Citation Grounding

Ensures AI responses are directly supported by specific, verifiable sources (citations), enhancing transparency and reducing hallucinations.

Key Principles

• Source Verification: Every claim must trace to a specific source
• Explicit Citation: Responses include direct references (e.g., “As in [source]…“)
• Reduced Hallucination: Grounding minimizes unsupported claims

Integration Example: Gemini and NotebookLM

• notebooklm (grounded knowledge engine) organizes documents with explicit citations
• gemini (multimodal reasoning engine) leverages NotebookLM’s knowledge to generate source-cited responses
• Combined workflow enables citation grounding in practice: responses include verifiable citations from the knowledge base
