The authors trace this to models trusting language-based expectations over what the image actually shows. They propose Vision-Language Introspection (VLI), a training-free method applied at inference time. ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Xuming Hu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xuming-hu/) ×3 - [Yibo Yan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yibo-yan/) ×3 - [Shuliang Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shuliang-liu/) ×2 - [James Tin-Yau Kwok](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/james-tin-yau-kwok/) - [Jiahao Huo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiahao-huo/) - [Yi Cao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yi-cao/) - [Yuqi Tang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yuqi-tang/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [Workshop on Advances in Language and Vision Research (ALVR)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/alvr/): [ALVR 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/alvr/2026/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 5 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [1 citing paper with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xin-zou/cited-by/).
