Researchers have introduced VISE, the first benchmark designed to evaluate sycophantic behavior in video large language models (Video-LLMs). Sycophancy, where models align with user input despite contradicting visual evidence, poses a risk to the trustworthiness of these models. VISE aims to provide a systematic evaluation across various question types and reasoning tasks, incorporating linguistic perspectives on sycophancy into the video domain. The paper also proposes two training-free mitigation strategies: enhancing visual grounding and using inference-time interventions on internal representations. AI
