Hallucination Detection and Hallucination Mitigation: An Investigation
Junliang Luo Tianyu Li Di Wu Michael Jenkin Steve Liu Gregory Dudek
Large language models (LLMs), including ChatGPT, Bard, and Llama, have
achieved remarkable successes over the last two years in a range of different
applications. In spite of these successes, there exist concerns that limit the
wide application of LLMs. A key problem is the problem of hallucination.
Hallucination refers to the fact that in addition to correct responses, LLMs
can also generate seemingly correct but factually incorrect responses. This
report aims to present a comprehensive review of the current literature on both
hallucination detection and hallucination mitigation. We hope that this report
can serve as a good reference for both engineers and researchers who are
interested in LLMs and applying them to real world tasks.
