Look Clearly Before Answering: Mitigating Hallucinations in LVLMs via Saliency-Driven Perceptual Realignment

Pengxu Chen, Yao Zhu, Guangming Zhu, Jun Sheng, Jincai Huang, Xiangyang Ji, et al.

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in multimodal understanding. However, they remain prone to hallucinations, generating responses that are inconsistent with the visual evidence. Existing mitigation methods largely address language-prio…

Representation Robustness Under Executable Reasoning Constraints in Large Language Models for Mathematical Problem Solving

Sagnik Nath, Edith Aurora Graf, Liang Zhang, Diego Zapata-Rivera

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly evaluated on mathematical problem solving, yet prior work often treats representationally equivalent formulations as interchangeable and conflates reasoning errors with interface failures. This paper investigates representation robust…

Direction-Magnitude Decomposition for Low-Rank Matrix Optimization: Faster Convergence and Saddle-to-saddle Dynamics

Yudong Wei, Liang Zhang, Bingcong Li, Niao He

Low-rank matrix optimization is often carried out via the Burer-Monteiro (BM) formulation, but choosing the factorization rank $r$ is delicate and can substantially slow optimization. We propose a unified framework, termed direction-magnitude decomposition (DMD), that decomposes…

TrajRS: Towards Certified Robustness in Pedestrian Trajectory Prediction

Liang Zhang, Gaojie Jin, Yao Shi, Quanzhi Li, Cheng-Chao Huang, David N. Jansen, et al.

The robustness of trajectory prediction models is crucial for developing safe autonomous driving systems. Adversarial attacks on trajectory prediction can significantly impair the accuracy of predicted trajectories, leading to hazardous driving behaviors. While heuristic defense…

ReaORE: Reasoning-Guided Progressive Open Relation Extraction Empowered by Large Reasoning Models

Xin Lin, Liang Zhang, Guoqi Ma, Hongyao Tu, Jinsong Su

Open Relation Extraction (OpenRE) requires a model to extract unseen relations between head and tail entities from unstructured text for real-world applications. The core challenge of OpenRE lies in achieving reliable generalization to unseen relation types. Current OpenRE approa…

Bridging Vision and Language Concepts through Optimal Transport Semantic Flow

Chenyang Zhang, Anqi Dong, Guangming Zhu, Nuoye Xiong, Siyuan Wang, Lin Mei, et al.

Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) promise transparent reasoning by predicting through human-interpretable concepts, yet their effectiveness fundamentally depends on how well visual and textual representations are aligned or matched. Existing vision-language CBMs often rely on pre-…
