In this work, we show the pre-trained language models return distinguishable generation probability and uncertainty distribution to unfaithfully hallucinated texts, regardless of their size and structure. By examining 24 models on 6 data sets, we find out that 88-98% of cases return statistically significantly distinguishable generation probability and uncertainty distributions. Using this general phenomenon, we showcase a hallucination-reducing training algorithm. Our algorithm outperforms other baselines by achieving higher faithfulness metrics while maintaining sound general text quality measures.

  1. Detecting Spelling and Grammatical Anomalies in Russian Poetry Texts

    cs.CL 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new Russian poetry dataset and benchmark show that supervised classifiers trained on synthetic distortions detect grammatical defects (F0.5=0.86) while unsupervised and zero-shot methods perform near random.
