  1. A Survey on Hallucination in Large Language Models: Principles, Taxonomy, Challenges, and Open Questions (2023 · 3,231 citations)
    Large language models often produce fluent, convincing text that is not supported by facts or by the input they were given.
  2. Improving Contextual Faithfulness of Large Language Models via Retrieval Heads-Induced Optimization (2025 · 11 citations)
    The paper addresses faithfulness hallucination in retrieval-augmented long-form question answering (LFQA), where a model writes paragraph-length answers containing claims that the retrieved documents do not support or that contradict them.
  3. x1: Learning to Think Adaptively Across Languages and Cultures (2026 · 1 citation)
    Most reasoning LLMs think mainly in one dominant language, usually English, even when a question is posed in another language or depends on a specific culture.
  4. Adaptive Backtracking for Privacy Protection in Large Language Models (2026)
    In retrieval-augmented generation, attackers can write prompts that make an LLM reveal private details from the documents it retrieves.
  5. Fine-Mem: Fine-Grained Feedback Alignment for Long-Horizon Memory Management (2026)
    LLM agents working on long-horizon tasks need a memory system that turns a stream of incoming text chunks into a compact, usable store.
  6. ImplicitMemBench: Measuring Unconscious Behavioral Adaptation in Large Language Models (2026)
    Existing memory benchmarks for LLM agents, such as LoCoMo, LongMemEval and MemoryAgentBench, test whether a model can deliberately retrieve stored facts when asked.
