Slide 1: Understanding Intrinsic Hallucinations in LLMs
Neural networks often exhibit intrinsic hallucinations due to knowledge gaps in their training data. We can simulate this behavior by creating a simplified neural network that demonstrates how confidence scores may not correlate with factual accuracy.
import numpy as np
class SimpleHallucinationDetector:
def __init__(self, knowledge_base):
self.knowledge = knowledge_base
self.confidence_threshold = 0.8
def query(self, input_query):
# Simulate knowledge retrieval with random confidence
confidence = np.random.random()
if input_query in self.knowledge:
response = self.knowledge[input_query]
is_hallucination = False
else:
# Generate synthetic response for unknown queries
response = f"Synthetic answer for {input_query}"
is_hallucination = True
return {
'response': response,
'confidence': confidence,
'is_hallucination': is_hallucination
}
# Example usage
knowledge_base = {
'capital of France': 'Paris',
'largest planet': 'Jupiter'
}
detector = SimpleHallucinationDetector(knowledge_base)
print(detector.query('capital of France'))
print(detector.query('unknown topic'))Slide 2: Extrinsic Hallucination Detection System
This implementation demonstrates how external hallucinations occur when models misinterpret input prompts. The system uses pattern matching and semantic similarity to identify potential hallucinations in model responses.

self.context_vectors = self.vectorizer.fit_transform(context_documents)
def check_hallucination(self, response, threshold=0.3):
response_vector = self.vectorizer.transform([response])
similarities = cosine_similarity(response_vector, self.context_vectors)
max_similarity = np.max(similarities)
return {
'is_hallucination': max_similarity < threshold,
'confidence_score': max_similarity,

}
# Example usage
context = [
"AI models process data using neural networks",
"Machine learning requires training data",

]
detector = ExtrinsicHallucinationDetector()
detector.train(context)
test_response = "AI models use quantum computing for training"
print(detector.check_hallucination(test_response))Slide 3: Amalgamated Hallucination Analysis

# Simulate fact validation using random weights
return np.random.random()
def analyze_statement(self, statement: str) -> Dict:
# Simplified analysis of combined facts
validity_score = np.random.random()
is_amalgamated = validity_score < 0.5
return {
'statement': statement,
'validity_score': validity_score,
'is_amalgamated_hallucination': is_amalgamated,
'confidence': 1 - validity_score if is_amalgamated else validity_score
}
# Example usage
facts_db = {
