ViD: Vision-Dominant Gender Bias Mitigation for Large Vision-Language Models

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 15, 2026 · UTC

Gender bias in large vision-language models (LVLMs) undermines their fairness and reliability, compromising output trustworthiness. Current mitigation methods rely on training-phase adjustments or post-hoc calibration, but face limitations in dynamic visual bias mitigation. These include inability to capture real-time visual-textual incongruence, dependence on predefined gender bias taxonomies, and degraded cross-modal alignment with emergent bias patterns. To address these challenges, we propose ViD, a causally-inspired framework that analyzes attention mechanisms across five distinct pattern
