TemporalScore Dataset
Paper: TemporalScore: Measuring and Detecting Temporal Hallucination in LLM Summarization Venue: CIKM 2026 (Short Research Paper) DOI: https://doi.org/10.1145/3799682.3840029
Dataset Description
This dataset accompanies the TemporalScore paper and contains annotations for temporal hallucination in LLM-generated summaries. Temporal hallucination occurs when a summary distorts the temporal status of events — converting future plans into past accomplishments, upgrading uncertain proposals to confirmed facts, or reordering events.
Taxonomy
Three categories of temporal hallucination:
- TS (Tense Shift): Future/planned events reported as past/completed
- CU (Certainty Upgrade): Hedged/conditional statements made definite
- TR (Temporal Reorder): Events appear in incorrect chronological sequence
