摘要:
大型视觉-语言模型(LVLMs)在视觉推理任务中表现优异,但易受幻觉影响。现有检测方法依赖于整体图像层面的对象令牌相关性测量,但这种全局策略受限:幻觉令牌可能在许多局部区域表现出弱但广泛散播的相关性,导致整体相关性高而逃避当前检测。我们提出基于细粒度令牌交互的检测框架,发现幻觉令牌的两个特征:(i)产生扩散的非局部注意力模式,与忠实令牌的紧凑注意力不同;(ii)无法与任何视觉区域形成有意义的语义对齐。基于这些发现,我们开发了一种轻量且可解释的检测方法,结合补丁级统计特征和隐藏层表示,实现90%的令牌级幻觉检测准确率,证明细粒度结构分析在检测幻觉中的优越性。
英文摘要:
Large vision-language models (LVLMs) achieve strong performance on visual reasoning tasks but remain highly susceptible to hallucination. Existing detection methods predominantly rely on coarse, whole-image measures of how an object token relates to the input image. This global strategy is limited: hallucinated tokens may exhibit weak but widely scattered correlations across many local regions, which aggregate into deceptively high overall relevance, thus evading the current global hallucination detectors. We begin with a simple yet critical observation: a faithful object token must be strongly grounded in a specific image region. Building on this insight, we introduce a patch-level hallucination detection framework that examines fine-grained token-level interactions across model layers. Our analysis uncovers two characteristic signatures of hallucinated tokens: (i) they yield diffuse, non-localized attention patterns, in contrast to the compact, well-focused attention seen in faithful tokens; and (ii) they fail to exhibit meaningful semantic alignment with any visual region. Guided by these findings, we develop a lightweight and interpretable detection method that leverages patch-level statistical features, combined with hidden-layer representations. Our approach achieves up to 90% accuracy in token-level hallucination detection, demonstrating the superiority of fine-grained structural analysis for detecting hallucinations.
