通过精准调控问答对间的奖励差距,有效减少视觉语言模型幻觉。

Systematic Reward Gap Optimization for Mitigating VLM Hallucinations

  • 设计话题级重写框架,可精细控制回复中的语义细节。
  • 在ObjectHal-Bench上将幻觉率降低93%,平均性能提升20%。
  • 适合需要高精度对齐且资源受限的视觉语言模型训练场景。

视觉语言模型(VLMs)中直接偏好优化(DPO)的成功关键在于偏好对中的真实奖励差距。然而,现有方法依赖排序或重写策略,在数据筛选过程中难以系统性优化这些奖励差距。核心难点在于精确刻画并战略性调整整体奖励差距配置,即在每对偏好中如何设计奖励差距。为此,我们提出话题级偏好重写(TPR)框架,通过选择性地将模型回复中的语义话题替换为模型自身重采样的候选内容,实现对细粒度语义细节的话题级控制。这种精准控制支持高级数据筛选策略,如逐步调整被拒绝响应的难度,从而塑造出能引导模型克服复杂幻觉的有效奖励差距配置。全面实验表明,TPR在多个幻觉基准上达到顶尖性能,平均优于先前方法20%;尤其在ObjectHal-Bench上幻觉减少达93%,且展现出优异的数据效率,实现鲁棒、低成本的VLM对齐。代码与数据集见https://tpr-dpo.github.io。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The success of Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) in mitigating hallucinations in Vision Language Models (VLMs) critically hinges on the true reward gaps within preference pairs. However, current methods, typically relying on ranking or rewriting strategies, often struggle to optimize these reward gaps in a systematic way during data curation. A core difficulty lies in precisely characterizing and strategically manipulating the overall reward gap configuration, that is, the deliberate design of how to shape these reward gaps within each preference pair across the data. To address this, we introduce Topic-level Preference Rewriting(TPR), a novel framework designed for the systematic optimization of reward gap configuration. Through selectively replacing semantic topics within VLM responses with model's own resampled candidates for targeted rewriting, TPR can provide topic-level control over fine-grained semantic details. This precise control enables advanced data curation strategies, such as progressively adjusting the difficulty of rejected responses, thereby sculpting an effective reward gap configuration that guides the model to overcome challenging hallucinations. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate TPR achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple hallucination benchmarks, outperforming previous methods by an average of 20%. Notably, it significantly reduces hallucinations by up to 93% on ObjectHal-Bench, and also exhibits superior data efficiency towards robust and cost-effective VLM alignment.
