Hallucination issues continue to affect multimodal large language models (MLLMs), with existing research mainly addressing object-level or attribute-level hallucinations, neglecting the more complex relation hallucinations that require advanced reasoning. Current benchmarks for relation hallucinations lack detailed evaluation and effective mitigation, and their datasets often suffer from biases due to systematic annotation processes. To address these challenges, we introduce Reefknot, a comprehensive benchmark targeting relation hallucinations, comprising over 20,000 real-world samples. We provide a systematic definition of relation hallucinations, integrating perceptive and cognitive perspectives, and construct a relation-based corpus using the Visual Genome scene graph dataset. Our comparative evaluation reveals significant limitations in current MLLMs' ability to handle relation hallucinations. Additionally, we propose a novel confidence-based mitigation strategy, which reduces the hallucination rate by an average of 9.75% across three datasets, including Reefknot. Our work offers valuable insights for achieving trustworthy multimodal intelligence.

  1. Unveiling the Response of Large Vision-Language Models to Visually Absent Tokens

    cs.CV 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Feed-forward neurons in LVLMs encode whether a text token is visually grounded, and a detector built on these neurons can reduce hallucination by overriding or replacing ungrounded tokens.

  2. Measuring Epistemic Humility in Multimodal Large Language Models

    cs.CV 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new 22,831-question visual benchmark shows that major multimodal LLMs struggle to reject false answer options, often scoring near random when abstaining is the only correct response.

  3. GM-PRM: A Generative Multimodal Process Reward Model for Multimodal Mathematical Reasoning

    cs.CL 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A generative multimodal process reward model that produces step-level critiques and corrections improves average math accuracy for six multimodal LLMs by 2.9 to 5.9 points under a refinement-based Best-of-N strategy.

    cs.CL 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A student-teacher multi-agent pipeline with positive-only feedback improves QWK agreement with human essay scores by 21% on a multimodal benchmark, with gains concentrated in traits where baselines were weakest.
