Self-Alignment for Factuality: Mitigating Hallucinations in LLMs via Self-Evaluation

Xiaoying Zhang, Baolin Peng, Ye Tian +5

Despite showing increasingly human-like abilities, large language models (LLMs) often struggle with factual inaccuracies, i.e. "hallucinations", even when they hold relevant knowle…

Inconsistent dialogue responses and how to recover from them

Mian Zhang, Lifeng Jin, Linfeng Song +2

One critical issue for chat systems is to stay consistent about preferences, opinions, beliefs and facts of itself, which has been shown a difficult problem. In this work, we study…
