Mixture-of-Expert Blocks Contain Strong Hallucination Detection Signals· MoE 模块包含强幻觉检测信号
Despite their widespread use, Large Language Models (LLMs) remain limited by a fundamental problem: the generation of plausible but false content, known as hallucinations. Most existing detection methods operate at the answer or sentence level, yet per-token detection is essential for localizing hallucinated spans and enabling fine-grained interventions. In this paper, we explore the use of the Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) paradigm to address this gap. In MoE architectures, a single forward pass activates a sparse subset of experts (i.e., distinct feedforward networks per layer) via a routing mechanism, producing internal signals (e.g., router entropy, expert disagreement, and expert usage patterns) that are unavailable in dense architectures and have not been previously exploited for hallucin
