  1. Shallow Focus, Deep Fixes: Enhancing Shallow Layers Vision Attention Sinks to Alleviate Hallucination in LVLMs (2025 · 14 citations)
    The paper investigates why large vision-language models (LVLMs) hallucinate, focusing on attention over image tokens, which make up most of the input.
  2. From Redundancy to Relevance: Information Flow in LVLMs Across Reasoning Tasks (2025 · 12 citations)
    Large vision-language models (LVLMs) turn each image into hundreds of tokens before passing it to an LLM. How those visual tokens actually shape the generated answer has been unclear. The authors study this "information flow", meaning how strongly system, image and user-prompt tokens influence answer tokens, layer by…
  3. ART: Attention Replacement Technique to Improve Factuality in LLMs (2026 · 1 citation)
    This paper links hallucination in LLMs to the way attention is distributed in the earliest layers. Inspecting attention maps of shallow layers (e.g., Layer 0 of Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct on a GSM8K sample), the authors group heads into three types. Uniform heads spread weight evenly over the context, local heads look…
  4. On the Step Length Confounding in LLM Reasoning Data Selection (2026 · 1 citation)
    The paper looks at naturalness-based selection of supervised fine-tuning data for long chain-of-thought reasoning.
  5. Reasoning Fails Where Step Flow Breaks (2026 · 1 citation)
    Large reasoning models (LRMs) produce long question–thinking–summary traces, but their mistakes are hard to trace back to specific parts of the reasoning.
