Visual Attention Drifts,but Anchors Hold:Mitigating Hallucination in Multimodal Large Language Models via Cross-Layer Visual Anchors

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.25088v1 Announce Type: new Multimodal Large Language Models often suffer from object hallucination. While existing research utilizes attention enhancement and visual retracing, we find these works lack sufficient interpretability regarding attention drift in final model stages. In this paper, we investigate the layer wise evolution of visual features and discover that hallucination stems from deep layer attention regressing toward initial visual noise from early layers.
