When Language Overwrites Vision: Over-Alignment and Geometric Debiasing in Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2605. 08245v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) increasingly power high-stakes applications, from medical imaging to autonomous systems, yet they routinely hallucinate, confidently describing content not present in the input.

Hallucinations as Orthogonal Noise: Inference-Time Manifold Alignment via Dynamic Contextual Orthogonalization

arXiv:2606. 03022v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hallucination in Large Language Models (LLMs), characterized by the generation of content inconsistent with contextual facts or logical constraints -- remains a persistent challenge for reliable deployment.

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.

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.

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.
