• Abstract summary: Hallucination is a well-known phenomenon in text generated by large language models (LLMs) We introduce a dataset, DelucionQA, that captures hallucinations made by retrieval-augmented LLMs for a domain-specific QA task. We propose a set of hallucination detection methods to serve as baselines for future works from the research community.

• Abstract: Hallucination is a well-known phenomenon in text generated by large language models (LLMs). The existence of hallucinatory responses is found in almost all application scenarios e.g., summarization, question-answering (QA) etc. For applications requiring high reliability (e.g., customer-facing assistants), the potential existence of hallucination in LLM-generated text is a critical problem. The amount of hallucination can be reduced by leveraging information retrieval to provide relevant background information to the LLM. However, LLMs can still generate hallucinatory content for various reasons (e.g., prioritizing its parametric knowledge over the context, failure to capture the relevant information from the context, etc.). Detecting hallucinations through automated methods is thus paramount. To facilitate research in this direction, we introduce a sophisticated dataset, DelucionQA, that captures hallucinations made by retrieval-augmented LLMs for a domain-specific QA task. Furthermore, we propose a set of hallucination detection methods to serve as baselines for future works from the research community. Analysis and case study are also provided to share valuable insights on hallucination phenomena in the target scenario.

  Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have shown remarkable abilities in understanding visual information with human languages. LVLMs still suffer from object hallucination, which is the problem of generating descriptions that include objects that do not actually exist in the images. We propose a powerful algorithm, LVLM Hallucination Revisor (LURE), to rectify object hallucination in LVLMs by reconstructing less hallucinatory descriptions.
