Title: Evaluating Hallucinations in Domain-Adapted Large Language Models

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.07521v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This study investigates the phenomenon of hallucinations in domain-adapted Large Language Models (LLMs), focusing on the fine-tuning of the Llama-2 model with the Lamini dataset. Hallucinations, or the generation of nonsensical or unfaithful content by LLMs, pose a significant challenge, especially when these models are fine-tuned with domain-specific data. Our methodology involves a series of experiments testing memorization, recall, and reasoni
