Transferring Textual Preferences to Vision-Language Understanding through Model Merging
cs.CL cs.AI cs.CV cs.LG
Large vision-language models (LVLMs) perform outstandingly across various multimodal tasks. However, their ability to evaluate generated content remains limited, and training vision-language reward models (VLRMs) with preference data is computationally expensive. This paper explores a training-free alternative by mer...

What are Models Thinking about? Understanding Large Language Model Hallucinations "Psychology" through Model Inner State Analysis
cs.CL cs.AI
Large language model (LLM) systems suffer from the models' unstable ability to generate valid and factual content, resulting in hallucination generation. Current hallucination detection methods heavily rely on out-of-model information sources, such as RAG to assist the detection, thus bringing heavy additional latenc...
