Despite the recent breakthroughs achieved by Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) in understanding and responding to complex visual-textual contexts, their inherent hallucination tendencies limit their practical application in real-world scenarios that demand high levels of precision. Existing methods typically either fine-tune the LVLMs using additional data, which incurs extra costs in manual annotation and computational resources or perform comparisons at the decoding stage, which may eliminate useful language priors for reasoning while introducing inference time overhead. Therefore, we propose ICT, a lightweight, training-free method that calculates an intervention direction to shift the model's focus towards different levels of visual information, enhancing its attention to high-level and fine-grained visual details. During the forward pass stage, the intervention is applied to the attention heads that encode the overall image information and the fine-grained object details, effectively mitigating the phenomenon of overly language priors, and thereby alleviating hallucinations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ICT achieves strong performance with a small amount of data and generalizes well across different datasets and models. Our code will be public.

  1. HypEHR: Hyperbolic Modeling of Electronic Health Records for Efficient Question Answering

    cs.AI 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    HypEHR is a hyperbolic embedding model for EHR data that uses Lorentzian geometry and hierarchy-aware pretraining to answer clinical questions nearly as well as large language models but with much smaller size.

  2. Can Large Multimodal Models Actively Recognize Faulty Inputs? A Systematic Evaluation Framework of Their Input Scrutiny Ability

    cs.CV 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Large multimodal models mostly fail to proactively detect flawed textual premises, and their performance depends on error type and on how they weight text versus images.

  3. Modality Bias in LVLMs: Analyzing and Mitigating Object Hallucination via Attention Lens

    cs.CV 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Modality bias, an imbalanced attention to text or image during hallucinated outputs, is shown to be mitigated by a training-free attention intervention plus contrastive decoding.

  4. GrAInS: Gradient-based Attribution for Inference-Time Steering of LLMs and VLMs

    cs.CL 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    GrAInS uses Integrated Gradients to identify the most influential tokens, then builds layer-wise steering vectors that improve truthfulness, reduce hallucination, and preserve general capabilities in LLMs and VLMs.

  5. HypEHR: Hyperbolic Modeling of Electronic Health Records for Efficient Question Answering

    cs.AI 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A 22M-parameter hyperbolic model answers structured EHR questions with accuracy close to LLM-based systems (EHRXQA 89.5%, MIMIC-Instr 76.0%).
