arXiv:2608. 03464v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made significant progress in chart understanding, generation, and editing, but their ability to annotate existing charts remains underexplored.
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:2606. 00370v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diverse genomics data, scientific questions, and analysis tasks typically demand highly specialized visualizations.

arXiv:2607. 04727v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic data visualization generation has advanced rapidly with multi-modal large language models, yet existing efforts largely focus on static charts and overlook the interactive dashboards commonly used for real-world data exploration.
Automatic data visualization generation has advanced rapidly with multi-modal large language models, yet existing efforts largely focus on static charts and overlook the interactive dashboards commonly used for real-world data exploration. We introduce Dashboard2Code, a novel task that requires a model to proactively explore an interactive dashboard, acquire and integrate feedback from its own interactions (e.
The paper investigates how large language models (LLMs) interpret ambiguous or incomplete text prompts for visualization authoring and introduces visual prompts as a complementary modality to improve precision. An empirical study informs the design of VisPilot, a system that allows users to create visualizations using text, sketches, and direct manipulation. A controlled user study and expert evaluation show that multimodal prompts help users convey spatial constraints, local references, and design preferences while maintaining task efficiency comparable to text-only prompting.
Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown strong capabilities in generating visualization code from textual or visual specifications. However, real-world visualization authoring is inherently iterative: users frequently revise existing visualizations to repair flawed charts or adapt them to desired styles.

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%).
