Variational Visual Question Answering for Uncertainty-Aware Selective Prediction

Researchers demonstrate that variational Bayesian methods significantly improve Vision Language Models' reliability for Visual Question Answering tasks by enabling selective prediction with reduced hallucinations and overconfidence. The proposed Variational VQA approach shows particular strength at low error tolerances and offers a practical path to making large multimodal models safer without proportional computational costs.

LEC: Linear Expectation Constraints for Selection-Conditioned Risk Control in Selective Prediction and Routing Systems

Researchers propose LEC (Linear Expectation Constraints), a framework for controlling prediction errors in foundation models by setting user-specified risk thresholds. The method enables selective prediction systems and multi-model routing architectures to maintain statistical guarantees on error rates while maximizing the number of accepted predictions, with applications spanning QA and vision tasks.
