Omni-Woodpecker: Hallucination Correction via Evidence-Prior Rebalancing for Omni LLMs

Omni-Woodpecker (OWP) is a training‑free framework designed to reduce cross‑modal hallucinations in Omni LLMs by rebalancing fused representations. It identifies conflicts between modality‑specific views, separates grounding evidence from competing priors via orthogonal decomposition, and adaptively suppresses misleading priors while restoring ignored evidence before decoding. Experiments show OWP improves performance on CMM, AVHBench, and several general reasoning benchmarks, and generalizes across different Omni LLM architectures.

OmniReasoning: Pushing the Limits of Audio-Visual Joint Reasoning

OmniReasoning introduces a new benchmark, OmniReasoningBench, that requires both audio and visual evidence for answering 1,150 multiple-choice and open-ended questions across two tasks. The authors also develop OmniQA, a data engine that automatically generates evidence‑grounded QA pairs with time‑stamped clue chains, producing training datasets OmniReasoning‑SFT‑112K and OmniReasoning‑RL‑19K. Finally, they propose Modality‑Factored Self‑Distillation (MFSD), an on‑policy self‑distillation method that assigns token‑level credit by evaluating responses under modality‑specific clue contexts, enabling the OmniReasoning‑30B‑A3B model to achieve significant performance gains on both the new benchmark and existing video benchmarks.

OmniHallu: Unified Hallucination Detection for Cross-Modal Comprehension and Generation in Multimodal Large Language Models

OmniHallu is a unified framework for detecting hallucinations in multimodal large language models across both comprehension and generation tasks involving image, video, and audio modalities. It introduces OmniHallu-Bench, a 10,000-sample benchmark with claim-level human annotations for six cross-modal tasks (I2T, V2T, A2T, T2I, T2V, T2A). The system uses a multi‑agent architecture that decomposes outputs into atomic claims, verifies them with modality‑specific experts, and aggregates evidence through structured reasoning, while a preference‑optimized verifier reduces expert calls by 66% with minimal performance loss.

Video Evidence to Reasoning Efficient Video Understanding via Explicit Evidence Grounding

arXiv:2601. 07761v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) face a fundamental dilemma in video reasoning: they are caught between the prohibitive computational costs of verbose reasoning and the hallucination risks of efficient, ungrounded approaches.
