ReWEIGH the Evidence is a training‑free decoding technique that calibrates token‑level ordinal visual evidence to reduce hallucinations in large vision‑language models. It aggregates vocabulary ranks across visual positions, compares candidates to a token‑specific reference derived from unlabeled images, and applies a bounded penalty only when evidence falls below this reference. Experiments on four 7B backbones show up to a 21.3% reduction in hallucinated object mentions while largely preserving or improving descriptive and general performance, with minimal added latency.

RelCheck is a training‑free post‑hoc correction pipeline that addresses relational hallucinations in multimodal large language models. It augments object‑level visual grounding with two forms of relational evidence—learned scene‑graph triples from RelTR and deterministic spatial predicates derived from bounding‑box geometry—forming a three‑layer visual knowledge base. When applied to LLaVA v1 13B, RelCheck improves the overall MME hallucination score from 585.0 to 630.0, with the most significant gain on spatial position accuracy.

The paper introduces CADMP, a lightweight framework for detecting object hallucinations in large vision‑language models. CADMP measures cross‑modal attention drift between adjacent layers and verifies predictions by masking visually relevant regions, combining these signals to identify hallucinated outputs. Experiments on multiple benchmarks show that CADMP achieves competitive detection performance, and ablation studies confirm the complementary roles of attention drift and mask‑based verification.
