Chart2SVG: Editable SVG Generation from Raster Chart Images

Chart2SVG is a multimodal large language model that transforms static raster chart images into editable SVGs enriched with semantic structure. By embedding chart‑specific semantic tokens into a vision‑language framework and training on the Beagle+ dataset of 33K distilled chart samples, the model captures both geometric primitives and their functional roles. The resulting SVGs are visually accurate and structurally consistent, and the accompanying Chart Structure Graph (CSG) exposes visual dependencies for interactive exploration, chart repurposing, and layout reuse.

Multimodal Thinking with Renderable Programs

The paper introduces SVGLM, a framework that integrates scalable vector graphics (SVG) primitives into vision‑language models to enable image generation within reasoning tasks. By treating SVG both as image descriptions and text instructions, SVGLM offers a compact and interpretable method for connecting text and image reasoning. The authors provide a curated SVG‑based image editing dataset and demonstrate strong SVG generation and image‑aware reasoning performance on a mathematical benchmark.

Bernini: Latent Semantic Planning for Video Diffusion

Bernini proposes a unified framework that separates semantic planning and pixel rendering for video generation and editing. An MLLM-based planner predicts target semantics in ViT embedding space, while a DiT-based renderer synthesizes pixels conditioned on this plan, text features, and source VAE features for editing. The approach introduces Segment-Aware 3D Rotary Positional Embedding and chain-of-thought reasoning, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on diverse video benchmarks.

Reasoning with Image Generation

The paper introduces ReImaGin, a method that uses image generation models as a flexible visual reasoning tool for multimodal large language models. Unlike traditional fixed-function vision tools, ReImaGin accepts natural language commands and can perform open-ended visual operations such as removing occlusions or creating floorplans from multiple views. Experiments on six diverse visual reasoning tasks show that ReImaGin outperforms both text-only reasoning and specialist vision-tool baselines, achieving up to a 25% improvement.

SVG-Score: Human-Aligned Evaluation of Text-to-SVG Generation

SVG-Score introduces a human‑aligned evaluation framework for text‑to‑SVG generation, addressing the shortcomings of existing image‑based metrics like CLIPScore that poorly capture SVG‑specific errors such as color, count, and spatial inaccuracies. The authors first demonstrate that CLIP‑based scores are largely insensitive to these errors and that generic Vision‑Language Models respond inconsistently across error types and styles. They then present a human‑annotated Semantic Alignment dataset and develop two complementary evaluators: a CLIP‑based scorer adapted to vector graphics and a VLM judge refined through supervised fine‑tuning and reward‑shaped reinforcement learning, enabling both fast large‑scale and expressive, interpretable assessment of SVG generators.

The authors first demonstrate that CLIP‑based scores are largely insensitive to these errors and that off‑the‑shelf Vision‑Language Models respond unevenly across error types and styles. They then create a human‑annotated Semantic Alignment dataset and develop two evaluators: a CLIP scorer adapted to vector graphics and a VLM judge trained with supervised fine‑tuning and reinforcement learning, enabling both fast large‑scale and expressive, interpretable assessment of SVG generators.

MV-STRIDE: Enabling MLLMs to Master Multi-View Spatial Reasoning via Hierarchical Capability Modeling

MV-STRIDE is a Multi‑View hierarchical Spatial Reasoning dataset that models dependencies among perception, scene understanding, and contextual reasoning to support 3D spatial cognition. It introduces a QA generation pipeline that enforces cross‑view constraints, producing multi‑level reasoning tasks with chain‑of‑thought supervision. Experiments show that training on MV‑STRIDE yields state‑of‑the‑art performance on multi‑view spatial benchmarks, enabling MLLMs to reason robustly across diverse viewpoints.
