arXiv:2606. 00819v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved strong performance across diverse natural language tasks, yet their outputs often suffer from hallucinations -- content that is misaligned with factual information.

Mitigating Hallucinations via Inter-Layer Consistency Aggregation in Large Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2505. 12343v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite the impressive capabilities of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs), they remain susceptible to hallucinations, where generated content is inconsistent with the input image.

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

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.

Look Before You Leap: Factual Decoding with Internal Attribution Signals

The paper introduces DescaPE, a decoding framework that uses internal model signals to reduce hallucinations in large language models. By identifying a factual‑salient layer span and training a lightweight probe to approximate its signal, DescaPE penalizes high‑risk continuations and rewards factually grounded ones during inference. Experiments on five factuality benchmarks across three LLMs show that DescaPE improves factuality with only a 1.10× latency overhead.
