Not Blind but Silenced: Rebalancing Vision and Language via Adversarial Counter-Commonsense Equilibrium
During MLLM decoding, attention often abnormally concentrates on irrelevant image tokens. While existing research dismisses this as invalid noise and forcibly redirects attention to compel focusing on key image information, we argue these tokens are critical carriers of visual and narrative logic, and such coercive corrections exacerbate visual-language imbalance. Adopting a "decoding-as-game" perspective, we reveal that hallucinations stem from an equilibrium imbalance between linguistic priors and visual information. We propose Adversarial Counter-Commonsense Equilibrium (ACE), a training-free framework that perturbs visual context via counter-commonsense patches. Leveraging the fact that authentic visual features remain stable under perturbation while hallucinations fluctuate, ACE implements a dynamic game decoding strategy. This approach precisely suppresses perturbation-sensitive priors while compensating for stable visual signals to restore balance. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ACE, as a plug-and-play strategy, enhances model trustworthiness with negligible inference overhead.
