Definition
A phenomenon where an AI model, particularly in RAG systems, generates incorrect or fabricated information, often resulting from misinterpreting or failing to adequately synthesise fragmented information retrieved from chunks.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
The memex project aims to prevent this issue by leveraging large context windows that remove the need for chunking, thereby ensuring more coherent and accurate knowledge processing.
Key properties or components
- generation of incorrect information
- often linked to RAG systems
- can be caused by fragmented context or poor retrieval
