- Abstract: Hallucination is a common problem for Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) with long generations which is difficult to eradicate. The generation with hallucinations is partially inconsistent with the image content. To mitigate hallucination, current studies either focus on the process of model inference or the results of model generation, but the solutions they design sometimes do not deal appropriately with various types of queries and the hallucinations of the generations about these queries. To accurately deal with various hallucinations, we present a unified framework, Dentist, for hallucination mitigation. The core step is to first classify the queries, then perform different processes of hallucination mitigation based on the classification result, just like a dentist first observes the teeth and then makes a plan. In a simple deployment, Dentist can classify queries as perception or reasoning and easily mitigate potential hallucinations in answers which has been demonstrated in our experiments. On MMbench, we achieve a 13.44%/10.2%/15.8% improvement in accuracy on Image Quality, a Coarse Perception visual question answering (VQA) task, over the baseline InstructBLIP/LLaVA/VisualGLM.

We present an in-depth investigation into the object hallucination problem specifically within the CLIP model.
We unveil that even in isolation, the CLIP model is prone to object hallucinations, suggesting that the hallucination problem is not solely due to the interaction between vision and language modalities.
We show the the enhanced model can be employed as a visual encoder, effectively alleviating the object hallucination issue in LVLMs.

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have shown remarkable performance on many visual-language tasks.
These models still suffer from multimodal hallucination, which means the generation of objects or content that violates the images.
We propose Hierarchical Feedback Learning with Vision-enhanced Penalty Decoding (HELPD) to address this issue.

We show that models achieving better scores on standard metrics could hallucinate objects more frequently.
Surprisingly, we find that patch-based features perform the best and smaller patch resolution yields a non-trivial reduction in object hallucination.
