Abstract
While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress across diverse tasks, they suffer from hallucinations where generated outputs contradict or misrepresent input semantics. Existing research typically addresses hallucination detection within a single modality or task type, limiting generalizability. We introduce OmniHallu, a unified hallucination detection framework spanning both comprehension and generation tasks across image, video, and audio modalities. We contribute OmniHallu-Bench, a 10,000-sample benchmark with claim-level human annotations covering six cross-modal tasks: image-to-text (I2T), video-to-text (V2T), audio-to-text (A2T), text-to-image (T2I), text-to-video (T2V), and text-to-audio (T2A). Our multi-agent architecture decomposes model outputs into atomic claims, verifies them through modality-specific experts, and aggregates evidence via structured reasoning. We further propose a preference-optimized trainable verifier that approximates the multi-agent decision boundary, reducing expert calls by 66% with minimal performance loss. Extensive experiments reveal a consistent modality-dependent performance gradient and provide fine-grained insights into cross-modal hallucination patterns.
