幻觉仍是大型视觉语言模型(LVLMs)的主要挑战。直接偏好优化(DPO)因其简单性被广泛关注,通过构建反映幻觉严重程度的偏好对来学习。然而现有方法因数据构造方式不同导致性能差异显著。我们发现关键因素在于:数据是否与DPO初始参考策略保持同策略(on-policy)。理论分析表明,使用异策略(off-policy)数据会受更新策略与参考策略间KL散度阻碍。从数据集分布角度,系统总结了现有算法在使用DPO缓解幻觉时的内在缺陷。为此,提出新框架OPA-DPO,利用专家反馈修正幻觉响应,并以同策略方式对齐原始与修正响应。仅用4800样本,即在LLaVA-1.5-7B上实现比此前最先进方法(用16000样本训练)更高的幻觉率降低:AMBER基准下降13.26%,Object-Hal基准下降5.39%。代码已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Hallucination remains a major challenge for Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs). Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) has gained increasing attention as a simple solution to hallucination issues. It directly learns from constructed preference pairs that reflect the severity of hallucinations in responses to the same prompt and image. Nonetheless, different data construction methods in existing works bring notable performance variations. We identify a crucial factor here: outcomes are largely contingent on whether the constructed data aligns on-policy w.r.t the initial (reference) policy of DPO. Theoretical analysis suggests that learning from off-policy data is impeded by the presence of KL-divergence between the updated policy and the reference policy. From the perspective of dataset distribution, we systematically summarize the inherent flaws in existing algorithms that employ DPO to address hallucination issues. To alleviate the problems, we propose On-Policy Alignment (OPA)-DPO framework, which uniquely leverages expert feedback to correct hallucinated responses and aligns both the original and expert-revised responses in an on-policy manner. Notably, with only 4.8k data, OPA-DPO achieves an additional reduction in the hallucination rate of LLaVA-1.5-7B: 13.26% on the AMBER benchmark and 5.39% on the Object-Hal benchmark, compared to the previous SOTA algorithm trained with 16k samples. Our implementation is available at https://github.com/zhyang2226/OPA-DPO.
