ReWEIGH the Evidence: Calibrating Token-Level Ordinal Visual Evidence to Mitigate Hallucinations in Large Vision-Language Models
ReWEIGH the Evidence is a training‑free decoding technique that calibrates token‑level ordinal visual evidence to reduce hallucinations in large vision‑language models. It aggregates vocabulary ranks across visual positions, compares candidates to a token‑specific reference derived from unlabeled images, and applies a bounded penalty only when evidence falls below this reference. Experiments on four 7B backbones show up to a 21.3% reduction in hallucinated object mentions while largely preserving or improving descriptive and general performance, with minimal added latency.

SAGE: Sink-Aware Guided Emphasis for Visual Grounding in Vision-Language Decoders
The paper introduces SAGE, a lightweight method that guides decoder attention in vision-language models away from prompt‑invariant attention sinks (PIS) toward query‑dependent regions of interest (ROIs). By using token‑aligned ROI masks from vision backbones like CLIP, ViT, and DINOv3, SAGE improves visual grounding and reduces hallucinations across various VLM families. Experiments show consistent gains on public vision‑language benchmarks, especially in fine‑grained visual discrimination tasks where localized evidence is essential.

Evaluating Explanation-Driven Vision-Language Reasoning via Generation Order Interventions
The paper investigates how the order of generating explanations—whether a rationale is produced before or after the answer—affects vision‑language reasoning. By conducting controlled experiments on knowledge‑intensive QA, visual entailment, and compositional grounding tasks, the authors show that larger models are required for reliable rationale‑first generation, while answer‑first generation is less susceptible to format errors. The study concludes that explanation ordering, model scale, pre‑training knowledge, fine‑tuning, and task structure jointly influence prediction accuracy and reasoning faithfulness.
