The article surveys hallucination issues in Large Vision‑Language Models (LVLMs), a type of multimodal foundation model that blends visual data with large language models. It categorizes hallucination causes into model architecture and data quality, presents a taxonomy of mitigation strategies, and critically evaluates existing evaluation benchmarks from both discriminative and generative viewpoints. The survey also outlines open challenges and future research directions to improve LVLM reliability and trustworthiness.

arXiv:2603. 21693v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for medical Visual Question Answering (VQA), yet they remain prone to hallucinations, defined as generating responses that contradict the input image, posing serious risks in clinical settings.

The paper explores using a language model’s low‑level symbolic skill—specifically SQL—to detect hallucinations without fine‑tuning. By having the model construct an SQL database from reference documents, it can reason over both the source and the model’s output, creating a neurosymbolic check. Experiments on RAGTruth and DiaHalu show this method outperforms direct prediction and rivals state‑of‑the‑art detectors, highlighting the value of leveraging inherent symbolic competences in LLMs.
