Reducing LLM Hallucinations using Epistemic Neural Networks

2023-12-25 · Shreyas Verma, Kien Tran, Yusuf Ali, Guangyu Min

Reducing and detecting hallucinations in large language models is an open research problem. In this project, we attempt to leverage recent advances in the field of uncertainty estimation to reduce hallucinations in frozen large language models. Epistemic neural networks have recently been proposed to improve output joint distributions for large pre-trained models. ENNs are small networks attached to large, frozen models to improve the model's joint distributions and uncertainty estimates. In this work, we train an epistemic neural network on top of the Llama-2 7B model combined with a contrastive decoding feature enhancement technique. We are the first to train an ENN for the next token prediction task and explore the efficacy of this method in reducing hallucinations on the TruthfulQA dataset. In essence, we provide a method that leverages a pre-trained model's latent embeddings to reduce hallucinations.

On Epistemic Uncertainty of Visual Tokens for Object Hallucinations in Large Vision-Language Models

2025-10-10 · Hoigi Seo, Dong Un Kang, Hyunjin Cho, Joohoon Lee 외 arxiv

Large vision-language models (LVLMs), which integrate a vision encoder (VE) with a large language model, have achieved remarkable success across various tasks. However, there are still crucial challenges in LVLMs such as…

Hallucination, reliability, and the role of generative AI in science

2025-04-11 · Charles Rathkopf

Generative AI is increasingly used in scientific domains, from protein folding to climate modeling. But these models produce distinctive errors known as hallucinations - outputs that are incorrect yet superficially plaus…

From Uncertainty to Trust: Enhancing Reliability in Vision-Language Models with Uncertainty-Guided Dropout Decoding

2024-12-09 · Yixiong Fang, Ziran Yang, Zhaorun Chen, Zhuokai Zhao 외

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) demonstrate remarkable capabilities in multimodal tasks but are prone to misinterpreting visual inputs, often resulting in hallucinations and unreliable outputs. To address these chal…
