Hallucination Detection
Hallucination detection is a natural-language-processing pipeline that measures whether the output of a language model is consistent with a reference source document or with verifiable facts. Formalised as a faithfulness evaluation task by Maynez et al. (2020) and extended to a zero-resource black-box setting by Manakul et al. (2023) with SelfCheckGPT, the approach is used to flag unreliable LLM outputs in high-stakes domains such as medicine, law, and journalism.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
