Researchers have developed a new method called Causal-Invariant Masking (CIM) to better quantify epistemic uncertainty in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). This approach aims to address the issue of MLLMs hallucinating by distinguishing between uncertainty arising from data ambiguity and uncertainty stemming from model limitations. The proposed Semantic Divergence metric, along with its faster proxy Expected Embedding Drift (EED), has demonstrated state-of-the-art performance on various benchmarks, with EED offering a significant speedup.
