Single-Pass Uncertainty Heads for Claim-Level Hallucination Detection in Persian Medical Language Models

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.03482v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hallucination detection is particularly important for medical language models, but repeated-sampling approaches are expensive and existing uncertainty-head resources do not directly transfer to a new backbone and language. We adapt the LLM Uncertainty Head (LUH) framework to Aya-Expanse-8B-based Persian medical models, using Gaokerena-V and Gaokerena-R as two previously developed backbones. We first examine response variability on a 168-question Iranian medical entrance examination and observe substantially lower five-run consistency for Gaokerena-V than for Aya-Expanse-8B, whereas Gaokerena-R is comparable to Aya-Expanse-8B. We then construct two paired claim-level hallucination datasets directly in Persian, containing 1,600 responses for ea
