Cite, or refuse.
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." It does not invent. The user is informed that no answer is the appropriate 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.
