双重检查引用来源
通过对照源文档来捕获错误或幻觉产生的引用。一个 TypeSafe Choice 问题用于判断引文的上下文是否支持该声明,其置信度可用于标记该引用以供人工审查。
本文由机器翻译自 en,未经人工校对,仅供快速参考。

大语言模型(LLM)回答一个问题并附带引用:对于每个声明,引用来源文档的特定部分及其所依据的原文摘录。其中一些引用是错误的或幻觉生成的:摘录可能在文档中完全缺失,或者虽然逐字存在于文档中,但其上下文却与声明相反。
人工逐一检查效率低下:需要找到文档,在文档中找到摘录,然后阅读足够的上下文以判断其是否支持该声明。
为了自动化这一检查过程,我们首先通过普通的字符串匹配来查找缺失的摘录,然后使用 Choice 问题来阅读每个幸存摘录的上下文,并决定其是否支持该声明。

下面展示了来自大语言模型关于 RFC 7519(JSON Web Token)回答的八个引用经过检查的过程。其中四个准确的引用以 0.93 或更高的置信度返回 verified(已验证)。所有四个植入的失败案例均被捕获:一个伪造的摘录、一个被反驳的声明,以及两个未获支持的引用被发送给人类进行审查。
check_citation() 是你在此处构建的函数,它接收一个来源文档和一个引用,并返回以下四种裁决之一:verified(已验证)、unsupported(未获支持)、contradicted(被反驳)或 fabricated(伪造)。它还返回一个置信度,用于标记需要人类查看的案例。
Setup
pip install ipython "typesafe-sdk>=0.5.7" cooksafe --extra-index-url https://pypi.typesafe.ai/
然后设置 TYPESAFE_API_KEY。每次 API 调用都会缓存在 json_cache.json 中,该文件随 cookbook 一起提供,因此重新运行时会复现已发布的数值,而不是调用 API。删除该文件即可实时运行所有内容。
上述数值来自 2026-08-16 的 jev-1.12。

加载源文件和引用
源文件是 RFC 7519(JSON Web Token),
从 rfc-editor.org 获取,并与本 cookbook 一起提交为 rfc7519.txt。以下代码
会去除页眉和页脚,然后将文本拆分为带编号的章节。
citations.json 中的八个引用由 LLM 基于 RFC 编写。其中四个准确无误;我们编辑了另外四个,使其无法通过检查。
def load_source() -> str:
"""RFC 7519 verbatim, minus the page headers and footers that interrupt its paragraphs."""
lines = []
for line in Path("rfc7519.txt").read_text().splitlines():
bare = line.lstrip("\f")
if re.match(r"Jones, et al\.\s.*\[Page \d+\]$", bare):
continue
if re.match(r"RFC 7519\s+JSON Web Token \(JWT\)\s+May 2015$", bare):
continue
lines.append(bare)
return re.sub(r"\n{3,}", "\n\n", "\n".join(lines))
def split_sections(source: str) -> dict[str, str]:
"""Map each numbered section ("4.1.3") to its text, split on the RFC's header lines."""
boundary = re.compile(r"(?m)^(?:(\d+(?:\.\d+)*)\. .+|Appendix [A-Z]\..*)$")
marks = list(boundary.finditer(source))
sections = {}
for mark, nxt in zip(marks, marks[1:] + [None]):
if mark.group(1) is None: # an appendix header only terminates the section before it
continue
sections[mark.group(1)] = source[mark.start() : nxt.start() if nxt else len(source)].strip()
return sections
SOURCE = load_source()
SECTIONS = split_sections(SOURCE)
CITATIONS = json.loads(Path("citations.json").read_text())
print(f"{len(SOURCE):,} characters, {len(SECTIONS)} numbered sections, {len(CITATIONS)} citations")
print("\nA citation with a quote:")
print(json.dumps(CITATIONS[1], indent=2))
print("\nA claim-only citation:")
print(json.dumps(next(c for c in CITATIONS if c["quote"] is None), indent=2))
58,365 characters, 45 numbered sections, 8 citations
A citation with a quote:
{
"id": "aud_reject",
"claim": "If a validator does not find itself in a token's audience list, it has to reject the token.",
"quote": "If the principal processing the claim does not identify itself with a value in the \"aud\" claim when this claim is present, then the JWT MUST be rejected.",
"section": "4.1.3"
}
A claim-only citation:
{
"id": "iat_future",
"claim": "The \"iat\" claim requires validators to reject tokens whose issue time is in the future.",
"quote": null,
"section": "4.1.6"
}
在源文本中查找每条引用
如果某条引用在源文本中不存在,则说明该引用是伪造的,无需借助模型即可发现这一点。 对空白字符和弯引号进行规范化处理,使引用能够跨 RFC 的换行符正确匹配,然后将其作为子字符串进行查找。匹配结果还会指明该引用出自哪个章节,而该章节的文本即为模型在下一步中读取的内容。
引用可以仅指明某个章节,而不包含该章节中的任何具体引文。在这种情况下,没有内容可供匹配,因此直接采用引用所指定的章节,并直接进入模型处理阶段。
def normalize(text: str) -> str:
"""Collapse whitespace and fold curly quotes, so a quote matches across line wraps."""
table = str.maketrans({"“": '"', "”": '"', "‘": "'", "’": "'"})
return re.sub(r"\s+", " ", text.translate(table)).strip()
def find_quote(sections: dict[str, str], quote: str) -> str | None:
"""The number of the section that contains the quote verbatim, or None."""
needle = normalize(quote)
for number in sorted(sections, key=lambda n: [int(p) for p in n.split(".")]):
if needle in normalize(sections[number]):
return number
return None
def locate(sections: dict[str, str], citation: dict) -> tuple[str, str | None]:
"""Step 1 for one citation: a status, plus the section step 2 will read."""
if citation["quote"] is None:
return "section-only", sections[citation["section"]]
number = find_quote(sections, citation["quote"])
if number is None:
return "missing", None
return "found", sections[number]
for citation in CITATIONS:
status, section = locate(SECTIONS, citation)
where = f"section of {len(section):,} chars" if section else "not in the source"
print(f"{citation['id']:<18}{status:<14}{where}")
epoch_seconds found section of 3,122 chars
aud_reject found section of 761 chars
sig_reporting missing not in the source

pii_encryption found section of 1,653 chars
iat_future section-only section of 270 chars
duplicate_names found section of 918 chars
验证源是否支持该主张
如果此时引用仍包含原文摘录,则说明摘录与源内容逐字匹配。但这还不够:摘录可能准确,但基于摘录构建的主张仍可能是错误的。判断这一点需要结合摘录的上下文,即步骤 1 中找到的章节内容。
针对每个幸存的引用,提出一个 Choice 问题,以覆盖章节与主张之间的三种关系。概率最高的选项即为裁决结果,AUTO_ACCEPT(在上述代码中为 0.8)决定对其采取的操作:
- 置信度达到或超过 0.8:裁决结果独立成立;
- 低于 0.8:在采取任何行动之前,需由人工确认裁决结果。
从较高的阈值开始,并根据模型在你自身文档上的表现逐步降低阈值。

检查每条引用
所有八条引用均通过同一检查:
print(f"{'citation':<18}{'quote':<14}{'relation':<14}{'conf':>6} {'verdict':<13}{'action':>7}")
for citation in CITATIONS:
result = check_citation(SECTIONS, citation)
answer = result["answer"]
relation = answer["choice"] if answer else "-"
conf = f"{answer['confidence']:.2f}" if answer else "-"
action = "auto" if result["auto"] else "review"
print(
f"{result['id']:<18}{result['status']:<14}{relation:<14}{conf:>6}"
f" {result['verdict']:<13}{action:>7}"
)
citation quote relation conf verdict action
epoch_seconds found supports 0.93 verified auto
aud_reject found supports 0.95 verified auto
sig_reporting missing - - fabricated auto
clock_skew found supports 0.99 verified auto
exp_required found contradicts 0.99 contradicted auto
pii_encryption found says_nothing 0.27 unsupported review
iat_future section-only says_nothing 0.56 unsupported review
duplicate_names found supports 0.99 verified auto
四条引用返回了 verified(已验证),一条 fabricated(伪造),一条 contradicted(矛盾),还有两条 unsupported(不支持)。
epoch_seconds、aud_reject、clock_skew和duplicate_names是准确的四条。它们的置信度均达到 0.93 或更高,全部返回verified,远高于AUTO_ACCEPT阈值。sig_reporting从未到达模型。其引用的内容不在 RFC 中,因此仅凭字符串匹配就将其标记为fabricated。exp_required逐字引用了第 4.1.4 节,而该节明确指出“使用此声明是可选的(Use of this claim is OPTIONAL)”,因此判定为contradicted,置信度为 0.99。pii_encryption和iat_future分别以 0.27 和 0.56 的置信度返回unsupported,均低于阈值,因此都转交给人工审核。pii_encryption说明了仅靠字符串匹配是不够的:其引用内容在源文件中逐字存在,但来源章节并未提及该声明。
要将其指向您自己的数据,请替换 rfc7519.txt 和 citations.json。load_source() 和 split_sections() 是针对 RFC 的布局编写的,因此其他结构类型的文档需要自定义解析逻辑。
标准化后的字符串匹配是精确的:被截断或轻微改写的引用会返回 fabricated。容忍模糊引用的生产系统则需要使用模糊匹配。
