arXiv:2607. 28986v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Zero-shot image captioning (ZIC) describes images without paired image-caption supervision during captioner training, relying on text-only corpora and frozen pretrained image-text scorers.

Dual-Stream Cross-Anchor Correction Grounding Long-Form Captions and the Domain Limits of Object-Level Anchors

Object hallucination in multimodal large language models arises when language priors and corpus co-occurrence bias outweigh the visual evidence, with nothing tying an individual object mention to what the image shows. Most remedies intervene at decoding time without training, yet under a unified protocol their benefit is confined to short captions;supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on a detail- rich corpus lengthens captions, but over forty percent still name absent objects.

MAVEN: A Multi-stage Agentic Annotation Pipeline for Video Reasoning Tasks

arXiv:2605. 21917v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Training Vision Language Models (VLMs) for video event reasoning requires high-quality structured annotations capturing not only what happened, but when, where, why, and with what consequence, at a scale manual labelling cannot support.

ProCap: Prominence-guided Object Rectification for Faithful and Comprehensive Video Captioning

Improving video captioning quality typically demands retraining large vision-language models, an expensive and often impractical requirement. Existing training-free alternatives instead ground captions in detected objects to curb hallucination, but apply only a single, fixed correction pass without prioritizing which objects matter most, leaving semantically significant content omitted.
