Revisiting Greedy Decoding for Visual Question Answering: A Calibration Perspective

The paper argues that stochastic decoding, common in large language models, is not ideal for Visual Question Answering (VQA) because VQA is a closed‑ended task with head‑heavy answer distributions and epistemic uncertainty. The authors formalize how model calibration relates to predictive accuracy and identify conditions under which greedy decoding is optimal. Experiments across multiple benchmarks show greedy decoding outperforms stochastic sampling, and a new Greedy Decoding for Reasoning Models further improves multimodal reasoning performance.
