arXiv:2606. 01287v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent latent visual reasoning methods achieve substantial gains by inserting continuous latent tokens into multimodal language models.
arXiv:2603. 25629v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While language reasoning models excel in many tasks, visual reasoning remains challenging for current large multimodal models (LMMs).
Latent visual reasoning (LVR) inserts supervised latent tokens between perception and answer generation in vision-language models (VLMs). The field uses alignment between these latents and their visual targets, i.
arXiv:2511. 19418v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) excel at reasoning in linguistic space but struggle with perceptual understanding that requires dense visual perception, e.
arXiv:2602. 00462v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Transforming a large language model (LLM) into a vision-language model (VLM) can be achieved by mapping the visual tokens from a vision encoder into the embedding space of an LLM.
arXiv:2604. 09757v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Medical vision--language models (VLMs) have shown strong potential for medical visual question answering (VQA), yet their reasoning remains largely text-centric: images are encoded once as static context, and subsequent inference is dominated by language.
arXiv:2604. 14888v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in vision language models (VLMs) offer reasoning capabilities, yet how these unfold and integrate visual and textual information remains unclear.
arXiv:2601. 10129v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Current multimodal latent reasoning often relies on external supervision (e.
arXiv:2608. 15869v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models increasingly use visual chain-of-thought (Visual CoT) to reason about spatial, temporal, and embodied environments.
arXiv:2606. 26535v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current VLM evaluations often conflate language priors with genuine spatial reasoning.
arXiv:2608. 04124v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video question answering requires models to ground language queries in visual evidence and, when necessary, reason over that evidence across time.
arXiv:2602. 02465v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Frontier models are transitioning from multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that merely ingest visual information to unified multimodal models (UMMs) capable of native interleaved generation.
Current VLM evaluations often conflate language priors with genuine spatial reasoning. To address this, we introduce CRISP, a novel structural-diagnostic evaluation paradigm that assesses visual spatial intelligence through consistency, the alignment between implicit perception and explicit reasoning.
