SIRIN: A Unified Toolkit for Detecting Contextual Hallucinations in Retrieval-Augmented and Memory-Grounded LLM Systems

SIRIN (Semantic Inconsistency Recognition and Inspection Nexus) is a unified toolkit and interactive web UI for detecting contextual hallucinations (fluent, plausible responses unsupported by the provided evidence) in retrieval-augmented, agentic, and memory-grounded LLM systems. SIRIN unifies three detector paradigms (representation probing, uncertainty estimation, and judge-style verification) and the complementary task of pre-generation query answerability under one interface, configuration system, and evaluation pipeline, supporting response- and span-level inspection in both white-box and black-box settings. The web UI enables live analysis of user-supplied context-query-answer triples through hallucination scores, unsupported-span highlighting, and side-by-side detector comparison, with a lightweight plug-in design for adding new detectors. We demonstrate SIRIN on hallucination detection, query answerability, and as a faithfulness gate within long-term memory systems. The source code is publicly available at https://github.com/sb-ai-lab/SIRIN.

Managing Procedural Memory in LLM Agents: Control, Adaptation, and Evaluation

Procedural memory is increasingly used to improve LLM agents on recurring workplace tasks, yet its ability to produce reusable skills remains poorly understood. We introduce AFTER, a benchmark of 382 realistic enterprise tasks spanning six professional roles and 22 procedural skills, designed to evaluate how skills transfer across tasks, roles, and model backbones. The benchmark includes controlled evaluation settings for local improvement, cross-task transfer, cross-role transfer, and cross-model generalization. Experiments show that procedural memory delivers consistent gains in industrial workflows: a single refinement round improves aggregate performance by 3.7-6.7 points, while skills evolved from diverse multi-model execution traces achieve 73.1% cross-model test accuracy, outperforming all single-model trace sources. We further find that some skills generalize broadly across tasks and models, whereas others become specialized to role-specific workflows and lose effectiveness under transfer. These results provide practical guidance for building, evaluating, and deploying procedural memory systems in production agent platforms.

Data-efficient Meta-models for Evaluation of Context-based Questions and Answers in LLMs

Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems are increasingly deployed in industry applications, yet their reliability remains hampered by challenges in detecting hallucinations. While supervised state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods that leverage LLM hidden states -- such as activation tracing and representation analysis -- show promise, their dependence on extensively annotated datasets limits scalability in real-world applications. This paper addresses the critical bottleneck of data annotation by investigating the feasibility of reducing training data requirements for two SOTA hallucination detection frameworks: Lookback Lens, which analyzes attention head dynamics, and probing-based approaches, which decode internal model representations. We propose a methodology combining efficient classification algorithms with dimensionality reduction techniques to minimize sample size demands while maintaining competitive performance. Evaluations on standardized question-answering RAG benchmarks show that our approach achieves performance comparable to strong proprietary LLM-based baselines with only 250 training samples. These results highlight the potential of lightweight, data-efficient paradigms for industrial deployment, particularly in annotation-constrained scenarios.

Hallucination Detection in LLMs with Topological Divergence on Attention Graphs

Hallucination, i.e., generating factually incorrect content, remains a critical challenge for large language models (LLMs). We introduce TOHA, a TOpology-based HAllucination detector in the RAG setting, which leverages a topological divergence metric to quantify the structural properties of graphs induced by attention matrices. Examining the topological divergence between prompt and response subgraphs reveals consistent patterns: higher divergence values in specific attention heads correlate with hallucinated outputs, independent of the dataset. Extensive experiments - including evaluation on question answering and summarization tasks - show that our approach achieves state-of-the-art or competitive results on several benchmarks while requiring minimal annotated data and computational resources. Our findings suggest that analyzing the topological structure of attention matrices can serve as an efficient and robust indicator of factual reliability in LLMs.
