解决大模型生成时的重复和视觉定位失效问题
Mitigating Mask Prior Drift and Positional Attention Collapse in Large Diffusion Vision-Language Models

- 通过抑制掩码先验和单调旋转位置编码,缓解生成过程中的偏差
- 在长文本描述任务上显著提升生成质量与视觉对齐度
- 无需训练、可直接插入多种模型,适合实际部署
大尺度扩散视觉语言模型(LDVLMs)虽具备并行解码和全局上下文建模优势,但在长序列生成中仍存在重复生成和视觉定位退化问题。本文揭示两个根源:一是生成初始为掩码令牌,其隐藏表示随生成步数逐渐漂向同一先验方向;二是位置注意力偏置与迭代去掩码过程不匹配,抑制了对关键视觉标记的关注。为此提出无需训练的轻量级方案,引入掩码先验抑制与单调旋转位置编码缩放,有效缓解上述问题。在通用多模态基准和视觉定位任务上的实验表明,该方法在长文本描述任务中实现稳健提升,且可适配多种架构,具有良好的泛化性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large diffusion vision-language models (LDVLMs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to autoregressive models, enabling parallel decoding for efficient inference and leveraging bidirectional attention for global context. Despite these advances, their behavior under long-form generation remains underexplored. In this work, we show that existing LDVLMs suffer from repetitive generation and degraded visual grounding, and identify two underlying causes. First, repetitive generation originates from a mask token prior: since generation tokens are initialized as mask tokens, their hidden representations progressively drift toward a shared prior direction over generation steps. Second, a fundamental misalignment between the positional attention bias and the iterative unmasking process suppresses attention toward informative visual tokens, degrading visual grounding. Based on these insights, we propose a training-free approach, introducing Mask Prior Suppression and Monotonic RoPE Scaling to mitigate mask prior drift and positional attention collapse during decoding. Experiments on general multimodal benchmarks and visual grounding tasks demonstrate improvements over baseline LDVLMs, with robust gains on long-form description benchmarks. Our results show that these failures can be effectively addressed with a lightweight, plug-and-play strategy that requires no additional training and generalizes across diverse LDVLM architectures.
