Without an overall plan, they fall into aimless trial-and-error and produce hallucinated actions. Prior fixes either teach planning implicitly via SFT or RL on the executor, which needs lots of data or converges slowly, or supply explicit guidance that depends… 6. **[FaithLens: Detecting and Explaining Faithfulness Hallucination](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/si-2026-faithlens-detecting-explaining-faithfulness-hallucination/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* LLMs often produce claims that contradict, distort, or go beyond the context they were given. This faithfulness hallucination is a problem for RAG and summarization. Current detectors are either expensive prompted LLMs or compact classifiers that return only a binary label, give no reasoning, and generalize unevenly… ## All works 7 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 6 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[An Image is Worth 1/2 Tokens After Layer 2: Plug-and-Play Inference Acceleration for Large Vision-Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/chen-2024-image-worth-1-2-tokens/) [Lecture notes in computer science](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lecture-notes-in-computer-science/)**Liang Chen, Haozhe Zhao, Tianyu Liu, et al.*2024 · 279 citations* 2.
