The new ChartNet training dataset could improve the accuracy of vision-language models that help analyze business trends or interpret scientific figures.
arXiv:2606. 29808v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chart data extraction, which reverse-engineers data tables from chart images, is essential for reproducibility, analysis, retrieval, and redesign.
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:2604. 02794v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Charts are ubiquitous in scientific and financial literature for presenting structured data.
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.
DEEPCHART is a new benchmark that evaluates large language models (LLMs) on faithful data‑science chart generation. It contains 1,482 expert‑annotated instances from scientific papers, financial filings, and ecosystem reports, and assesses chart creation through an Extract–Reason–Visualize pipeline. Experiments show that while LLMs can produce visually plausible charts, they frequently hallucinate data at the extraction and reasoning stages, especially in long, noisy, and multimodal contexts.
arXiv:2607. 22600v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Information visualizations are widely used to communicate patterns, trends, and outliers, yet deceptive design choices-such as truncated or inverted axes, distorted aspect ratios, inappropriate encodings, and misleading color mappings-can systematically alter interpretation while preserving the underlying data.
arXiv:2607. 25021v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can connect visualization patterns to external causes, consequences, and domain knowledge, but the evidential basis of these interpretations is often unclear.
arXiv:2603. 28583v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite the success of Vision-Language Models (VLMs), misleading charts remain a significant challenge due to their deceptive visual structures and distorted data representations.
Short chart specifications are easy to write, but often produce uninspiring results. Flint is an open-source visualization language that offers a middle path, letting AI agents create expressive charts from compact, human-editable specifications.
arXiv:2607. 04726v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chart-to-code generation is commonly trained with supervised fine-tuning on reference plotting scripts, implicitly treating the gold code as a fully observable target.
Existing robot policies based on learned visual embeddings lack explicit structure and are sensitive to visual distractions. Thus, the representations that drive their behaviour are often opaque, making their decision-making process difficult to interpret.
arXiv:2606.22975v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Text-attributed graphs (TAGs) are widely used in many real-world domains, and learning on TAGs requires jointly modeling text semantics and graph s...
