Fine-Grained Multi Image Object Hallucination Benchmark

The paper introduces MIOH, a fine‑grained benchmark for evaluating object hallucination in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) across multiple images. It assesses hallucination through four tasks—existence, counting, attribute, position—using three reasoning patterns (comprehensive, comparative, selective) and three adversarial pressures (visual context scale, perceptual difficulty, contextual bias). Evaluation of 29 models, including GPT‑5 and Gemini‑2.5‑Pro, shows distinct failure patterns, indicating that hallucination arises from integration‑stage limitations rather than just perceptual errors.

MultiToP: Learning to Patch Visual Tokens to Mitigate Hallucinations in Video Large Multimodal Models

arXiv:2606. 11792v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video Large Multimodal Models have achieved remarkable progress in video understanding, yet they remain prone to hallucinations, where generated responses are not faithfully supported by the input video.

Hallucination in Multimodal Foundation Models: A Survey on Causes, Corrections, and Evaluations

The article surveys hallucination issues in Large Vision‑Language Models (LVLMs), a type of multimodal foundation model that blends visual data with large language models. It categorizes hallucination causes into model architecture and data quality, presents a taxonomy of mitigation strategies, and critically evaluates existing evaluation benchmarks from both discriminative and generative viewpoints. The survey also outlines open challenges and future research directions to improve LVLM reliability and trustworthiness.

UniProbe: A Learnable Token-Level Hallucination Detector for Large VLMs using Multi-Structural Internal Representations

arXiv:2608. 10835v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) achieve impressive visual reasoning and dialogue capabilities, yet frequently hallucinate content unsupported by the visual input.
