ADAPT: Attention Dynamics Alignment with Preference Tuning for Faithful MLLMs
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are critically hampered by hallucination, generating content inconsistent with the provided image. In this paper, we identify an internal signature of hallucination: progressive degradation of text-to-image cross-attention during generation, leading to specific failure patterns like unfocused or biased attention. Existing mitigation strategies are largely outcome-driven and do not explicitly target this failure mode. To address this problem, we propose AD
