The increasing reliance on natural language generation (NLG) models, particularly large language models, has raised concerns about the reliability and accuracy of their outputs. A key challenge is hallucination, where models produce plausible but incorrect information. As a result, hallucination detection has become a critical task. In this work, we introduce a comprehensive hallucination taxonomy with 11 categories across various NLG tasks and propose the HAllucination Detection (HAD) models, which integrate hallucination detection, span-level identification, and correction into a single inference process. Trained on an elaborate synthetic dataset of about 90K samples, our HAD models are versatile and can be applied to various NLG tasks. We also carefully annotate a test set for hallucination detection, called HADTest, which contains 2,248 samples. Evaluations on in-domain and out-of-domain test sets show that our HAD models generally outperform the existing baselines, achieving state-of-the-art results on HaluEval, FactCHD, and FaithBench, confirming their robustness and versatility.

Recent Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have achieved significant progress yet frequently suffer from visual hallucinations, often stemming from an over-reliance on language priors rather than visual evidence. Existing decoding-based approaches often rely on input perturbations to weaken language priors, but they do not explicitly decouple visual evidence from mixed vision–language representations. To address these limitations, we propose DiVE (Decoupling intra-layer Visual Evidence). DiVE dynamically identifies layers enriched with visual information and performs intra-layer decoupling to extract aggregated visual evidence. By suppressing this evidence to construct a language-prior-dominated reference distribution, DiVE employs contrastive decoding to calibrate the output logits, thereby mitigating hallucinations. Extensive experiments across diverse LVLM architectures demonstrate that DiVE achieves state-of-the-art performance among decoding-based methods on multiple benchmarks. Crucially, it eliminates the latency of an extra forward pass, offering a lightweight and efficient solution.

Autoregressive language models are trained exclusively left-to-right. We explore the complementary factorization, training right-to-left at scale, and ask what reasoning patterns emerge when a model conditions on future context to predict the past.We train LEDOM, an open-source purely reverse autoregressive language model (2B/7B parameters, 435B tokens), and find it develops capabilities distinct from forward models, including abductive inference, question synthesis, and structural handling of the reversal curse.We then explore one application of the reverse model: combining forward likelihood P(y \mid x) with reverse posterior P(x \mid y) through noisy channel duality. We propose Reverse Reward, which reranks forward outputs using reverse posterior estimates, and prove that bidirectional scoring penalizes hallucinated reasoning chains whose backward reconstruction degrades.Reverse Reward yields gains of up to 6.6% on AIME 2024 and 15% on AMC 2023 across multiple strong baselines. We release all codes at https://github.com/Arvid-pku/LEDOM.
