📝 摘要(中文)
在视觉语言模型(VLMs)的推理过程中,错误正例(FP)推理会导致模型产生正确答案但遵循错误推理路径,从而降低推理的可靠性。现有方法主要依赖于提示工程、知识蒸馏或强化学习来提高推理可靠性,但这些方法需要大量高质量数据,限制了实际应用。为了解决这些问题,本文提出了ViFP框架,通过多轮问答构建有效的推理路径,并动态分析推理路径的一致性以识别潜在的FP。此外,ViFP引入了针对性的推理链修正机制,以修改FP推理,从而提高逻辑一致性和准确性。实验结果表明,ViFP在多个数据集上均显著提升了性能。

📄 摘要(原文)
During reasoning in vision-language models (VLMs), false positive (FP) reasoning occurs when a model produces the correct answer but follows an incorrect reasoning path, resulting in undermined reasoning reliability. Existing approaches mainly rely on prompt engineering, knowledge distillation or reinforcement learning to improve reasoning reliability, both of which require large amounts of high-quality data and thus limit practical applicability. Few approaches have focused on directly detecting and correcting FPs. To address these issues, we propose ViFP, a framework for Visual False Positive Detection to Enhance Reasoning Reliability in VLMs. ViFP builds effective reasoning paths through multi-turn QA and dynamically analyzes the consistency of the reasoning path to identify potential FPs. It also introduces a targeted reasoning chain correction mechanism to modify FP reasoning, thereby improving logical consistency and accuracy. Finally, we introduce a reliability evaluation metric, VoC, which integrates answer accuracy and the FP rate, providing a quantitative tool to assess whether a VLM not only answers correctly but also reasons reliably. Our experiments on closed-source VLMs show that ViFP consistently improves performance across three datasets: A-OKVQA, OK-VQA, and FVQA. On A-OKVQA, ViFP improves accuracy by up to 5.4%, surpassing the previous state-of-the-art by 4.3%, and significantly reduces the number of FPs, validating its benefits in enhancing reasoning reliability.
