Epistemic uncertainty stems from insufficient training data and can be reduced by adding more data, while aleatoric uncertainty stems from inherent noise in the data and cannot be eliminated by adding more data.

VerifiedThe three main causes of hallucinations in large models are training data noise, the probability-first mechanism, and insufficient data timeliness.80% similarVerifiedThe probability of hallucination increases significantly when contradictory information exists in the training data or when the model is asked about domains that are sparsely represented in the training data.78% similarUnverifiedThe variance σ²(x) captures a mixture of epistemic uncertainty and aleatoric uncertainty, where the former reflects the model having seen little data and the latter reflects the inherent noise in the data itself.77% similarUnverifiedUnder the long-tail distribution of language tasks, the uncertainty-reduction gains from adding data may be far below what the 1/n intuition would suggest.76% similarUnverifiedWhen out-of-distribution (OOD) failure occurs, learned selectors may persistently ignore key evidence, resulting in answers that appear fluent but omit key facts, increasing the difficulty of troubleshooting.74% similar
