This is something the LLMs are really good for, at least for compiler papers.

And like everything LLM related this is something that people may have had bad experience with in the past but which work well now -- a year or two ago half those papers would be "hallucinated" non-existent papers but this rarely happens these days.

I have a reference checker tool that I have the agent use to make sure nothing is hallucinated. It very often corrects small details like dates or authors on otherwise real references.
