TL;DR
[ https://helsinki-nlp.github.io/shroom/2025a | SHROOM-CAP ] is an Indic-centric shared task co-located with [ https://chomps2025.github.io/ | CHOMPS-2025 ] to advance the SOTA in hallucination detection for scientific content generated with LLMs. We have annotated hallucinated content in 5 high-resource languages and surprisal 4 low-resource Indic languages using top-tier LLMs. Participate in as many languages as you like by accurately detecting the presence of hallucinated content. Stay informed by joining our [ https://groups.google.com/g/shroomcap | Google group ] ! Full Invitation We are excited to announce the SHROOM-CAP shared task on cross-lingual hallucination detection for scientific publication (link to [ https://helsinki-nlp.github.io/shroom/2025a | website ] ). We invite participants to detect whether or not there is hallucination in the outputs of instruction-tuned LLMs within a cross-lingual scientific context. About This shared task builds upon our previous iteration, [ https://helsinki-nlp.github.io/shroom/2024 | SHROOM ] , with three key highlights: LLM-centered, cross-lingual annotations & hallucination and fluency prediction. LLMs frequently produce "hallucinations," where models generate plausible but incorrect outputs, while the existing metrics prioritize fluency over correctness. This results in an issue of growing concern as these models are increasingly adopted by the public. With SHROOM-CAP, we want to advance the state-of-the-art in detecting hallucinated scientific content. This new iteration of the shared task is held in a cross-lingual and multimodel context: we provide data produced by a variety of open-weights LLMs in 5+4 different high and low resource languages (English, French, Spanish, Hindi, Italian, and to-be-later-revealed Indic languages). Participants are invited to participate in any of the languages available and are expected to develop systems that can accurately identify hallucinations in generated scientific content. Additionally, participants will also be invited to submit system description papers, with the option to present them in oral/poster format during the CHOMPS workshop (collocated with [ https://2025.aaclnet.org/ | IJCNLP-AACL 2025, Mumbai, India ] ). Participants that elect to write a system description paper will be asked to review their peers’ submissions (max 2 papers per author). Key Dates: All deadlines are “anywhere on Earth” (23:59 UTC-12). * Train set available by: 31.07.2025 * Validation set available by: 05.09.2025 * Test set available by: 05.10.2025 * Test phase ends: 12.10.2025 * Leaderboard release: 15.10.2025 * System description papers due: 25.10.2025 * Notification of acceptance: 05.11.2025 * Camera-ready due: 11.11.2025 * Proceedings due: 01.12.2025 * CHOMPS workshop: 23/ [ https://mail.ufal.mff.cuni.cz/calendar/day/1766568272945 | 24th December 2025 ] (co-located with IJCNLP-AACL 2025) Evaluation Metrics: Participants will be ranked along two criteria: 1. factuality mistakes measured via macro-F1 gold reference vs. predicted; 2. fluency mistakes measured via macro-F1 gold reference vs. predicted based on our annotations. Rankings and submissions will be done separately per language: you are welcome to focus only on the languages you are interested in!
