Researchers have developed a self-verification pipeline to address hallucinated citations in video question-answering systems powered by vision-language models. These systems often confidently present timestamped claims that are not supported by the referenced frames, misleading users. The proposed pipeline involves an initial retrieval-augmented language model that drafts answers with timestamp citations, followed by an independent re-examination of each cited frame. Experiments showed that directly asking the vision model to verify claims was ineffective due to sycophancy, while a small natural language inference model proved to be a stable and interpretable verifier, successfully identifying 79% of fabricated claims in adversarial scenarios without flagging true claims.
