New framework uses expert knowledge to combat LLM hallucinations

A new research paper introduces a framework using Causal Prompt Engineering to reduce Large Language Model (LLM) hallucinations by encoding domain expert knowledge into an Expert Mental Model (EMM). This approach addresses situations where crucial information is tacit, meaning it's not documented, and current retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) methods fail. The framework formalizes prerequisite processes like factor formulation and monotonicity preservation, enabling an EMM construction algorithm that significantly reduces the complexity of eliciting expert knowledge. The method has been validated across applications in grant proposal evaluation, cybersecurity design, and clinical diagnosis. AI

IMPACT Addresses a key limitation in LLMs by enabling them to reason with tacit expert knowledge, potentially improving accuracy in critical decision-making domains.

    LLM Enhancement with Domain Expert Mental Model to Reduce LLM Hallucination with Causal Prompt Engineering

    arXiv:2509.10818v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: When consequential decisions depend on knowledge that exists nowhere in writing, LLMs hallucinate not from retrieval failure but from model absence. RAG and knowledge-graph methods share a structural ceiling. They cannot supply …
