abstract
As large language models continue to develop in the field of AI, text generation systems are susceptible to a worrisome phenomenon known as hallucination. In this study, we summarize recent compelling insights into hallucinations in LLMs. We present a novel taxonomy of hallucinations from various text generation tasks, thus provide theoretical insights, detection methods and improvement approaches. Based on this, future research directions are proposed. Our contribution are threefold: (1) We provide a detailed and complete taxonomy for hallucinations appearing in text generation tasks; (2) We provide theoretical analyses of hallucinations in LLMs and provide existing detection and improvement methods; (3) We propose several research directions that can be developed in the future. As hallucinations garner significant attention from the community, we will maintain updates on relevant research progress.

LLM judges exhibit high stability under neutral re-evaluation but substantial reversibility under targeted post-decision challenges, quantified via a new Evaluation Robustness Score (ERS).
This paper introduces a systems-level conceptual framing and a three-level taxonomy (intra-model, system-level, socio-technical) for uncertainty propagation in compound LLM applications, along with engineering insights and open challenges.
A user study with 10 security experts reveals that while large LLMs (≥70B) generate syntactically valid NIDS rules, experts deem only 37.5% deployable due to low specificity and logic hallucinations, viewing LLMs as support tools rather than autonomous rule generators.
RRCM trains an LLM to dynamically retrieve from collaborative and meta memories using group relative policy optimization driven by final top-k recommendation quality.
Trajel introduces a five-type taxonomy and benchmark for trajectory-level hallucinations in multi-agent LLM workflows, showing existing final-answer benchmarks miss common failures.
A systematic review of memory designs, evaluation methods, applications, limitations, and future directions for LLM-based agents.
