The Awareness–Behaviour Paradox: Media Literacy and Social Media Risk Behaviour Among Nigerian Undergraduates
Abstract: Background: The proliferation of internet-capable devices and social media platforms has created an intricate web of risks for Nigerian undergraduates, including cyberbullying, addiction, misinformation, and exposure to indecent content. While media literacy has been widely proposed in Western scholarship as a sustainable intervention for responsible online behaviour, its protective mechanisms remain insufficiently understood in non-Western contexts, particularly with respect to the psychological pathways through which literacy operates.Objectives: This study examined …

Semantic Similarity Framework for Automatic Hallucination Detection in Large Language Models
Abstract: Large Language Models can generate fluent, contextually appropriate text across a range of NLP tasks, but they frequently produce outputs that are factually wrong while sounding confident and plausible. This problem, referred to as hallucination, poses serious risks in domains where accuracy matters. We propose a post-processing framework that detects hallucinated responses by comparing them against verified reference text using sentence embeddings. The system computes cosine similarity between the response …
