Overview

Project Aletheia examines LLM hallucination through physics laws, revealing significant suppression of factual information.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the phenomenon of hallucination in language models using principles from condensed matter physics.
  • Conducted a 58-phase investigation into LLM hallucination using GPT-2 as a particle accelerator.
  • Established seven laws and three theorems related to hallucination and information suppression.
  • Utilized various internal correction methods and analyzed suppression rates across multiple prompts.
  • Facts are systematically suppressed by 70% in final layers, with an average rank degradation of 1,592 positions.
  • Achieved a 4× improvement in truth extraction from 10% to 40% using Logit Lens.
  • Universal suppression rate of 63% across prompts, with geography suppression at 88% and history at 80%.
