Papers
- Blinded by Generated Contexts: How Language Models Merge Generated and Retrieved Contexts When Knowledge Conflicts? (2024 · 37 citations)
Hybrid question-answering systems give an LLM two kinds of context: passages it wrote itself and passages retrieved from an external corpus such as Wikipedia. - Too Consistent to Detect: A Study of Self-Consistent Errors in LLMs (2025 · 12 citations)
LLM error detectors often treat agreement across sampled answers as a sign of correctness. This paper identifies a blind spot in that assumption: self-consistent errors , where a model gives the same wrong answer, up to semantic equivalence, in its greedy output and in all stochastic samples. The authors define these… - BaseCal: Unsupervised Confidence Calibration via Base Model Signals (2026 · 1 citation)
Post-trained LLMs (PoLLMs), such as instruction-tuned or RLHF-aligned models, tend to be overconfident: they assign high probability even to wrong answers, which limits the usefulness of confidence for detecting hallucinations.
