通过可视化注意力机制,让大模型看清自己何时胡说八道并纠正。

Seeing It or Not? Interpretable Vision-aware Latent Steering to Mitigate Object Hallucinations

  • 先分析视觉输入如何影响每个输出词,再用结果修正错误生成
  • 在多个数据集上将幻觉率降低15%~30%,效果显著
  • 适合研究模型可解释性或想减少幻觉的开发者

大型视觉语言模型虽表现优异,但仍存在对象幻觉问题,即生成与视觉输入不符的内容。现有方法虽尝试缓解此问题,但模型产生幻觉的视觉决策机制仍不清晰。本文提出视觉感知潜在空间调控框架VaLSe,采用先解释后修正策略。该框架通过建模复杂的视觉-语言交互并消除虚假激活,生成可视化的视觉贡献图,揭示特定视觉输入如何影响每个输出词。这些图谱用于潜在空间调控,使内部表征向语义相关内容对齐,从而减少幻觉输出。大量实验证明,VaLSe不仅是强大的可解释性工具,还能有效提升模型在多个基准上的抗幻觉能力。此外,我们的分析指出当前幻觉评估指标存在局限,呼吁未来建立更精细、可解释且以视觉为基础的评测标准。代码已开源:https://github.com/Ziwei-Zheng/VaLSe。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have achieved remarkable success but continue to struggle with object hallucination (OH), generating outputs inconsistent with visual inputs. While previous work has proposed methods to reduce OH, the visual decision-making mechanisms that lead to hallucinations remain poorly understood. In this paper, we propose VaLSe, a Vision-aware Latent Steering framework that adopts an interpretation-then-mitigation strategy to address OH in LVLMs. By tackling dual challenges of modeling complex vision-language interactions and eliminating spurious activation artifacts, VaLSe can generate visual contribution maps that trace how specific visual inputs influence individual output tokens. These maps reveal the model's vision-aware focus regions, which are then used to perform latent space steering, realigning internal representations toward semantically relevant content and reducing hallucinated outputs. Extensive experiments demonstrate that VaLSe is a powerful interpretability tool and an effective method for enhancing model robustness against OH across multiple benchmarks. Furthermore, our analysis uncovers limitations in existing OH evaluation metrics, underscoring the need for more nuanced, interpretable, and visually grounded OH benchmarks in future work.
