Combatting AI Hallucinations Through Neuro-Symbolic Methods

Enhancing LLM reliability using ontological reasoning

This research introduces a hybrid approach combining neural networks with symbolic reasoning to address a critical LLM limitation: hallucinations.

  • Integrates OWL ontologies with symbolic reasoners to verify factual consistency
  • Creates a technical pipeline that filters LLM outputs through formal knowledge structures
  • Significantly improves reliability in domains requiring factual accuracy
  • Demonstrates how engineering disciplines can combine deep learning with traditional logical systems

For engineering applications, this approach offers a practical method to implement LLMs in high-stakes environments where factual errors could have serious consequences.
