DECK: A Consistency x Confidence Taxonomy of LLM Hallucinations

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2606.02289v1 Announce Type: new Existing hallucination taxonomies classify LLM errors by what is wrong with the output -- memorised misconceptions, reasoning failures, fluent fabrications. These taxonomies are useful for diagnosis but cannot answer a different question: which uncertainty scorer would have caught this error? We propose a complementary taxonomy that classifies errors by their detectability signature -- the signal a scorer family would read.
