SeSE: A Structural Information-Guided Uncertainty Quantification Framework for Hallucination Detection in LLMs
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
- A new framework called Semantic Structural Entropy (SeSE) has been introduced to enhance uncertainty quantification (UQ) in large language models (LLMs), aiming to improve hallucination detection by leveraging structural semantic information. This zero-resource approach is applicable to both open- and closed-source LLMs, providing a versatile solution for various models and tasks.
- The development of SeSE is significant as it addresses the critical need for reliable UQ in safety-sensitive applications, allowing LLMs to refrain from generating potentially harmful misinformation when uncertain. This advancement could lead to safer deployments of AI technologies in various sectors.
- The introduction of SeSE aligns with ongoing efforts to mitigate hallucinations in LLMs, a challenge that has garnered attention across the AI community. Various approaches, including metrics for assessing factual consistency and methods to enhance multimodal LLMs, reflect a broader commitment to improving the reliability and accuracy of AI-generated content.
