Detecting Object Hallucinations in Large Vision-Language Models via Cross-Modal Attention Drifts and Mask-Based Verification

The paper introduces CADMP, a lightweight framework for detecting object hallucinations in large vision‑language models. CADMP measures cross‑modal attention drift between adjacent layers and verifies predictions by masking visually relevant regions, combining these signals to identify hallucinated outputs. Experiments on multiple benchmarks show that CADMP achieves competitive detection performance, and ablation studies confirm the complementary roles of attention drift and mask‑based verification.

External Observers May See More Clearly: Cross-Model Span-Level Hallucination Detection in Large Language Models via Hidden State Probing

The paper proposes a hidden‑state probing method for detecting hallucinations at the span level in large language model outputs, moving beyond token‑wise binary classification. By examining layer‑wise activation patterns, the approach identifies the exact onset and continuation tokens of hallucinations, achieving higher precision‑recall AUC than random baselines despite class imbalance. Additionally, the authors introduce a cross‑model detection framework where one model observes another’s internal representations, showing that an external observer can match or surpass the generator’s own self‑detection of hallucination onsets, even when the observer is smaller.
