Researchers have introduced MultAttnAttrib, a novel method for generating attributions in multimodal question-answering systems without requiring additional training. This method utilizes a model's prefill pass, specific attention heads, and calibrated thresholds to pinpoint evidence within documents. To evaluate its effectiveness, a new benchmark dataset called MultAttrEval was created, featuring fine-grained attributions for answers grounded in multimodal sources. MultAttnAttrib demonstrates superior performance compared to existing attribution methods, including prompting-based approaches and even matching advanced models like GPT 5.4, while significantly reducing inference latency.
