Beyond Next Token Probabilities: Learnable, Fast Detection of Hallucinations and Data Contamination on LLM Output Distributions

AAAI 2026technical

The automated detection of hallucinations and training data contamination is pivotal to the safe deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs). These tasks are particularly challenging in settings where no access to model internals is available. Current approaches in this setup typically leverage only

Neural Message-Passing on Attention Graphs for Hallucination Detection

ICLR 2026poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) often generate incorrect or unsupported content, known as hallucinations. Existing detection methods rely on heuristics or simple models over isolated computational traces such as activations, or attention maps. We unify these signals by representing them as attributed g…

On The Expressive Power of GNN Derivatives

ICLR 2026poster

Despite significant advances in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), their limited expressivity remains a fundamental challenge. Research on GNN expressivity has produced many expressive architectures, leading to architecture hierarchies with models of increasing expressive power. Separately, derivatives o…

Balancing Efficiency and Expressiveness: Subgraph GNNs with Walk-Based Centrality

ICML 2025poster

Subgraph GNNs have emerged as promising architectures that overcome the expressiveness limitations of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) by processing bags of subgraphs. Despite their compelling empirical performance, these methods are afflicted by a high computational complexity: they process bags whose…

Beyond Token Probes: Hallucination Detection via Activation Tensors with ACT-ViT

NeurIPS 2025poster

Detecting hallucinations in Large Language Model-generated text is crucial for their safe deployment. While probing classifiers show promise, they operate on isolated layer–token pairs and are LLM-specific, limiting their effectiveness and hindering cross-LLM applications. In this paper, we introduc…

A Flexible, Equivariant Framework for Subgraph GNNs via Graph Products and Graph Coarsening

NeurIPS 2024poster

Subgraph GNNs enhance message-passing GNNs expressivity by representing graphs as sets of subgraphs, demonstrating impressive performance across various tasks. However, their scalability is hindered by the need to process large numbers of subgraphs. While previous approaches attempted to generate sm…

Graph Neural Networks for Link Prediction with Subgraph Sketching

ICLR 2023top-5%

Many Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) perform poorly compared to simple heuristics on Link Prediction (LP) tasks. This is due to limitations in expressive power such as the inability to count triangles (the backbone of most LP heuristics) and because they can not distinguish automorphic nodes (those hav…

Graph Positional Encoding via Random Feature Propagation

ICML 2023poster

Two main families of node feature augmentation schemes have been explored for enhancing GNNs: random features and spectral positional encoding. Surprisingly, however, there is still no clear understanding of the relation between these two augmentation schemes. Here we propose a novel family of posit…

Equivariant Subgraph Aggregation Networks

ICLR 2022spotlight

Message-passing neural networks (MPNNs) are the leading architecture for deep learning on graph-structured data, in large part due to their simplicity and scalability. Unfortunately, it was shown that these architectures are limited in their expressive power. This paper proposes a novel framework ca…

Understanding and Extending Subgraph GNNs by Rethinking Their Symmetries

NeurIPS 2022accept

Subgraph GNNs are a recent class of expressive Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) which model graphs as collections of subgraphs. So far, the design space of possible Subgraph GNN architectures as well as their basic theoretical properties are still largely unexplored. In this paper, we study the most pro…

Weisfeiler and Lehman Go Cellular: CW Networks

NeurIPS 2021poster

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are limited in their expressive power, struggle with long-range interactions and lack a principled way to model higher-order structures. These problems can be attributed to the strong coupling between the computational graph and the input graph structure. The recently pr…

The pairwise interaction paradigm of graph machine learning has predominantly governed the modelling of relational systems. However, graphs alone cannot capture the multi-level interactions present in many complex systems and the expressive power of such schemes was proven to be limited. To overcome…
