Octopus introduces a novel methodology to reduce hallucinations in Large Vision-Language Models through dynamic contrastive decoding, replacing one-size-fits-all approaches with adaptive techniques.

• Customizes disturbance strategies based on input characteristics
• Provides more reliable and accurate model responses
• Significantly reduces the risk of AI systems generating fabricated information
• Enhances security by improving trustworthiness of AI-generated content

This research addresses critical security concerns by minimizing the risk of users receiving and acting upon fabricated information from AI systems, creating more reliable and safer AI applications.
