Findings
- IC-001Vision-language models perform near chance on the NL-Eye visual abductive reasoning benchmark
- IC-002Even when VLMs select the correct hypothesis, their explanations are often invalid or unhelpful
- IC-025LMMs exhibit poor fine-grained perception in locating individual characters on original oracle bones
- IC-026LLMs can assist in OB rejoining by identifying rejoinable fragments with moderate accuracy, but are not yet truly usable
- IC-027LMM performance in deciphering oracle bone inscriptions is comparable to untrained humans for common characters but declines for rarer and structurally complex characters
- IC-106Logit lens on LLaVA and InstructBLIP image representations shows higher internal confidence for objects present in the image than for hallucinated objects
- IC-107Linear orthogonalization of LLaVA and InstructBLIP image features against text embeddings removes hallucinated objects at 83-86% individual rate versus 7-16% for correctly detected objects
- IC-119The number of salient hallucination heads decreases as model size increases within the LLaVA family
- IC-163LLaVA-1.5, LLaVA-Next, and GPT-4V show near-zero accuracy on GUI grounding benchmarks while achieving 50-85 on general image grounding (RefCOCO+), indicating a failure mode specific to GUI grounding scenarios
- IC-276All 14 evaluated VLMs show a large gap between average-case and worst-case accuracy on DynaMath variants, with worst-case at or below 50% of average-case, and the failures are systematic rather than random
- IC-415VLMs show a default shape bias (47.9-73.8%) that exceeds their vision encoders and vision-only models but falls short of human levels (96%), with the LLM component rather than the encoder responsible for suppressing one visual cue.
- IC-416Natural language prompts can steer the texture/shape bias in VLMs in both directions without significantly affecting accuracy, with texture-biased prompts more effective than shape-biased ones; this steering also generalizes to low/high-frequency bias.
- IC-456VLM decoders achieve near-random accuracy on VALSE image-sentence alignment while pairwise accuracy is much higher, indicating reliance on linguistic priors
- IC-457All four tested VLM decoders are heavily text-centric when generating answers, with text modality contributing 85-97% of the prediction signal
- IC-458Most VLM decoders show negative CC-SHAP on VALSE multiple-choice, indicating their explanations are less self-consistent than their answers, driven by a shift from text-dominant to image-dominant processing
- IC-480Pre-trained M-LLMs (GPT-4o, LLaVA-v1.6-34B, InternVL2-26B, Qwen2-VL-7B) produce imprecise tampering explanations when artifacts require fine-grained pixel-level analysis such as lighting or perspective inconsistencies
- IC-495All evaluated multimodal foundation models achieve average non-hallucination accuracy below 50% across six hallucination scenarios
- IC-497Text-to-image models experience performance drops exceeding 10% under adversarial prompts, with spatial reasoning being the most vulnerable task across all models
