MHSA: A Lightweight Framework for Mitigating Hallucinations via Steered Attention in LVLMs

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have achieved remarkable performance across diverse multimodal tasks, yet they continue to suffer from hallucinations, generating content that is inconsistent with the visual input. Prior work DHCP (Detecting Hallucinations by Cross-modal Attention Pattern) has explored hallucination detection from the perspective of cross-modal attention, but does not address hallucination mitigation. In this paper, we propose MHSA (Mitigating Hallucinations via Steered Attention), a lightweight framework that mitigates hallucinations by learning to correct cross-modal attention patterns in LVLMs. MHSA trains a simple three-layer MLP generator to produce corrected attention, guided by supervisory signals from the DHCP discriminator and the LVLM itself. During inference, MHSA mitigates both discriminative and generative hallucinations across various datasets and LVLMs by simply replacing the original cross-modal attention with the corrected one, without modifying any LVLM parameters. By extending cross-modal attention mechanisms from hallucination detection to hallucination mitigation, MHSA offers a novel perspective on hallucination research in LVLMs and helps enhance their reliability.

TransMamba: A Sequence-Level Hybrid Transformer-Mamba Language Model

Transformers are the cornerstone of modern large language models, but their quadratic computational complexity limits efficiency in long-sequence processing. Recent advancements in Mamba, a state space model (SSM) with linear complexity, offer promising efficiency gains but suffer from unstable contextual learning and multitask generalization. Some works conduct layer-level hybrid structures that combine Transformer and Mamba layers, aiming to make full use of both advantages. This paper proposes TransMamba, a novel sequence-level hybrid framework that unifies Transformer and Mamba through shared parameter matrices (QKV and CBx), and thus could dynamically switch between attention and SSM mechanisms at different token lengths and layers. We design the Memory Converter to bridge Transformer and Mamba by converting attention outputs into SSM-compatible states, ensuring seamless information flow at TransPoints where the transformation happens. The TransPoint scheduling is also thoroughly explored for balancing effectiveness and efficiency. We conducted extensive experiments demonstrating that TransMamba achieves superior training efficiency and performance compared to single and hybrid baselines, and validated the deeper consistency between Transformer and Mamba paradigms at sequence level, offering a scalable solution for next-generation language modeling.

Inflected Forms Are Redundant in Question Generation Models

Neural models with an encoder-decoder framework provide a feasible solution to Question Generation (QG). However, after analyzing the model vocabulary we find that current models (both RNN-based and pre-training based) have more than 23\% inflected forms. As a result, the encoder will generate separate embeddings for the inflected forms, leading to a waste of training data and parameters. Even worse, in decoding these models are vulnerable to irrelevant noise and they suffer from high computational costs. In this paper, we propose an approach to enhance the performance of QG by fusing word transformation. Firstly, we identify the inflected forms of words from the input of encoder, and replace them with the root words, letting the encoder pay more attention to the repetitive root words. Secondly, we propose to adapt QG as a combination of the following actions in the encode-decoder framework: generating a question word, copying a word from the source sequence or generating a word transformation type. Such extension can greatly decrease the size of predicted words in the decoder as well as noise. We apply our approach to a typical RNN-based model and \textsc{UniLM} to get the improved versions. We conduct extensive experiments on SQuAD and MS MARCO datasets. The experimental results show that the improved versions can significantly outperform the corresponding baselines in terms of BLEU, ROUGE-L and METEOR as well as time cost.
