Title: Hallucination-aware intermediate representation edit in large vision-language models

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.29405v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Vision-Language Models have demonstrated exceptional performance in multimodal reasoning and complex scene understanding. However, these models still face significant hallucination issues, where outputs contradict visual facts. Recent research on hallucination mitigation has focused on retraining methods and Contrastive Decoding (CD) methods. While both methods perform well, retraining methods require substantial training resources, and CD
