This paper tackles the issue of hallucinations in large language models (LLMs) by exploring explicit memory mechanisms. The authors demonstrate that scaling the readout vector in a memory-augmented LLM decoder can mitigate hallucination without requiring additional training. Their geometry-inspired method outperforms a state-of-the-art editing approach on generating Wikipedia-like biography entries, achieving better quality and runtime complexity.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
Large language models have a problem: they sometimes make up things that aren’t true! This is called hallucination. To fix this, the researchers looked at how memory works in LLMs. They found that by changing one part of the model, hallucinations can be reduced without needing to train the model again. This new method is faster and better than what others have done before.
