LLMs and Factuality
This lecture focuses on the workflows for using LLMs as information sources, the types of problems that may result from that, and the main current mitigation strategies (retrieval-augmented generation and chain-of-thought reasoning). Finally, I will discuss the problem of detecting generated texts, and the impact of LLMs on the information ecosphere and content economy.
