Generate, but Verify: Reducing Hallucination in Vision-Language Models with Retrospective Resampling
- 生成时动态回溯重采样,边生成边自检幻觉。
- 在CHAIR-MSCOCO上幻觉减少12%,HaloQuest上减少34%。
- 适合对安全性要求高的图像描述应用,如医疗、自动驾驶。
视觉语言模型在视觉理解方面表现优异,但常出现视觉幻觉,即生成不存在的对象、动作或概念,这对安全关键应用构成重大风险。现有方法分为两类:生成调整(修改解码行为以匹配视觉输入)和事后验证(用外部模型评估并纠正输出)。前者依赖启发式规则且缺乏修正机制,后者复杂且通常只拒绝输出而非修正。本文提出REVERSE框架,融合幻觉感知训练与推理时的自验证机制。基于包含超过130万条半合成样本的新幻觉验证数据集,结合创新的推理时回溯重采样技术,使模型能在生成过程中检测幻觉并动态修正。实验表明,REVERSE在CHAIR-MSCOCO上比最优现有方法降低幻觉12%,在HaloQuest上降低34%。相关数据集、模型与代码已公开:https://reverse-vlm.github.io。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) excel at visual understanding but often suffer from visual hallucinations, where they generate descriptions of nonexistent objects, actions, or concepts, posing significant risks in safety-critical applications. Existing hallucination mitigation methods typically follow one of two paradigms: generation adjustment, which modifies decoding behavior to align text with visual inputs, and post-hoc verification, where external models assess and correct outputs. While effective, generation adjustment methods often rely on heuristics and lack correction mechanisms, while post-hoc verification is complicated, typically requiring multiple models and tending to reject outputs rather than refine them. In this work, we introduce REVERSE, a unified framework that integrates hallucination-aware training with on-the-fly self-verification. By leveraging a new hallucination-verification dataset containing over 1.3M semi-synthetic samples, along with a novel inference-time retrospective resampling technique, our approach enables VLMs to both detect hallucinations during generation and dynamically revise those hallucinations. Our evaluations show that REVERSE achieves state-of-the-art hallucination reduction, outperforming the best existing methods by up to 12% on CHAIR-MSCOCO and 34% on HaloQuest. Our dataset, model, and code are available at: https://reverse-vlm.github.io.
