Show HN: VerusCite, a tool to check for hallucinations in academic articles Hello HackerNews -- I have created an application that verifies citations. Main motivation is to make checking for hallucinated citations in academic papers simpler/faster. Can sign up for the tool at < https://veruscite-data.com/ >, and can see the benchmark for metrics and some description of the methodology at < https://github.com/apwheele/veruscite-data >. If you want to check out the approximate UI without signing up (at least the output), can see some examples: https://ift.tt/Lxn0fVB... https://ift.tt/gvek80R... https://ift.tt/TVrx4sE... There are many minor errors in citation lists (maybe on the order of 5%). So even if you were not worried about hallucinations, it is useful for editors. If you sign up I have attempted to make the UI as easy as possible for a human to review the output and make changes (there are definitely errors, see the github for estimates of error rates). So let me know what you think HN! https://ift.tt/uf8j0Ph August 4, 2026 at 11:00PM
