Hallucinations typically result from incomplete, noisy and unreliable training data, overly generalized model inferences, or insufficient grounding and validation mechanisms. Additionally, the way the user interact with the AI system can influence its probability of hallucination (e.g. confidence, question framing). -#### Test Objectives +### Test Objectives Hallucination can be measured considering multiple dimensions.
