TIGER: Traceable Inference with Graph-Based Evidence Routing for Mitigating Hallucinations in Multimodal Generation

arXiv:2606.00232v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study fact-level repair for multimodal generation, where a fluent output may contain specific facts that are not supported by the input. Existing inference-time repair methods often generate feedback by jointly conditioning on the input and the current output. This design has two limitations: hallucinated claims in the output can bias the model's interpretation of the input, and free-form feedback cannot be ranked or scheduled at the fact level. We present TIGER, an inference-time framework that redesigns feedback for localized repair. TIGER
The proliferation of advanced AI agents highlights the critical need for verifiable and accurate outputs, precipitating research into mitigating foundational model limitations like hallucination at the fact level.
Reliable and bias-free AI outputs are crucial for trust and adoption across critical applications, making advancements in hallucination mitigation a key enabler for widespread AI integration and safety.
This research introduces a novel, localized approach to fact-level repair in multimodal AI generation, moving beyond broad output conditioning to targeted evidence routing for improved factual accuracy.
