Hallucination in large language models (LLMs) remains a critical barrier to reliable deployment in high-stakes applications. This survey systematically analyzes 15 peer-reviewed papers on hallucination detection and mitigation, organizing techniques into a comprehensive taxonomy.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized natural language processing, demonstrating remarkable capabilities in generation, reasoning, and knowledge-intensive tasks. However, a critical limitation threatens their reliability: hallucination—the generation of plausible but factually incorrect or ungrounded content.
