Researchers have identified a phenomenon in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) where the models initially make correct predictions based on visual input but then override this with textual information in later layers. This "late-layer textual override" can lead to errors in visually-grounded applications. The study proposes CALRD, a training-free method that detects and restores these overridden visual predictions, demonstrating significant performance improvements on conflict benchmarks across various MLLMs without requiring additional training.
