ProjLens shows that backdoor parameters in MLLMs are encoded in low-rank subspaces of the projector and that embeddings shift toward the target direction with magnitude linear in input norm, activating only on poisoned samples.
Hallucinations in LVLMs largely arise from textual priors in prompts, and can be reduced by fine-tuning with preference optimization on grounded vs. hallucinated response pairs.
A training-free method that steers specific attention heads toward caption-query states reduces object hallucination in LVLMs by ~6% on average across five benchmarks.
A 22M-parameter hyperbolic model answers structured EHR questions with accuracy close to LLM-based systems (EHRXQA 89.5%, MIMIC-Instr 76.0%).
The survey organizes causes of hallucinations in MLLMs, reviews evaluation benchmarks and metrics, and outlines mitigation approaches plus open questions.
