SIEVES: Selective Prediction Generalizes through Visual Evidence Scoring

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.25855v1 Announce Type: new Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) achieve ever-stronger performance on visual-language tasks. Even as traditional visual question answering benchmarks approach saturation, reliable deployment requires satisfying low error tolerances in real-world out-of-distribution (OOD) scenarios. Precisely, selective prediction aims to improve coverage, i.e. the share of inputs the system answers, while adhering to a user-defined risk level.
