The paper introduces a new benchmark for evaluating Multi‑Modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) on visual negation understanding, focusing on safety-critical scenarios. It defines the Scene Negation Understanding under Safety Cognition (SNUS) task and presents a high‑fidelity negative caption dataset that maps dense assertions of localized hazards. The authors also propose the Cognitive Expected Scene Graph (CESG) Score, a polarity‑aware, structure‑grounded metric that remains robust under semantic reversals, revealing that existing models and traditional metrics fail on this task.
arXiv:2606. 05177v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing multimodal safety benchmarks focus solely on visual inputs and cannot assess Omni Large Language Models (LLMs) that process vision, audio, and text.
The paper introduces Cognitive Chain-of-Thought (CoCoT), a structured reasoning framework for vision‑language models that divides multimodal social reasoning into three cognitively inspired stages: Perception, Situation, and Norm. CoCoT improves performance across diverse tasks—multimodal intent disambiguation, theory of mind, social commonsense reasoning, and safety instruction following—by 5.9% to 4.6% on average. Fine‑tuning on CoCoT‑structured traces further boosts accuracy by 5–6% without explicit prompting, indicating that models internalize the structured reasoning pattern and that the approach enhances interpretability and social alignment in multimodal systems.
arXiv:2608. 10954v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate impressive performance in benign scenarios, their cognitive reliability deteriorates significantly in complex scenes under adverse conditions.
Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for autonomous driving scene understanding, yet existing methods still face a fundamental trade-off between temporal reasoning and spatial precision. Models that rely on single-frame or low-resolution inputs often miss small, distant, or partially occluded hazards, while language-centric driving models frequently provide limited grounded evidence for their explanations.

The paper introduces ReasonCVS, a structured reasoning framework for assessing the Critical View of Safety in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It uses a Vision‑Language Model to build an Anatomical Scene Graph Abstraction and a Large Language Model–based Rationale‑Aware Reasoning Agent to verify sub‑criteria, producing a final verdict with traceable clinical rationale. Experiments on the Endoscapes‑CVS201 benchmark show ReasonCVS outperforms existing methods with a 68.1% mAP while offering interpretable, criterion‑level explanations.
