The post asks if there is a research paper that shows how much the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) model reduces hallucinations. A community member responds by providing two relevant research paper links, but notes they are unsure if RAG directly reduces hallucinations or if it increases domain specificity/knowledge which then reduces hallucinations. The community member is also unsure if there is a need to differentiate between these two possibilities. There is no explicitly marked answer in the comments.
Although I'm not sure if RAG actually reduces hallucination directly or it increase domain specificity/knowledge and that reduces hallucination. Not even sure if there is a point in differentiating.
