Lowering the hallucination rate often comes with a higher refusal rate or more conservative answers, so real-world deployment requires a trade-off between accuracy and coverage.

UnverifiedResearch shows that hallucination rate is negatively correlated with the knowledge density of the prompt; the richer and more precise the context provided in the prompt, the lower the probability that the model will generate fabricated content.77% similarUnverifiedFor regression testing metrics, it is recommended to record exact match rate, key fact recall rate, refusal rate, and hallucination rate simultaneously; looking at multiple metrics together can avoid hidden degradation where the pass rate rises but answers become more conservative or more verbose.77% similarUnverifiedA similarity threshold that is too high may cause valid answers to be incorrectly filtered out, while one that is too low may introduce noise, requiring a trade-off between recall and precision.76% similarUnverifiedCommon techniques for mitigating hallucination include refusing to answer when uncertain, grounding answers in verifiable sources, answer verification, and lowering the sampling temperature, but none of these techniques is perfect.76% similarUnverifiedDenser relevance judgments reduce the probability that correct results retrieved by a model are mistakenly judged as irrelevant, thereby improving evaluation reliability.76% similar
