• Abstract: By leveraging both texts and images, large vision language models (LVLMs) have shown significant progress in various multi-modal tasks. Nevertheless, these models often suffer from hallucinations, e.g., they exhibit inconsistencies between the visual input and the textual output. To address this, we propose H-POPE, a coarse-to-fine-grained benchmark that systematically assesses hallucination in object existence and attributes. Our evaluation shows that models are prone to hallucinations on object existence, and even more so on fine-grained attributes. We further investigate whether these models rely on visual input to formulate the output texts.

  Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) generate detailed and coherent responses from visual inputs. They are prone to generate hallucinations due to an over-reliance on language priors. We propose a novel method, Summary-Guided Decoding (SGD)

  Hallucinations in large vision models (LVLMs) are a significant challenge, i.e., generating objects that are not presented in the visual input. Recent studies often attribute hallucinations to a lack of understanding of visual input, yet ignore a more fundamental issue: the model's inability to extract or decouple visual features. In this paper, we revisit the hallucinations in LVLMs from an architectural perspective, investigating whether the primary cause lies in the visual encoder (feature extraction) or the modal alignment module (feature decoupling)

  Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) suffer from hallucination issues, wherein the models generate plausible-sounding but factually incorrect outputs. Existing benchmarks are often limited in scope, focusing mainly on object hallucinations. We introduce a multi-dimensional benchmark covering objects, attributes, and relations, with challenging images selected based on associative biases.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed the Natural Language Processing (NLP) landscape with their remarkable ability to understand and generate human-like text. However, these models are prone to hallucinations'' -- outputs that do not align with factual reality or the input context. This paper introduces the Hallucinations Leaderboard, an open initiative to quantitatively measure and compare the tendency of each model to produce hallucinations.

We devise a training approach aimed at improving consistency to reduce number hallucinations, which leads to an 8% enhancement in performance over direct finetuning methods.

  Large language models (LMs) are prone to generate factual errors, which are often called hallucinations.

  Large-scale vision-language pre-trained models are prone to hallucinate non-existent visual objects when generating text. 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.
