提出新评估框架HOPE,更精准发现视觉语言模型的幻觉漏洞。

What Makes "Good" Distractors for Object Hallucination Evaluation in Large Vision-Language Models?

  • 基于图像内容和描述生成误导性干扰项,替代旧方法的简单采样。
  • 在多个顶尖模型上使准确率下降9%至23%,显著高于传统基准。
  • 适合研究模型幻觉防御或评测鲁棒性的研究人员使用。

大型视觉语言模型(LVLM)虽性能优异,但仍存在生成与图像内容不符对象的幻觉问题。现有主流评估基准POPE采用基于类别统计的简单采样策略,仅限于负类对象,已难以有效评估当前先进模型。本文提出霍拉西翁搜索式对象探测评估(HOPE),通过内容感知的幻觉搜索机制,利用CLIP近似LVLM预测行为,选择最可能被误判的负对象作为干扰项;同时引入描述型幻觉搜索,将真实对象与错误描述配对生成高度误导性干扰项。实验表明,HOPE在多种前沿LVLM上使准确率下降至少9%、最高达23%,显著优于POPE,能更严格地暴露模型幻觉弱点。代码已开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs), empowered by the success of Large Language Models (LLMs), have achieved impressive performance across domains. Despite the great advances in LVLMs, they still suffer from the unavailable object hallucination issue, which tends to generate objects inconsistent with the image content. The most commonly used Polling-based Object Probing Evaluation (POPE) benchmark evaluates this issue by sampling negative categories according to category-level statistics, \textit{e.g.}, category frequencies and co-occurrence. However, with the continuous advancement of LVLMs, the POPE benchmark has shown diminishing effectiveness in assessing object hallucination, as it employs a simplistic sampling strategy that overlooks image-specific information and restricts distractors to negative object categories only. In this paper, we introduce the Hallucination searching-based Object Probing Evaluation (HOPE) benchmark, aiming to generate the most misleading distractors (\textit{i.e.}, non-existent objects or incorrect image descriptions) that can trigger hallucination in LVLMs, which serves as a means to more rigorously assess their immunity to hallucination. To explore the image-specific information, the content-aware hallucination searching leverages Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training (CLIP) to approximate the predictive behavior of LVLMs by selecting negative objects with the highest predicted likelihood as distractors. To expand the scope of hallucination assessment, the description-based hallucination searching constructs highly misleading distractors by pairing true objects with false descriptions. Experimental results show that HOPE leads to a precision drop of at least 9\% and up to 23\% across various state-of-the-art LVLMs, significantly outperforming POPE in exposing hallucination vulnerabilities.
