arXiv:2606. 29431v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the impressive capabilities of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs), they remain susceptible to hallucination, generating content inconsistent with the input image.
arXiv:2606. 00819v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved strong performance across diverse natural language tasks, yet their outputs often suffer from hallucinations -- content that is misaligned with factual information.
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.
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.
