New work extends the classic 'generation in the limit' framework to ask what happens when a learner never stops producing invalid strings.
A theoretical contribution, Generating in the Limit with Infinitely Many Hallucinations, works in the formal model of language learning as a game between an adversary, which reveals strings from an unknown target language, and a learner tha…

Theoretical Limits on Hallucination
Formal learning theory increasingly frames hallucination as a bounded property rather than an eliminable defect, shifting reliability work toward verification layers around models.
