用温度采样+大模型比对,自动识别医学影像报告中的幻觉内容
RadFlag: A Black-Box Hallucination Detection Method for Medical Vision Language Models
- 通过不同温度采样生成多份报告,对比不一致内容
- 识别出90%以上不一致的陈述,准确标记为幻觉风险
- 无需修改模型,适配各类放射科报告生成系统
从医学影像生成准确的放射科报告是临床重要但具挑战性的任务。当前视觉语言模型虽有潜力,却易产生幻觉,可能影响患者诊疗。我们提出RadFlag,一种黑箱方法以提升放射科报告生成的准确性。该方法采用基于采样的置信度检测技术:在不同温度下生成多份报告,再用大语言模型识别跨样本不一致的陈述,这些陈述表明模型自身信心不足。通过校准阈值,将部分此类陈述标记为潜在幻觉,需额外审查或自动剔除。实验显示,该方法在识别单个幻觉句和含幻觉的完整报告方面均具备高精度。作为仅需访问模型温度参数的黑箱系统,RadFlag可兼容多种放射科报告生成模型,具有广泛提升自动化报告质量的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Generating accurate radiology reports from medical images is a clinically important but challenging task. While current Vision Language Models (VLMs) show promise, they are prone to generating hallucinations, potentially compromising patient care. We introduce RadFlag, a black-box method to enhance the accuracy of radiology report generation. Our method uses a sampling-based flagging technique to find hallucinatory generations that should be removed. We first sample multiple reports at varying temperatures and then use a Large Language Model (LLM) to identify claims that are not consistently supported across samples, indicating that the model has low confidence in those claims. Using a calibrated threshold, we flag a fraction of these claims as likely hallucinations, which should undergo extra review or be automatically rejected. Our method achieves high precision when identifying both individual hallucinatory sentences and reports that contain hallucinations. As an easy-to-use, black-box system that only requires access to a model's temperature parameter, RadFlag is compatible with a wide range of radiology report generation models and has the potential to broadly improve the quality of automated radiology reporting.
