Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong performance on hard reasoning and general instruction-following tasks. However, when sampling multiple outputs for the same prompt, they often produce highly homogeneous, repetitive responses, resulting in inefficient exploration. This limits the gai...

Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have achieved remarkable scalability, yet they remain vulnerable to hallucinations, particularly when processing long-tail knowledge. We identify that this fragility stems from static Top-k routing: routers tend to favor high-frequency patterns over rare fac...

Hallucination in Large Language Models (LLMs)—characterized by the generation of content inconsistent with contextual facts or logical constraints—remains a persistent challenge for reliable deployment. In this work, we address this issue through a geometric framework rooted in the linear represe...

Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently exhibit “contextual disregard” when faced with input evidence that conflicts with their internal parametric memory, leading to persistent factual hallucinations. Existing mitigation strategies primarily rely on suppressing specific neuron activations or emp...
