Although Multimodal Large Language Models have achieved strong performance across a wide range of vision-language tasks, they still suffer from hallucinations, where model outputs become inconsistent with the visual content, textual context, or commonsense knowledge. Existing studies primarily address this problem through coarse-grained detection. However, these approaches often provide insufficient diagnostic information for understanding hallucination types and supporting downstream hallucination mitigation. To bridge this gap, we propose fine-grained hallucination diagnosis for MLLMs, a new unified task that jointly performs hallucination detection, classification, and interpretable explanation generation. We develop an automated data generation pipeline and construct HalluScope-30K, a large-scale diagnostic dataset covering eight sources and five task categories. Based on this dataset, we design a multi-granular joint reward function and train two diagnosis models, HalluScope-4B and HalluScope-8B, which achieve state-of-the-art performance on both the MHALO benchmark and our fine-grained hallucination classification benchmark. Notably, detection and classification are mutually beneficial under joint optimization. Furthermore, diagnosis-driven feedback experiments show that the fine-grained diagnostic explanations produced by our model effectively guide target models to correct their hallucinations, with full diagnosis substantially outperforming all baselines on both Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct and LLaVA-1.5-7B.
Flow matching based video generative models have been increasingly relying on prepended Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to handle complex, instruction-based video editing. The prevailing assumption underlying this paradigm is that a connector module can seamlessly align the VLM's rich multi-modal reasoning with the original text embedding space of DiTs. However, we hypothesize that this alignment acts as a severe semantic bottleneck, degrading fine-grained structural variables. Verifying this is challenging, as end-to-end evaluations conflate alignment failures with generation errors, and natural datasets lack disentangled annotations. To rigorously investigate this, we propose a controlled data processing pipeline based on video composition that results in TRACE-Edit, a diagnostic dataset focusing on relation-based editing. Leveraging this dataset, we propose a comprehensive diagnostic protocol to analyze two important designs of meta-query and connector in the existing video editing models. Systematic evaluation of four representative model cases reveals that fine-grained structural semantics can be severely degraded during alignment. Our findings overturn the assumption of lossless semantic transfer, identifying the VLM-to-DiT alignment as a major bottleneck and providing a new diagnostic foundation for future multi-modal alignment architectures.
