Larger LLMs hallucinate more often despite having the correct concept available because instruction tuning causes probability mass to disperse across alternative surface forms instead of concentrating on one.
The paper introduces the Construct Validity Protocol to validate semantic embeddings for social constructs and proposes Counterfactual Neutralization using LLMs to reduce confounding.
