Hallucination in Neural NLG

Nov 12, 2018Nov 12, 2018 ehudreiter17 Comments

Many neural NLG systems “hallucinate” non-existent or incorrect content. This is a major problem, since such hallucination is unacceptable in many (most?) NLG use cases. Also BLEU and related metrics do not detect hallucination well, so researchers who rely on such metrics may be misled about the quality of their system.
