DocHop is a new benchmark that tests multimodal large language models on integrated chart‑context reasoning within document‑style images. The benchmark presents narrative text that imposes multi‑step compositional constraints, while charts supply the data needed to answer questions grounded in semantic reference labels. It contains 2,074 examples across six task categories, generated via a stochastic logic‑first pipeline that controls reasoning depth and visual density, and shows a large performance gap between humans (over 90% accuracy) and the best models (62.83%).

Large Language Models fail at implicit multi-hop reasoning: a model answers "When was $X$ born? " and "Who is $Y$'s closest friend?
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated rapidly improving long-context capabilities, prompting a wave of benchmarks designed to evaluate them. However, existing long-context evaluations - from Needle-in-a-Haystack (NIAH) tests to more recent multi-hop reasoning and summarization tasks - predominantly measure average-case performance, and many are either saturated or lack robustness.
Large Language Models struggle with implicit multi‑hop reasoning, correctly answering individual facts but failing to combine them in a single pass. In a controlled setting, the authors show that this failure persists even with high 1‑hop accuracy, indicating it is due to pretraining exposure rather than missing knowledge. They test nine data‑centric augmentation formats and find that only individuals seen in compositional contexts during pretraining enable transfer to unseen questions, proving exposure to such contexts is necessary for implicit multi‑hop reasoning.
