abstract
Since data annotation is costly, benchmark datasets often incorporate labels from established image datasets. In this work, we assess the impact of label errors in MSCOCO on the frequently used object hallucination benchmark POPE. We re-annotate the benchmark images and identify an imbalance in annotation errors across different subsets. Evaluating multiple models on the revised labels, which we denote as RePOPE, we observe notable shifts in model rankings, highlighting the impact of label quality. Code and data are available at https://github.com/YanNeu/RePOPE .

TRACE’s fixed-k cross-entropy mask search and COPAIR’s coarse-pair warm-start raise search-based visual attribution faithfulness and enable high single-point RePOPE repair rates.
VLMs show language-prior reliance via multi-stage bottlenecks in visual retrieval and suppression, with many benchmark examples remaining answerable under severe visual obfuscation.
