arXiv:2604. 16557v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Current post-training methodologies for adapting Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) generally fall into two paradigms: Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Reinforcement Learning (RL).
The paper introduces selective adaptation for vision‑language models, questioning whether test‑time adaptation (TTA) should always be applied. By analyzing per‑sample predictions before and after adaptation, the authors find that many adaptations are negligible or even harmful, flipping correct predictions. They propose Cross‑Augmentation Similarity (CAS), which skips adaptation when predictions across augmented views are highly similar, achieving comparable or better accuracy while reducing adaptation by up to 85%.

The paper introduces Personalized Group Relative Policy Optimization (P‑GRPO), a new alignment framework for large language models that separates advantage estimation from immediate batch statistics. By normalizing advantages using preference‑group‑specific reward histories instead of the concurrent generation group, P‑GRPO maintains contrastive signals for distinct user preferences. Experiments across various tasks show that P‑GRPO converges faster and yields higher rewards than standard GRPO, improving alignment with heterogeneous human preferences while preserving general capabilities.
The paper introduces Reflection-Aware GRPO (RA‑GRPO), a reinforcement‑learning framework that aligns diffusion generative models with human preferences. It uses Diffusion Reflection to correct intermediate sampling paths by reversing the diffusion process, and Counterfactual Path Synthesis to embed these corrected trajectories into the policy, avoiding extra inference cost. Experiments on text‑to‑image and text‑to‑video models show RA‑GRPO outperforms existing methods, reducing reward hacking and improving generalization while remaining architecture‑agnostic.
arXiv:2606. 20244v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) often underperform on evidence intensive tasks because decisive visual evidence are small, localized, and easy to overlook, leading to failures in evidence readout even when high-level reasoning is intact.
The paper introduces TTIQ, a test‑time reinforcement learning framework that improves vision‑language model (VLM) adaptation by explicitly measuring image‑question dependence. By teacher‑forcing responses on the original and ablated image‑question pairs, TTIQ derives token‑level likelihood changes to estimate how much each input contributes, then uses these signals to construct a reward that favors jointly grounded, confident responses. Experiments on eight VQA datasets and various VLM sizes show that TTIQ consistently outperforms prior consensus‑based methods and generalizes across model families and unseen datasets.

arXiv:2606. 14299v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) such as CLIP have become a standard backbone for open-vocabulary recognition, yet their zero-shot predictions remain vulnerable to distribution shifts encountered at deployment.
