arXiv:2605.02277v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Factual Error Correction (FEC) aims to revise inaccurate text into statements that are factually consistent with external evidence. Although recent methods perform well on single-hop correction, they often treat claims as atomic units and struggle with multi-hop cases that require compositional reasoning across multiple evidence sources. This challenge is further amplified by limited paired data and difficulties in locating semantic errors within complex reasoning chains. We present CECoR (Compositional Error Correction via Reasoning-aware Sy
The increasing complexity of AI models and reasoning chains necessitates more sophisticated methods for factual error correction, especially as models are deployed in critical applications.
Improving the factual accuracy and corrigibility of AI systems is crucial for their trustworthiness, safety, and integration into decision-making processes, directly impacting reliability and adoption.
This research introduces a novel approach to generate synthetic data for improving multi-hop factual error correction, moving beyond atomic claim correction to tackle more complex reasoning.

AI models will become more reliable in tasks requiring factual consistency across multiple pieces of evidence.
Increased trust in AI systems may lead to their faster integration into domains like scientific research and legal analysis.
More robust error correction could somewhat mitigate risks associated with AI-generated misinformation, although not fully solve it.
