Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made significant progress in chart understanding, generation, and editing, but their ability to annotate existing charts remains underexplored. Annotating charts is a common yet challenging communicative task, requiring models to infer intended messages, interpret chart semantics, and place appropriate textual or graphical elements.

arXiv:2607. 25021v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can connect visualization patterns to external causes, consequences, and domain knowledge, but the evidential basis of these interpretations is often unclear.
ChartRevise is a new dataset and evaluation protocol designed for exact chart editing via code. It contains 92,438 records covering 344 edit types across 20 chart types and three plotting libraries, built using the grammar of graphics and source‑program checks to ensure applicability. The protocol measures atomic requirement completion, detects gratuitous changes and missed coupled updates, and combines these with execution and rendering success to determine exact‑edit success.
ChartDensity-Bench is a benchmark designed to evaluate multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on their ability to reconstruct structured numerical data from scientific charts that vary in visual density. The benchmark uses charts paired with source-level ground-truth data and systematically changes the number of simultaneously presented charts (k = 1, 3, 6, 9) to assess how density affects reconstruction performance. A multi‑dimensional evaluation framework measures structural reliability, reconstruction completeness, parseability, and numerical fidelity, revealing that numerical reconstruction generally worsens as visual density increases, with varying degrees of degradation across different models.
arXiv:2510. 04514v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent multimodal LLMs have shown promise in chart-based visual question answering, but their performance declines sharply on unannotated charts-those requiring precise visual interpretation rather than relying on textual shortcuts.
arXiv:2607. 04726v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chart-to-code generation is commonly trained with supervised fine-tuning on reference plotting scripts, implicitly treating the gold code as a fully observable target.
