通过动态判断模型内部信心,让视觉问答更可靠。

Multimodal Adaptive Retrieval Augmented Generation through Internal Representation Learning

  • 基于视觉与文本联合表征,动态决定是否使用外部知识
  • 在三个VQA数据集上显著提升回答准确率
  • 适合需要减少幻觉的多模态问答场景

视觉问答系统因幻觉问题存在可靠性缺陷,即生成的答案与视觉输入或事实知识不符。尽管检索增强生成框架通过引入外部知识缓解此问题,但静态检索常导致无关或矛盾信息被引入,尤其在视觉RAG场景中,可能检索到视觉相似但语义错误的证据。为此,我们提出多模态自适应RAG(MMA-RAG),通过分析模型内部知识置信度,动态决定是否将检索到的外部信息融入生成过程。MMA-RAG的核心是一个通过分层分析训练的决策分类器,利用联合的内部视觉与文本表示来指导逆向图像检索。实验表明,该模型在三个VQA数据集上均实现显著性能提升;消融实验也证实内部表示在自适应检索决策中的关键作用。总体而言,实验结果证明MMA-RAG能有效平衡外部知识利用与推理鲁棒性,在多样化多模态场景中表现优异。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Visual Question Answering systems face reliability issues due to hallucinations, where models generate answers misaligned with visual input or factual knowledge. While Retrieval Augmented Generation frameworks mitigate this issue by incorporating external knowledge, static retrieval often introduces irrelevant or conflicting content, particularly in visual RAG settings where visually similar but semantically incorrect evidence may be retrieved. To address this, we propose Multimodal Adaptive RAG (MMA-RAG), which dynamically assesses the confidence in the internal knowledge of the model to decide whether to incorporate the retrieved external information into the generation process. Central to MMA-RAG is a decision classifier trained through a layer-wise analysis, which leverages joint internal visual and textual representations to guide the use of reverse image retrieval. Experiments demonstrated that the model achieves a significant improvement in response performance in three VQA datasets. Meanwhile, ablation studies highlighted the importance of internal representations in adaptive retrieval decisions. In general, the experimental results demonstrated that MMA-RAG effectively balances external knowledge utilization and inference robustness in diverse multimodal scenarios.
