Region-Level Policy Optimization for Fine-grained MLLM Perception

The paper introduces Vision‑RL2, a region‑level reinforcement learning approach that optimizes a lightweight proposal network for fine‑grained multimodal large language model (MLLM) perception. By treating coherent image regions as actions and scoring them with a frozen MLLM reader, the method selectively focuses visual resolution on evidence, reducing token usage while improving accuracy across multiple benchmarks and backbones. The approach eliminates the need for region annotations, response sampling, or reasoning trajectories, and the refined proposals enable sparse encoding that magnifies relevant evidence.

SPARCL: Spatially Adaptive Regional Coverage for Active Learning in Chest X-ray Analysis

SPARCL (Spatially Adaptive Regional Coverage for Active Learning) is a new active learning strategy for chest X‑ray lesion segmentation that balances predictive uncertainty with spatial coverage using a concave coverage function. It directs annotation effort toward under‑labeled regions, reverts to standard uncertainty sampling when spatial variation is absent, and guarantees near‑optimal greedy batch selection through a monotone submodular objective. The authors also propose Spatial Inconsistency and Performance Coverage metrics to reveal regional fairness, and demonstrate that SPARCL achieves 95% of fully supervised performance using only 24% of the data versus 29% for the best baseline.

UniEvo-RS: Omni-Prompt Unified Remote Sensing Segmentation with Representative Exemplar-Driven Prototype Evolution

Prompt-driven vision-language models (VLMs) hold immense promise for accelerating dense remote sensing (RS) annotation, but static models suffer from severe performance degradation when deployed on novel scenes, unseen categories, or visually confusing backgrounds. Moreover, existing unified paradigms primarily rely on intra-image specific prompts, lacking flexible task routing to adapt to multi-intent operational workflows.
