AtomCite is an agentic framework that verifies and corrects page‑level citations in multi‑page documents by parsing answers into claims, checking each claim against the cited page image, and applying a deterministic repair policy. The authors introduce DocCite, the first benchmark for this task, built on MP‑DocVQA and DUDE, containing 928 injected instances and 1,909 verified natural errors. Across Gemini, Claude, and GPT models, AtomCite achieves about 93% verification accuracy and improves citation precision from 34% to 87‑90%, while also enhancing hallucination detection in open‑source models.

arXiv:2607. 07507v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hallucinations in vision language models (VLMs) are commonly treated as semantic errors, yet they often arise from partial or ambiguous visual evidence.

SAGE is a multi‑agent framework that transforms Chinese ancient document understanding from direct answer generation into evidence‑grounded inference. It orchestrates specialized agents for planning, evidence acquisition, claim verification, and bounded replanning within a shared‑state runtime, enabling evidence seeking, answer revision, and abstention when grounding is lacking. Experiments on the AncientDoc benchmark show that SAGE outperforms direct‑answering baselines across three LVLM backbones, and even a 9B‑parameter Qwen3.5 model surpasses larger monolithic LVLMs, underscoring the value of structured, evidence‑grounded inference over mere model scaling.
