ReactBench: A Cause-Driven Benchmark for Multimodal Hallucination via Systematic Evaluation
While multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved rapid progress in vision-language understanding, they remain prone to multimodal hallucinations, producing responses that are inconsistent with the visual input. Existing benchmarks predominantly focus on detecting hallucination outcomes rather than evaluating the underlying causes of these failures. Moreover, many benchmarks rely on simplistic scenarios and limited evaluation formats that no longer challenge state-of-the-art models. To address these limitations, we introduce ReactBench, a cause-driven hallucination benchmark featuring multiple tasks and an exam-style evaluation format. By generating adversarial images and hallucination-inducing queries, ReactBench introduces four targeted tasks: Relational Erasure, Counterfactual Attribute, Alteration Tracing, and Dense Counting. These tasks systematically expose co-occurrence bias, language priors, cross-image comparative perception deficiencies, and fine-grained perceptual bottlenecks. Beyond standard accuracy-based evaluation, we leverage Chain-of-Thought reasoning to identify fine-grained sub-causes of hallucination within each task. Extensive evaluations reveal that current MLLMs remain notably vulnerable to cause-specific hallucination triggers, demonstrating the value of ReactBench as a systematic and interpretable testbed for diagnosing and improving multimodal model robustness.
