LLM document extraction techniques combat hallucination

Large language models can hallucinate by fabricating or misattributing information during document extraction, leading to errors like invented invoice totals or incorrect supplier names. To combat this, techniques include grounding extracted values to their source document location, using calibrated confidence scores that reflect empirical accuracy rather than raw model probabilities, and constraining extraction with explicit schemas to enforce data types and shapes. These methods aim to make hallucinations detectable and manageable, shifting from a risk to a reviewable task. AI
