Bounding Hallucinations in RAG Systems with Information-Theoretic Guarantees

This ArXiv paper addresses a critical challenge in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems: the tendency to hallucinate. The use of Merlin-Arthur protocols provides a novel information-theoretic approach to mitigating this issue, potentially offering more robust guarantees than current methods.

• •Focuses on improving the reliability of RAG systems by addressing the hallucination problem.
• •Employs information-theoretic techniques for providing guarantees.
• •Proposes a novel approach using Merlin-Arthur protocols.
