HALLUCINATION EXTRINSEQUE [1 record]

Record 1 2026-03-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

... extrinsic hallucinations involve outputs that cannot be verified using the provided source context or external knowledge bases. This means the generated text is neither supported by nor directly contradicts the available information, rendering the output unverifiable and potentially misleading.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

[...] deux types d'hallucinations sont évoquées, les hallucinations intrinsèques définies comme des mots ou groupes de mots du résumé qui sont tirés du document, mais qui ne sont pas déductibles, et les hallucinations extrinsèques qui introduisent des informations hors document. Alors que les hallucinations intrinsèques peuvent générer des contresens et être considérées comme des erreurs, les hallucinations extrinsèques sont souvent des abstractions ou introductions d'informations dont on ne peut directement vérifier la factualité qu'à partir d'une connaissance générale dépassant le document à résumer.
