Researcher (School of Computing and Engineering Sciences, University of Chester) and author of "Compound Deception in Elite Peer Review: A Failure Mode Taxonomy of 100 Fabricated Citations at NeurIPS 2025" (arXiv 2602.05930, 2026), an analysis of 100 hallucinated citations across 53 NeurIPS 2025 accepted papers.
Matters to this vault as the source of the clearest documented case found so far of an AI-generated citation artifact propagating from one model's output into what a later model reproduces — named "Contamination Inheritance" — a concrete instance of the general training-data compounding mechanism this vault's Matthew-effect-in-LLMs cluster asks about.
