用摘要引导解码,减少视觉语言模型的幻觉
Mitigating Hallucinations in Large Vision-Language Models via Summary-Guided Decoding
- 用图像摘要压缩文本上下文,让模型更关注图像信息
- 在物体幻觉测试中达到当前最优表现,且精度召回权衡更优
- 适合需要高准确率和高质量文本的视觉理解任务
大型视觉语言模型(LVLM)在从视觉输入生成详细连贯响应方面表现出色,但因其过度依赖语言先验,容易产生幻觉。我们研究了LVLM中的语言先验,发现:(1) 即使在预测与图像相关的词性(POS)标记时,随着序列增长,模型对语言先验的依赖也增强,从而放大幻觉;(2) 直接校准输出分布以缓解语言先验的方法可能导致文本质量下降,甚至加剧幻觉。基于此,我们提出一种新方法——摘要引导解码(SumGD)。该方法通过摘要减少文本上下文,自然促使模型更关注图像信息,同时仅控制图像相关词性标记,以保持文本质量。实验表明,SumGD在物体幻觉基准测试中达到当前最优性能。此外,在精确率与召回率的权衡上,其达到帕累托最优。最后,我们观察到,现有方法难以兼顾降低幻觉与保持文本质量,而SumGD在该挑战上表现出强鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) demonstrate impressive capabilities in generating detailed and coherent responses from visual inputs. However, they are prone to generate hallucinations due to an over-reliance on language priors. To address this issue, we investigate the language priors in LVLMs and make two key observations: (1) Even when predicting the tokens associated with image-related part-of-speech (POS), models increasingly rely on linguistic priors as the token sequences grow, thereby amplifying hallucinations. (2) Methods that directly calibrate LVLM's output distribution to mitigate language priors can lead to a degradation in text quality or even exacerbate hallucinations. Based on these findings, we propose a novel method, Summary-Guided Decoding (SumGD). This method naturally encourages the model to focus more on image information by reducing the text context through summaries, while controlling only the image-related POS tokens to maintain text quality. Through experiments, we demonstrate that SumGD achieves state-of-the-art performance on object hallucination benchmarks. Furthermore, in terms of the trade-off between precision and recall, SumGD achieves Pareto optimality among the existing methods. Lastly, we observe that although existing methods struggle to balance the reduction of object hallucinations with maintaining text quality, SumGD demonstrates robustness in handling this challenge.
