| Challenge: | Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) suffer from multimodal hallucinations . however, the generated hallucines could influence the models’ subsequent generation . |
| Approach: | They propose a framework to evaluate LVLMs' behaviors when encountering generated hallucinations and a method to revise the output distribution of LVLs with the one derived from the residual visual input. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework reduces the performance of open-source LVLMs by 31%, indicating that they are prone to accept the generated hallucinations and make false claims that they would not have supported without distractions. |

Dongqi Liu, Hang Ding, Qiming Feng, Xurong Xie, Zhucun Xue, Chengjie Wang, Jian Li, Jiangning Zhang, Yabiao Wang
| Challenge: | Existing RAG strategies treat retrieved passages in a flat and unstructured way, which prevents the model from capturing structural cues and constrains its ability to synthesize knowledge from dispersed evidence across documents. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that explicitly injects discourse signals into the generation process. |
| Outcome: | Experiments on question answering and long-document summarization benchmarks show the efficacy of the proposed framework. |
Ask Again, Then Fail: Large Language Models’ Vacillations in Judgment (2024.acl-long)
