Evidence Graph Consistency in Retrieval-Augmented Generation: A Model-Dependent Analysis of Hallucination Detection

Researchers propose Evidence Graph Consistency (EGC), a framework to detect hallucinations in Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems by analyzing structural relationships among evidence pieces. Testing across six LLMs reveals a critical finding: the method works as expected for Llama-2 but shows reversed diagnostic signals for GPT-4, GPT-3.5, and Mistral-7B, suggesting hallucination patterns differ fundamentally across model families.
