When does a large language model (LLM) know what it does not know? Uncertainty quantification (UQ) provides measures of uncertainty, such as an estimate of the confidence in an LLM's generated output, and is therefore increasingly…

Current training-free methods tackle MLLM hallucination with separate strategies: either enhancing visual signals or suppressing text inertia. However, these separate methods are insufficient due to critical trade-offs: simply enhancing…
