DEEPO: Dual-Entropy Enhanced Policy Optimization for Hallucination in MLLMs

arXiv:2609.28570v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) is widely used to sharpen reasoning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), yet its effect on hallucination is uneven. We trace this to two weak points in the \emph{correction chain} from reward to parameter update. At the rollout level, hard queries---those with high semantic entropy---frequently produce unanimously wrong sample groups, collapsing the group-relative advantage to zero exactly where hallucination risk is highest. At the optimization level, confident-but-wrong tokens are gradient-invisible: a categorical policy's expected score-gradient norm vanishes as its distribution sharpens, so the prediction
