Proceedings of the 19th International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation (SemEval-2025)

Hallucinations pose a significant challenge for large language models when answering knowledge-intensive queries. As LLMs become more widely adopted, it is crucial not only to detect if hallucinations occur but also to pinpoint where they arise. SemEval 2025 Task 3, Mu-SHROOM: Multilingual Shared-task on Hallucinations and Related Observable Overgeneration Mistakes, is a recent effort in this direction. This paper describes our solution to the shared task. We propose a framework that first retrieves relevant context, next identifies false content from the answer, and finally maps them back to spans. The process is further enhanced by automatically optimizing prompts. Our system achieves the highest overall performance, ranking #1 in average position across all languages.
