Chain-based Adaptive Reconfiguration Over Lattices for Hallucination Reduction

Joan Vendrell Gallart, Solmaz Kia, Russell Bent +1

We introduce CAROL (Chain-based Adaptive Reconfiguration Over Lattices), a probabilistic framework for test-time hallucination reduction in large language models. Rather than relyi…
