Dynamic Alignment Compensation for Hallucination Mitigation in Large Vision-Language Models

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces Dynamic Alignment Compensation (DAC), a training‑free inference‑time technique designed to reduce hallucinations in Large Vision‑Language Models (LVLMs). DAC monitors cross‑modal representation drift across decoder layers and generation steps, applying lightweight residual compensation through Layer‑wise Semantic Compensation and Sequential Semantic Correction. Experiments on nine multimodal benchmarks across various LVLM backbones demonstrate that DAC consistently lowers hallucination rates while preserving overall performance.

Revealing Multi-View Hallucination in Large Vision-Language Models

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.
