HaluSearch: Tree-Search Slow-Thinking for Inference-Time LLM Hallucination Mitigation

An inference-time framework that reframes LLM text generation as step-by-step tree search (e.g., MCTS) guided by a self-evaluation reward model, combined with a dual-process-inspired dynamic system switch that alternates between fast (direct) and slow (deliberate, reward-scored) thinking at the instance and step levels to reduce hallucinations while balancing quality and inference cost.
