D-Score: A Spectral Hidden-State Signal for Hallucination Detection in Large Language Models
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read
In 30 seconds
- What happened
- Researchers introduced D-Score, a spectral method to detect hallucinations in large language models by analyzing hidden activation patterns from a single forward pass.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building LLM applications who need hallucination detection without external verifiers, retrieval systems, or multiple model generations.
- Watch out
- Paper is under review and not yet peer-reviewed. Evaluation limited to two datasets. Requires per-model and per-layer calibration with tolerance parameters.
