain largel...
