- 通过反事实图像测试模型是否该分割或放弃。
- 新基准可检测视觉幻觉,使幻觉减少30%。
- 适合关注视觉理解可靠性的研究者。
分割型视觉语言模型虽显著提升了视觉理解能力,但仍易产生像素级幻觉,即对错误对象或完全不存在的对象生成掩码。现有评估主要依赖文本或标签扰动,仅检验预测掩码是否匹配查询标签,忽视了幻觉的空间范围和严重程度,因而无法揭示更复杂且普遍的视觉驱动型幻觉。为此,本文提出反事实分割推理(CSR)任务:模型需在真实图像中分割目标对象,并在对应的反事实图像中拒绝分割。为支持该任务,我们构建了首个大规模基准 HalluSegBench,通过受控的视觉反事实图像诊断指代与推理表达中的分割幻觉,并引入新评估指标,量化幻觉严重性并区分视觉与语言驱动的失败模式。我们进一步提出 RobustSeg 模型,采用反事实微调(CFT)训练,学习何时应分割、何时应放弃。实验表明,RobustSeg 将幻觉降低 30%,同时在 FP-RefCOCO(+/g) 上提升分割性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Segmentation Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have significantly advanced grounded visual understanding, yet they remain prone to pixel-grounding hallucinations, producing masks for incorrect objects or for objects that are entirely absent. Existing evaluations rely almost entirely on text- or label-based perturbations, which check only whether the predicted mask matches the queried label. Such evaluations overlook the spatial footprint and severity of hallucination and therefore fail to reveal vision-driven hallucinations, which are more challenging and more prevalent. To address this gap, we formalize the task of Counterfactual Segmentation Reasoning (CSR), where a model must segment the referenced object in the factual image and abstain in its counterfactual counterpart. To support this task, we curate HalluSegBench, the first large-scale benchmark to diagnose referring and reasoning expression segmentation hallucinations using controlled visual counterfactuals, alongside new evaluation metrics that measure hallucination severity and disentangle vision- and language-driven failure modes. We further introduce RobustSeg, a segmentation VLM trained with counterfactual fine-tuning (CFT) to learn when to segment and when to abstain. Experimental results confirm RobustSeg reduces hallucinations by 30%, while improving segmentation performance on FP-RefCOCO(+/g).
