🎯Core Definition

Citation Grounding & Faithfulness Verification is a post-processing and evaluation pipeline that enforces fine-grained factual attribution, reference citation linking, and hallucination pruning on RAG-generated text; decomposing the response into atomic factual claims, it applies Natural Language Inference (NLI) models to evaluate claim entailment (`Entailment`, `Neutral`, `Contradiction`) against source passages, inserting verifiable citations (`[1]`, `[Doc-3]`) while pruning ungrounded claims.

💡Use Cases

High-stakes RAG applications (legal research, medical decision support, regulatory compliance audits) with zero tolerance for ungrounded hallucination.

⚡Key Problems Solved

Base LLMs frequently hallucinate fake citation brackets or misattribute claims to unrelated passages; automated grounding verification algorithmically validates attribution faithfulness before presenting responses to users.
