Accuracy and componentwise accuracy in multilinear PageRank
We study the stability with respect to perturbations and the accuracy of numerical algorithms for computing solutions to the multilinear PageRank problem $\mathbf{x} = (1-α)\mathbf{v} + α\mathcal{P} \mathbf{x}^2$. Our results reveal that the solution can be more stable with respect to perturbations and numerical errors with respect to the classical bounds for nonlinear systems of equations (based on the norm of the Jacobian). In detail, one can obtain bounds for the minimal solution which ign…

AggTruth: Contextual Hallucination Detection using Aggregated Attention Scores in LLMs
In real-world applications, Large Language Models (LLMs) often hallucinate, even in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) settings, which poses a significant challenge to their deployment. In this paper, we introduce AggTruth, a method for online detection of contextual hallucinations by analyzing the distribution of internal attention scores in the provided context (passage). Specifically, we propose four different variants of the method, each varying in the aggregation technique used to calcul…

Aggregated Individual Reporting for Post-Deployment Evaluation
The need for developing model evaluations beyond static benchmarking, especially in the post-deployment phase, is now well-understood. At the same time, concerns about the concentration of power in deployed AI systems have sparked a keen interest in 'democratic' or 'public' AI. In this work, we bring these two ideas together by proposing mechanisms for aggregated individual reporting (AIR), a framework for post-deployment evaluation that relies on individual reports from the public. An AIR mech…
