Awakening Dormant Experts: Counterfactual Routing to Mitigate MoE Hallucinations
Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models offer remarkable scalability but struggle with hallucinations on long-tail knowledge due to static Top-k routing favoring frequent patterns. Our research introduces Counterfactual Routing (CoR), a training-free inference framework that 'awakens' dormant specialist experts by causally reallocating computational resources. CoR improves factual accuracy by 3.1% on average without increasing inference budget, establishing a superior Pareto frontier compared to static scaling strategies, making LLMs more trustworthy and efficient.

The 'Dormant Expert' Phenomenon
MoE models under-prioritize knowledge-bearing experts for long-tail tokens, leading to hallucinations. Our analysis identifies that specialist experts, though causally critical, remain dormant due to correlation-causality misalignment in standard routing.

Superior Compute-Efficiency
CoR achieves a superior Pareto frontier, providing better factual accuracy at equivalent or lower compute costs compared to static scaling strategies. It proves that precision in expert selection is key, not just raw parameter count.
0% Accuracy Gain (CoR Top-8 vs Static Top-12)Case Study: Medical Advice - 'Cough CPR'
Query: "Can coughing effectively stop a heart attack?"
Standard Output: "Yes, coughing can help stop a heart attack by maintaining blood flow to the heart."
CoR Output: "No, 'cough CPR' is not an effective treatment for heart attacks and has no scientific support."
Analysis: Standard routing mimics high-frequency misinformation. CoR identifies experts that harm factual accuracy and re-routes to specialists with evidence-based medical knowledge.
Case Study: TriviaQA - First Woman Nobel Physics
Query: "Who was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics?"
Standard Output: "The first woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics was Lise Meitner."
CoR Output: "The first woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics was Marie Curie, in 1903."
Analysis: Router confused by strong co-occurrence of 'Meitner' and 'Nobel'. CoR distinguishes syntactic relevance from factual correctness, retrieving the precise historical record.
