arXiv:2603. 24058v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Object hallucination in Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) severely compromises their reliability in real-world applications, posing a critical barrier to their deployment in high-stakes scenarios such as autonomous driving and medical image analysis.
arXiv:2608. 07302v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) often suffer from object hallucination, generating objects that are absent from the image.
The paper introduces MIOH, a fine‑grained benchmark for evaluating object hallucination in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) across multiple images. It assesses hallucination through four tasks—existence, counting, attribute, position—using three reasoning patterns (comprehensive, comparative, selective) and three adversarial pressures (visual context scale, perceptual difficulty, contextual bias). Evaluation of 29 models, including GPT‑5 and Gemini‑2.5‑Pro, shows distinct failure patterns, indicating that hallucination arises from integration‑stage limitations rather than just perceptual errors.

arXiv:2605. 08245v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) increasingly power high-stakes applications, from medical imaging to autonomous systems, yet they routinely hallucinate, confidently describing content not present in the input.
arXiv:2607. 24017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The empirical success of attention mechanism in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) often obscures its inherent, subtle flaws.
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed in multi-image scenarios requiring complex reasoning across visual contexts. However, current MLLMs remain fundamentally limited by o...
arXiv:2605. 16411v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Hallucination remains a fundamental challenge in vision-language models (VLMs), where autoregressive generation may produce linguistically plausible yet physically inconsistent or visually ungrounded responses due to likelihood maximization under joint probabilistic modeling.
arXiv:2605. 16411v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Hallucination remains a fundamental challenge in vision-language models (VLMs), where autoregressive generation may produce linguistically plausible yet physically inconsistent or visually ungrounded responses due to likelihood maximization under joint probabilistic modeling.
The paper introduces the concept of multi-view hallucination (MVH), where large vision-language models produce incorrect answers when processing images from multiple viewpoints. It presents MVH-Bench, a benchmark of 4.8k question-answer pairs that target cross-instance and cross-view hallucinations, and shows that MVH is common across recent models. The authors propose Reference Shift Contrastive Decoding (RSCD), a training-free decoding method that mitigates visual interference, achieving significant performance gains on MVH-Bench with LLaVA-OneVision and Qwen2.5-VL.
arXiv:2606. 26387v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) extend large language models (LLMs) with visual perception, enabling joint reasoning over images and text.
arXiv:2607. 23944v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human visual reasoning typically follows a coarse-to-fine attention process, starting from global scene understanding and gradually focusing on question-relevant regions.
