Citation, or refusal.
Every sentence Lemnia produces is anchored to a source document. When the source is missing, Lemnia refuses to answer with the phrase "Non ho evidenza sufficiente per questa affermazione" and forms no hypothesis. The operator is informed that the absence of an answer is, in that case, the correct answer.
The cite-or-refuse pipeline runs in 5 steps: (1) decomposition of the answer into atomic claims; (2) substring match against the evidence set; (3) mDeBERTa-NLI entailment verification; (4) consistency check against the knowledge graph; (5) strip-and-replace for non-entailed claims.
