Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Fix Hallucinations in RAG Answers. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Problem

Scenario

Your RAG system is retrieving the right documents, but the model still produces confident answers that are not supported by those documents. You need a plan to reduce hallucinations without making the system uselessly conservative.

Question

What would you change across prompting, generation, verification, and evaluation to make the answers more faithful to the retrieved context?

What This Tests

  • RAG failure analysis after retrieval is already working
  • Hallucination reduction through prompting and verification
  • LLM evaluation design for faithfulness and abstention
  • Prompt injection handling in retrieved documents
