Being Kind Isn't Always Being Safe: Diagnosing Affective Hallucination in LLMs

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly engaged in emotionally vulnerable conversations that extend beyond information seeking to moments of personal distress. As they adopt affective tones and simulate empathy, they risk creating the illusion of genuine relational connection. We term this phenomenon Affective Hallucination, referring to emotionally immersive responses that evoke false social presence despite the model's lack of affective capacity. To address this, we introduce AHaBench, a benchmark of 500 mental-health-related prompts with expert-informed reference responses, evaluated along three dimensions: Emotional Enmeshment, Illusion of Presence, and Fostering Overdependence. We further release AHaPairs, a 5K-instance preference dataset enabling Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) for alignment with emotionally responsible behavior. DPO fine-tuning substantially reduces affective hallucination without compromising reasoning performance, and the Pearson correlation coefficients between GPT-4o and human judgments is also strong (r=0.85) indicating that human evaluations confirm AHaBench as an effective diagnostic tool. This work establishes affective hallucination as a distinct safety concern and provides resources for developing LLMs that are both factually reliable and psychologically safe. AHaBench and AHaPairs are accessible via https://huggingface.co/datasets/o0oMiNGo0o/AHaBench, and code for fine-tuning and evaluation are in https://github.com/0oOMiNGOo0/AHaBench. Warning: This paper contains examples of mental health-related language that may be emotionally distressing.

LogicQA: Logical Anomaly Detection with Vision Language Model Generated Questions

Anomaly Detection (AD) focuses on detecting samples that differ from the standard pattern, making it a vital tool in process control. Logical anomalies may appear visually normal yet violate predefined constraints on object presence, arrangement, or quantity, depending on reasoning and explainability. We introduce LogicQA, a framework that enhances AD by providing industrial operators with explanations for logical anomalies. LogicQA compiles automatically generated questions into a checklist and collects responses to identify violations of logical constraints. LogicQA is training-free, annotation-free, and operates in a few-shot setting. We achieve state-of-the-art (SOTA) Logical AD performance on public benchmarks, MVTec LOCO AD, with an AUROC of 87.6 percent and an F1-max of 87.0 percent along with the explanations of anomalies. Also, our approach has shown outstanding performance on semiconductor SEM corporate data, further validating its effectiveness in industrial applications.

Bidirectional Multimodal Prompt Learning with Scale-Aware Training for Few-Shot Multi-Class Anomaly Detection

Few-shot multi-class anomaly detection is crucial in real industrial settings, where only a few normal samples are available while numerous object types must be inspected. This setting is challenging as defect patterns vary widely across categories while normal samples remain scarce. Existing vision-language model-based approaches typically depend on class-specific anomaly descriptions or auxiliary modules, limiting both scalability and computational efficiency. In this work, we propose AnoPLe, a lightweight multimodal prompt learning framework that removes reliance on anomaly-type textual descriptions and avoids any external modules. AnoPLe employs bidirectional interactions between textual and visual prompts, allowing class semantics and instance-level cues to refine one another and form class-conditioned representations that capture shared normal patterns across categories. To enhance localization, we design a scale-aware prefix trained on both global and local views, enabling the prompts to capture both global context and fine-grained details. In addition, alignment loss propagates local anomaly evidence to global features, strengthening the consistency between pixel- and image-level predictions. Despite its simplicity, AnoPLe achieves strong performance on MVTec-AD, VisA, and Real-IAD under the few-shot multi-class setting, surpassing prior approaches while remaining efficient and free from expert-crafted anomaly descriptions. Moreover, AnoPLe generalizes well to unseen anomalies and extends effectively to the medical domain.
