1. **[RAGTruth: A Hallucination Corpus for Developing Trustworthy Retrieval-Augmented Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/niu-2024-ragtruth-hallucination-corpus-developing-trustworthy/)** *(2024 · 207 citations)* Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is meant to keep large language models anchored to supplied sources, yet models still produce claims that the retrieved material does not support or that contradict it.
2. **[Prolonged Reasoning Is Not All You Need: Certainty-Based Adaptive Routing for Efficient LLM/MLLM Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lu-2025-prolonged-reasoning-all-need-certainty/)** *(2025 · 11 citations)* Reasoning-tuned LLMs and MLLMs tend to produce long chain-of-thought output for every query. This costs many tokens and can even hurt accuracy on easy, fact-based questions. A pilot with Qwen2.5-0.5B on text-rich VQA and KIE data showed that direct answers were both more accurate and far cheaper than reasoning-based…
