Overview of SHROOM-Visions 2026: A Shared Task on Hallucination Detection in Large Vision-Language Models

In 2026, we held the fourth iteration of the SHROOM Shared Task series: SHROOM-Visions (\textbf{S}hared-task on \textbf{H}allucinations and \textbf{R}elated \textbf{O}bservable \textbf{O}vergeneration \textbf{M}istakes in \textbf{Vision} language model\textbf{s}), which is hosted at the UncertaiNLP Workshop co-located with EMNLP 2026. Following the success of the 2024 and 2025 tasks, this time we aim to tackle hallucinations through a model-agnostic detection task focused on large vision-language models. Building on the recently introduced SHEEP dataset, designed for long-term evaluation across model generations, the task invites participants to detect and classify fine-grained hallucination spans in image-conditioned text generation (VQA, image captioning, etc.). The evaluation uses a five-class taxonomy of hallucinations spanning four languages: Chinese, English, French, and Italian. The shared task generated strong interest in the NLP community worldwide, with 27 teams contributing 600+ system submissions. The best systems achieve average scores of 0.58 in character-level correlation, 0.46 in label-conditioned correlation, and 0.51 in intersection-over-union (IoU) across four languages, outperforming the baselines by 30-40 points.

Can Humans Dream of Electric Sheep? Human-Written Samples for Fine-Grained Vision-and-Language Hallucination Benchmarking

In an age of rapid model turnover, how do we make hallucination evaluation more perennial? We explore whether human-written hallucination samples could take the place of model-generated hallucinations, in order to make benchmarking detection independent of particular models. To this end, we construct a dataset of 1,600 human-written samples, spanning four languages (Chinese, English, French, Italian), and 18,400 samples from five vision-and-language models, all annotated for hallucinations using a fine-grained span-level labeling scheme. We find that human-written samples result in higher agreement and allow greater control of dataset contents, while remaining distributionally similar to samples derived from vision-and-language samples and providing a reasonable portrayal of detection capabilities - suggesting that human data is a viable substitute for model-based hallucination benchmarks.
