A retrieval-augmented model can match a document without relying on it. Controlled knowledge conflicts make source choice observable and let us ask a second question that prediction alone cannot answer: which internal-state properties define useful intervention directions? We study paired hidden-state changes with Late …
Indirect prompt injection causes LLM agents to follow commands embedded in external data. A probe may distinguish instructions from data without identifying a state edit that changes the next action. We study this gap through counterfactual role probes, component-wise activation patching, and separate interventions on …
Reasoning errors can propagate into later decisions and memory. This survey synthesizes 312 papers and first-party reports on text-based reasoning hallucinations around three questions: what evidence is observable, what study designs establish, and which corrective actions the evidence supports. UIPCA records unsupport …
