CHASD: Language Increment-Calibrated Contrastive Decoding against Hallucination in LVLMs
The paper presents CHASD, a new framework designed to reduce hallucinations in Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs). It introduces a method that activates contrastive decoding only when necessary, improving inference efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate that CHASD outperforms existing training-free baselines in hallucination-related metrics.
- ▪CHASD stands for Contrastive Hallucination-Aware Step-wise Decoding.
- ▪The framework uses an uncertainty-driven confidence gate to optimize decoding steps.
- ▪Experiments show that CHASD improves performance on several benchmarks.
