• Abstract: Generative models such as large language models are extensively used as code copilots and for whole program generation. However, the programs they generate often have questionable correctness, authenticity and reliability in terms of integration as they might not follow the user requirements, provide incorrect and/or nonsensical outputs, or even contain semantic/syntactic errors - overall known as LLM hallucination. In this work, we present several types of code hallucination. We have generated such hallucinated code manually using large language models. We also present a technique - HallTrigger, in order to demonstrate efficient ways of generating arbitrary code hallucination. Our method leverages 3 different dynamic attributes of LLMs to craft prompts that can successfully trigger hallucinations from models without the need to access model architecture or parameters. Results from popular blackbox models suggest that HallTrigger is indeed effective and the pervasive LLM hallucination have sheer impact on software development.

  We introduce Collu-Bench, a benchmark for predicting code hallucinations of large language models (LLMs) Collu-Bench includes 13,234 code hallucination instances collected from five datasets and 11 diverse LLMs, ranging from open-source models to commercial ones. We conduct experiments to predict hallucination on Collu-Bench, using both traditional machine learning techniques and neural networks, which achieves 22.03 -- 33.15% accuracy.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) produce outputs that deviate from users' intent, exhibit internal inconsistencies, or misalign with factual knowledge. Existing work mainly focuses on investing the hallucination in the domain of natural language generation. We conduct a thematic analysis of the LLM-generated code to summarize and categorize the hallucinations present in it. We propose HalluCode, a benchmark for evaluating the performance of code LLMs in recognizing hallucinations.
