Self-improvement for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is typically driven by reward-based methods that provide only coarse scalar feedback. Distillation offers a richer alternative through dense token-level supervision, but in the visual domain it usually depends on privileged context constructed using external annotations and tools, or stronger models.
PreviewDiff is a test‑time search method that uses multimodal critics to guide diffusion model sampling. By decoding partial previews at selected denoising checkpoints, scoring them with a multimodal judge, and branching over semantic prompt edits, it allows the generation process to be edited and rerouted before completion. The approach consistently outperforms budget‑matched Best‑of‑N sampling and scalar‑search baselines on image and video benchmarks, with early interventions and wider search yielding the biggest gains.

Visual Information-Guided Parallel Decoding for Diffusion Multimodal Large Language Models introduces the VIG‑Sampler, a method that prioritizes tokens for decoding based on their attention to image tokens and penalizes redundancy in image‑attention distributions. The approach aims to improve the quality of multimodal generation by selecting more informative tokens during diffusion decoding. Experiments on seven captioning and VQA benchmarks with three open‑source dMLLMs show that VIG‑Sampler outperforms the Info‑Gain Sampler by an average of 19.3 CIDEr points and achieves better COCO Caption results using only half as many decoding steps.

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.
The paper presents a reproducible single‑subject baseline for reconstructing visual stimuli from EEG using a temporal‑spatial convolutional encoder that maps averaged EEG signals to 512‑dimensional ViT-B/32 image features. On the THINGS‑EEG2 dataset, the model achieves 12.83%, 39.17%, and 58.00% image recall at ranks 1, 5, and 10, respectively, outperforming analytical chance levels. The study also shows that performance drops sharply when applying a model trained on one subject to others, and that direct conditional generators without external visual weights produce noise‑dominated outputs, indicating that only coarse semantic decoding is feasible under the tested protocol.
