HD-NDEs: Neural Differential Equations for Hallucination Detection in LLMs

ACL 2025long

In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have made remarkable advancements, yet hallucination, where models produce inaccurate or non-factual statements, remains a significant challenge for real-world deployment. Although current classification-based methods, such as SAPLMA, are highly efficien…
