LLM Hallucination Detection System

An LLM Hallucination Detection System is a content verification system that identifies factual inaccuracys and confabulated information in large language model outputs through ground truth comparison and consistency checking.

• AKA: LLM Factuality Checker, Hallucination Detection Framework, LLM Truthfulness Verifier, Factual Accuracy System, Confabulation Detection System, LLM Output Validation System.
• Context:
  • It can detect Factual Hallucinations through knowledge base verification and fact checking algorithms.
  • It can identify Logical Inconsistencys using reasoning chain analysis and contradiction detection.
  • It can measure Semantic Drift between input context and generated output via embedding similarity.
  • It can validate Citation Accuracy by checking source references and attribution claims.
  • It can assess Temporal Consistency through date verification and timeline analysis.
  • It can detect Entity Hallucinations by validating named entitys against knowledge graphs.
  • It can evaluate Numerical Accuracy through calculation verification and statistical checks.
  • It can identify Contextual Hallucinations where output contradicts provided context.
  • It can implement Confidence Scoring to quantify hallucination probability and uncertainty levels.
  • It can support Multi-Source Verification using external APIs and reference datasets.
  • It can provide Hallucination Reports with error categorization and correction suggestions.
  • It can integrate with RAG Systems to validate retrieval accuracy and generation fidelity.
  • It can typically detect 85-95% of factual errors in benchmark datasets.
  • It can range from being a Rule-Based Hallucination Detector to being an ML-Based Hallucination System, depending on its detection method.
  • It can range from being a Domain-Specific Hallucination Checker to being a General-Purpose Hallucination Detector, depending on its knowledge scope.
  • It can range from being a Real-Time Hallucination Monitor to being a Batch Hallucination Analyzer, depending on its processing mode.
  • It can range from being a Binary Hallucination Classifier to being a Granular Hallucination Analyzer, depending on its output detail.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Research Hallucination Detection Systems, such as:
    • FACTOR Framework, which uses multi-factor verification for factual accuracy.
    • SelfCheckGPT, which employs self-consistency checking without external knowledge.
    • RefChecker, which validates reference accuracy in academic contexts.
  • Commercial Hallucination Detection Platforms, such as:
    • Galileo Hallucination Index, which provides enterprise-grade detection.
    • Arize Phoenix Hallucination Detector, which offers RAG-specific validation.
    • WhyLabs LangKit, which delivers statistical monitoring.
  • Open-Source Hallucination Detection Tools, such as:
    • HaluEval, which provides benchmark datasets and evaluation metrics.
    • FactScore, which measures atomic fact accuracy.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Grammar Checkers, which validate syntax but not factual accuracy.
  • Plagiarism Detectors, which check text similarity but not truthfulness.
  • Sentiment Analyzers, which assess emotional tone but not factual content.
