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.

The paper introduces a free, label‑free visual evidence signal that improves fine‑grained vision‑language reasoning. By selecting image crops that maximize the model’s answer distribution peak, the method locates answer‑bearing regions without training or annotations, boosting accuracy from 70 % to 85 %. The evidence gap also complements model confidence, enabling better correctness prediction and error flagging.

arXiv:2606. 02642v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite the success of audio-visual large-language models (LLMs), they can produce plausible but ungrounded outputs, termed hallucination.

arXiv:2607. 04223v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) reduces but does not eliminate hallucination, and existing detectors return a single answer-level score that does not indicate which sentence is unsupported, or why.
