CURV: Enhancing Chart Understanding Through Curriculum Visual Grounded Reasoning

arXiv:2608. 02833v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chart question answering (CQA) requires multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to integrate visual comprehension with logical reasoning, yet current models struggle with accurate visual grounding and coherent reasoning chains.

V-REX: Benchmarking Exploratory Visual Reasoning via Chain-of-Questions

arXiv:2512. 11995v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While many vision-language models (VLMs) are developed to answer well-defined, straightforward questions with highly specified targets, as in most benchmarks, they often struggle in practice with complex open-ended tasks, which usually require multiple rounds of exploration and reasoning in the visual space.

RASFT: Rollout-Adaptive Supervised Fine-Tuning for Reasoning

arXiv:2606. 07006v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) is a prevailing method for adapting large language models to reasoning tasks by imitating offline expert demonstrations, often treating a single expert trajectory as the target behavior.
