Large audio-video language models can generate descriptions for both video and audio. However, they sometimes ignore audio content, producing audio descriptions solely reliant on visual information. This paper refers to this as audio hallucinations and analyzes them in large audio-video language models. We gather 1,000 sentences by inquiring about audio information and annotate them whether they contain hallucinations. If a sentence is hallucinated, we also categorize the type of hallucination. The results reveal that 332 sentences are hallucinated with distinct trends observed in nouns and verbs for each hallucination type. Based on this, we tackle a task of audio hallucination classification using pre-trained audio-text models in the zero-shot and fine-tuning settings. Our experimental results reveal that the zero-shot models achieve higher performance (52.2% in F1) than the random (40.3%) and the fine-tuning models achieve 87.9%, outperforming the zero-shot models.

  3. Probing Cross-modal Information Hubs in Audio-Visual LLMs

    cs.AI 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    AVLLMs encode integrated audio-visual information primarily in specialized cross-modal sink tokens, which enables a training-free hallucination mitigation approach.

  4. Probing Cross-modal Information Hubs in Audio-Visual LLMs

    cs.AI 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    AVLLMs store integrated audio-visual information mainly in a distinct subset of sink tokens called cross-modal sink tokens, which can be leveraged for training-free hallucination mitigation.
