New arXiv Study Links LLM Faithfulness to Input Data Plausibility
A newly posted computational linguistics paper examines whether large language models become less faithful to a provided context when the input data seems implausible. The authors analyse how a model's tendency to hallucinate or misinterpret facts varies with the plausibility of what it is given, a question with direct consequences for retrieval-augmented generation and data-to-text systems. The work seeks to clarify when models follow supplied evidence versus falling back on their own priors.
