ConVis: Contrastive Decoding with Hallucination Visualization for Mitigating Hallucinations in Multimodal Large Language Models

AAAI 2025technical

Hallucinations in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) where generated responses fail to accurately reflect the given image pose a significant challenge to their reliability. To address this, we introduce ConVis, a novel training-free contrastive decoding method. ConVis leverages a text-to-image…

Is `Right' Right? Enhancing Object Orientation Understanding in Multimodal Large Language Models through Egocentric Instruction Tuning

CVPR 2025poster

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) act as essential interfaces, connecting humans with AI technologies in multimodal applications. However, current MLLMs face challenges in accurately interpreting object orientation in images due to inconsistent orientation annotations in training data, hinder…

The RAG Paradox: A Black-Box Attack Exploiting Unintentional Vulnerabilities in Retrieval-Augmented Generation Systems

EMNLP 2025

With the growing adoption of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, various attack methods have been proposed to degrade their performance. However, most existing approaches rely on unrealistic assumptions in which external attackers have access to internal components such as the retriever. T

Learning with Noisy Labels by Efficient Transition Matrix Estimation to Combat Label Miscorrection

ECCV 2022poster

"Recent studies on learning with noisy labels have shown remarkable performance by exploiting a small clean dataset. In particular, model agnostic meta-learning-based label correction methods further improve performance by correcting noisy labels on the fly. However, there is no safeguard on the lab…

Meet Your Favorite Character: Open-domain Chatbot Mimicking Fictional Characters with only a Few Utterances

NAACL 2022long

In this paper, we consider mimicking fictional characters as a promising direction for building engaging conversation models. To this end, we present a new practical task where only a few utterances of each fictional character are available to generate responses mimicking them. Furthermore, we propo…

Temporal Knowledge Distillation for on-device Audio Classification

ICASSP 2022accepted

Improving the performance of on-device audio classification models remains a challenge given the computational limits of the mobile environment. Many studies leverage knowledge distillation to boost predictive performance by transferring the knowledge from large models to on-device models. However,…

Disentangling Label Distribution for Long-Tailed Visual Recognition

CVPR 2021poster

The current evaluation protocol of long-tailed visual recognition trains the classification model on the long-tailed source label distribution and evaluates its performance on the uniform target label distribution. Such protocol has questionable practicality since the target may also be long-tailed.…

Distilling the Knowledge of Large-scale Generative Models into Retrieval Models for Efficient Open-domain Conversation

EMNLP 2021finding

Despite the remarkable performance of large-scale generative models in open-domain conversation, they are known to be less practical for building real-time conversation systems due to high latency. On the other hand, retrieval models could return responses with much lower latency but show inferior p…
