Causal-HalBench: Uncovering LVLMs Object Hallucinations Through Causal Intervention

AAAI 2026technical

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) often suffer from object hallucination, making erroneous judgments about the presence of objects in images. We propose this primarily stems from spurious correlations arising when models strongly associate highly co-occurring objects during training, leading to h

Look Carefully: Adaptive Visual Reinforcements in Multimodal Large Language Models for Hallucination Mitigation

ICLR 2026poster

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in vision–language reasoning, yet they remain vulnerable to hallucination, where generated content deviates from the visual evidence. Existing mitigation strategies either demand costly supervision during training or introduc…

Res-Bench: Benchmarking the Robustness of Multimodal Large Language Models to Dynamic Resolution Input

AAAI 2026technical

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) increasingly support dynamic image resolutions. However, current evaluation paradigms primarily assess semantic performance, overlooking the critical question of resolution robustness - whether performance remains stable across varying input resolutions. To a

BACON: Improving Clarity of Image Captions via Bag-of-Concept Graphs

CVPR 2025poster

Advancements in large Vision-Language Models have brought precise, accurate image captioning, vital for advancing multi-modal image understanding and processing. Yet these captions often carry lengthy, intertwined contexts that are difficult to parse and frequently overlook essential cues, posing a…

Dynamic Multimodal Prototype Learning in Vision-Language Models

ICCV 2025poster

With the increasing attention to pre-trained vision-language models (VLMs), e.g., CLIP, substantial efforts have been devoted to many downstream tasks, especially in test-time adaptation (TTA). However, previous works focus on learning prototypes only in the textual modality while overlooking the am…

The Matrix: Infinite-Horizon World Generation with Real-Time Moving Control

NeurIPS 2025poster

We present The Matrix, a foundational realistic world simulator capable of generating infinitely long 720p high-fidelity real-scene video streams with real-time, responsive control in both first- and third-person perspectives. Trained on limited supervised data from video games like Forza Horizon 5…

Enhance Image Classification via Inter-Class Image Mixup with Diffusion Model

CVPR 2024poster

Text-to-image (T2I) generative models have recently emerged as a powerful tool enabling the creation of photo-realistic images and giving rise to a multitude of applications. However the effective integration of T2I models into fundamental image classification tasks remains an open question. A preva…

Inner Classifier-Free Guidance and Its Taylor Expansion for Diffusion Models

ICLR 2024poster

Classifier-free guidance (CFG) is a pivotal technique for balancing the diversity and fidelity of samples in conditional diffusion models. This approach involves utilizing a single model to jointly optimize the conditional score predictor and unconditional score predictor, eliminating the need for a…

Backdoor Defense via Deconfounded Representation Learning

CVPR 2023poster

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are recently shown to be vulnerable to backdoor attacks, where attackers embed hidden backdoors in the DNN model by injecting a few poisoned examples into the training dataset. While extensive efforts have been made to detect and remove backdoors from backdoored DNNs, it…

Bi-Directional Distribution Alignment for Transductive Zero-Shot Learning

CVPR 2023poster

It is well-known that zero-shot learning (ZSL) can suffer severely from the problem of domain shift, where the true and learned data distributions for the unseen classes do not match. Although transductive ZSL (TZSL) attempts to improve this by allowing the use of unlabelled examples from the unseen…

Generate What You Prefer: Reshaping Sequential Recommendation via Guided Diffusion

NeurIPS 2023poster

Sequential recommendation aims to recommend the next item that matches a user’s interest, based on the sequence of items he/she interacted with before. Scrutinizing previous studies, we can summarize a common learning-to-classify paradigm— given a positive item, a recommender model performs negative…
