Recent Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have achieved significant progress yet frequently suffer from visual hallucinations, often stemming from an over-reliance on language priors rather than visual evidence. Existing decoding-based approaches often rely on input perturbations to weaken language priors, but they do not explicitly decouple visual evidence from mixed vision–language representations. To address these limitations, we propose DiVE (Decoupling intra-layer Visual Evidence). DiVE dynamically identifies layers enriched with visual information and performs intra-layer decoupling to extract aggregated visual evidence. By suppressing this evidence to construct a language-prior-dominated reference distribution, DiVE employs contrastive decoding to calibrate the output logits, thereby mitigating hallucinations. Extensive experiments across diverse LVLM architectures demonstrate that DiVE achieves state-of-the-art performance among decoding-based methods on multiple benchmarks. Crucially, it eliminates the latency of an extra forward pass, offering a lightweight and efficient solution.

Chinese word segmentation (CWS) is undoubtedly an important basic task in natural language processing. Previous works only focus on the textual modality, but there are often audio and video utterances (such as news broadcast and face-to-face dialogues), where textual, acoustic and visual modalities normally exist. To this end, we attempt to combine the multi-modality (mainly the converted text and actual voice information) to perform CWS. In this paper, we annotate a new dataset for CWS containing text and audio. Moreover, we propose a time-dependent multi-modal interactive model based on Transformer framework to integrate multi-modal information for word sequence labeling. The experimental results on three different training sets show the effectiveness of our approach with fusing text and audio.

In realistic scenarios, a user profiling model (e.g., gender classification or age regression) learned from one social media might perform rather poorly when tested on another social media due to the different data distributions in the two media. In this paper, we address cross-media user profiling by bridging the knowledge between the source and target media with a uniform user embedding learning approach. In our approach, we first construct a cross-media user-word network to capture the relationship among users through the textual information and a modified cross-media user-user network to capture the relationship among users through the social information. Then, we learn user embedding by jointly learning the heterogeneous network composed of above two networks. Finally, we train a classification (or regression) model with the obtained user embeddings as input to perform user profiling. Empirical studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach to two cross-media user profiling tasks, i.e., cross-media gender classification and cross-media age regression.
