Why every AI-drafted sentence needs three receipts

By the end you can

  • Explain hallucination in plain terms.
  • Describe the three checks a sentence must pass in Bids2Bank.

A survey of the research puts the problem plainly: deep learning based text generation is prone to hallucinate unintended text, which degrades system performance and fails to meet user expectations in many real-world scenarios 1.

In this course, "hallucination" means a generated sentence that its source does not support. In a proposal, such a sentence is a claim your company did not earn.

Bids2Bank runs three gates on every drafted sentence. Retrieval asks whether evidence close enough to the claim exists, with a similarity threshold of 0.70 2. Citation asks whether that evidence actually states the claim 3. Entailment asks whether the claim is logically supported, with a threshold of 0.80 4.

Check 1
Which Bids2Bank gate asks whether the evidence actually states the claim?
Use the same three questions on any AI draft, whatever tool wrote it: is there a source, does it say this, does it support this?
Check 2
What does the survey by Ji et al. say about deep learning based text generation?
