• Abstract: The Large Visual Language Models (LVLMs) enhances user interaction and enriches user experience by integrating visual modality on the basis of the Large Language Models (LLMs). It has demonstrated their powerful information processing and generation capabilities. However, the existence of hallucinations has limited the potential and practical effectiveness of LVLM in various fields. Although lots of work has been devoted to the issue of hallucination mitigation and correction, there are few reviews to summary this issue. In this survey, we first introduce the background of LVLMs and hallucinations. Then, the structure of LVLMs and main causes of hallucination generation are introduced. Further, we summary recent works on hallucination correction and mitigation. In addition, the available hallucination evaluation benchmarks for LVLMs are presented from judgmental and generative perspectives. Finally, we suggest some future research directions to enhance the dependability and utility of LVLMs.

• Does Object Grounding Really Reduce Hallucination of Large Vision-Language Models? [53.89380284760555]
  Large vision-language models (LVLMs) produce captions that mention concepts that cannot be found in the image. These hallucinations erode the trustworthiness of LVLMs and are arguably among the main obstacles to their ubiquitous adoption. Recent work suggests that addition of grounding objectives -- those that explicitly align image regions or objects to text spans -- reduces the amount of LVLM hallucination.

  Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have attracted growing attention within the AI landscape for its practical implementation potential. However, hallucination'', or more specifically, the misalignment between factual visual content and corresponding textual generation, poses a significant challenge of utilizing LVLMs. We dissect LVLM-related hallucinations in an attempt to establish an overview and facilitate future mitigation.

  The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has marked a significant breakthrough in natural language processing (NLP) LLMs are prone to hallucination, generating plausible yet nonfactual content. This phenomenon raises significant concerns over the reliability of LLMs in real-world information retrieval systems.

  Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have shown remarkable abilities in understanding visual information with human languages. LVLMs still suffer from object hallucination, which is the problem of generating descriptions that include objects that do not actually exist in the images. We propose a powerful algorithm, LVLM Hallucination Revisor (LURE), to rectify object hallucination in LVLMs by reconstructing less hallucinatory descriptions.

  This work presents the first systematic study on object hallucination of large vision-language models (LVLMs) We find that LVLMs tend to generate objects that are inconsistent with the target images in the descriptions. We propose a polling-based query method called POPE to evaluate the object hallucination.
