Grounding & Citation Verification
Pre-emission citation verification gatekeepers: validating sentence-to-chunk entailment, eliminating false trust, and closing the retrieval provenance loop.
Architectural Orientation
Part of the Safety & Hallucination Mitigation sub-track in Trust & Retrieval Engineering, Grounding & Citation Verification defines the critical patterns and verification criteria needed for production reliability.
Key Engineering Principles
Enforce strict input sanitization, JSON schema compliance, and post-generation guardrails to maintain system predictability.
Bind all prompt modifications to automated regression evaluation suites with quantitative threshold pass/fail assertions.
Stream token usage, p95 latency, model confidence scores, and hallucination indicators directly to enterprise OpenTelemetry collectors.
Implement streaming sentence-window buffering, cross-encoder NLI entailment checking, and automated span remediation.
