Metric Ensembles For Hallucination Detection
Abstractive text summarization has garnered increased interest as of late, in part due to the proliferation of large language models (LLMs). One of the most pressing problems related to generation of abstractive summaries is the need to reduce "hallucinations," information that was not included in the document being summarized, and which may be wholly incorrect. Due to this need, a wide array of metrics estimating consistency with the text being summarized have been proposed. We examine in particular a suite of unsupervised metrics for summary consistency, and measure their correlations with each other and with human evaluation scores in the wiki_bio_gpt3_hallucination dataset. We then compare these evaluations to models made from a simple linear ensemble of these metrics. We find that LLM-based methods outperform other unsupervised metrics for hallucination detection. We also find that ensemble methods can improve these scores even further, provided that the metrics in the ensemble have sufficiently similar and uncorrelated error rates. Finally, we present an ensemble method for LLM-based evaluations that we show improves over this previous SOTA.

Two-Token Features and Small-Large Ensembles for VLM Hallucination Detection
We present our system for the SHROOM-Visions 2026 shared task on character-level VLM hallucination detection. A small ($4$B-parameter) VLM is fine-tuned as a per-token classifier reading a two-token feature from its own …
Hallucination Detection in LLMs: Fast and Memory-Efficient Fine-Tuned Models
Uncertainty estimation is a necessary component when implementing AI in high-risk settings, such as autonomous cars, medicine, or insurances. Large Language Models (LLMs) have seen a surge in popularity in recent years, …
GPUHallucinationA Multiple-Fill-in-the-Blank Exam Approach for Enhancing Zero-Resource Hallucination Detection in Large Language Models
Large language models (LLMs) often fabricate a hallucinatory text. Several methods have been developed to detect such text by semantically comparing it with the multiple versions probabilistically regenerated. However, a…
