• Abstract summary: We develop a framework to generate faithful and salient text from mixed-modal data. We train a small vision critic model to identify hallucinated and non-salient features from the image modality. Experiments on two datasets show that our framework improves LMMs' generation quality on both faithfulness and saliency.

• Abstract: While large multimodal models (LMMs) have obtained strong performance on many multimodal tasks, they may still hallucinate while generating text. Their performance on detecting salient features from visual data is also unclear. In this paper, we develop a framework to generate faithful and salient text from mixed-modal data, which includes images and structured data ( represented in knowledge graphs or tables). Specifically, we train a small vision critic model to identify hallucinated and non-salient features from the image modality. The critic model also generates a list of salient image features. This information is used in the post editing step to improve the generation quality. Experiments on two datasets show that our framework improves LMMs' generation quality on both faithfulness and saliency, outperforming recent techniques aimed at reducing hallucination.

  Attribute-based Multimodal Data Augmentation (ARMADA) is a novel multimodal data augmentation method via knowledge-guided manipulation of visual attributes. ARMADA is a novel multimodal data generation framework that: (i) extracts knowledge-grounded attributes from symbolic KBs for semantically consistent yet distinctive image-text pair generation. This also highlights the need to leverage external knowledge proxies for enhanced interpretability and real-world grounding.

Our framework is built upon a comprehensive analysis of inconsistency phenomena, categorizing them based on their manifestation in the image. We then integrate a state-of-the-art controllable image generation model with a visual text generation module to generate an image that is consistent with the original prompt.
