摘要:
大型视觉-语言模型(LVLMs)面临语言先验与视觉证据之间的拉锯,常导致语义漂移:一种逐步脱离输入图像的现象。通过逐个token诊断,发现幻觉并非由缺乏基础候选词引起,而是由选择失败导致——模型在存在更基础的替代词时,仍选择语言上方便但视觉上不忠实的token。受此启发,我们提出动态logits校准(DLC),一种无需训练的解码框架,引入轻量级视觉 referee 在漂移发生时介入。在每一步,DLC对top-k候选词进行双方面基础检查:(1)评估候选词的内在视觉相关性;(2)其上下文视觉一致性。这些信号与自适应历史基线对比,计算相对视觉优势,进而动态校准logits,优先选择基础token。在CHAIR、POPE、SHR、GPT-4o评估和MME上的广泛实验表明,DLC在多个LVLMs中一致减少幻觉,同时保持响应质量。进一步分析验证了对不同视觉backbone的鲁棒性,并展示了候选池大小变化时输出质量与计算成本之间的有利权衡。代码将在https://github.com/JiaheChen2002/DLC上发布。
英文摘要:
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) face a tug-of-war between powerful linguistic priors and visual evidence, often leading to \emph{semantic drift}: a progressive detachment from the input image that can abruptly emerge at specific decoding steps. Through a token-level diagnosis, we show that hallucination is frequently triggered not by the absence of grounded candidates, but by a failure of selection -- the model chooses a linguistically convenient yet visually unfaithful token even when better grounded alternatives exist. Motivated by this insight, we propose \textbf{D}ynamic \textbf{L}ogits \textbf{C}alibration (DLC), a training-free decoding framework that introduces a lightweight visual referee to intervene exactly when drift happens. At each step, DLC performs a dual-aspect grounding check on top-$k$ candidates: (1) it assesses the intrinsic visual relevance of a candidate token and (2) its contextual visual coherence. These signals are evaluated against an adaptive historical baseline to compute a relative visual advantage, which is then used to dynamically calibrate logits and favor grounded tokens. Extensive experiments on CHAIR, POPE, SHR, GPT-4o evaluation, and MME demonstrate that DLC consistently reduces hallucinations across multiple LVLMs while preserving response quality. Further analyses validate robustness to different vision backbones and demonstrate a favorable trade-off between output quality and computational cost as the candidate pool size varies. Code will be released on https://github.com/JiaheChen2002/DLC.
