This paper presents a novel approach to generating synthetic datasets for hallucination detection, a crucial task in natural language processing. The proposed method involves a two-step pipeline that combines hallucination pattern guidance with language style alignment during generation. This allows for the creation of synthetic datasets that mimic real-world text, which can then be used to train robust supervised detectors. Experimental results on three datasets show that the generated hallucination text is more closely aligned with non-hallucinated text, outperforming baseline methods by a significant margin.

Hallucination detection is an important task in natural language processing. This paper shows how to make fake data that can help machines learn to spot when someone is making something up. The approach uses two steps: it looks at what makes things sound like they’re not real, and then makes the fake data sound like real text. This helps train machines to be better at spotting made-up stuff. In tests, this method did a lot better than other ways of doing things.
