SPARK is introduced, which uses hidden-state response to diagnose whether a model internally enters an effective reasoning state and to guide lightweight test-time steering, and suggests that susceptibility can serve not only as a diagnostic signal for reasoning failures, but also as a practical guide for targeted test-time intervention.

This work proposes FADE (FFN Attenuation for DEcoding), a training-free method that attenuates FFN outputs to reduce language-prior dominance and shows that FADE effectively mitigates hallucinations while preserving inference efficiency.

SeeMe is proposed, a training-free framework that introduces the concept of feature engineering from traditional machine learning into LVLMs and restructures visual tokens through a three-stage token engineering process to suppress hallucination sources while preserving informative visual evidence.
