arXiv:2603. 16250v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LVLMs encounter significant challenges in image understanding and visual reasoning, leading to critical perception failures.
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.
arXiv:2604. 09508v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Visual Retrieval-Augmented Generation (VRAG) empowers Vision-Language Models to retrieve and reason over visually rich documents.
arXiv:2511. 16107v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Visual in-context learning (VICL) solves visual tasks by conditioning on a few input-output demonstrations without any model training.
arXiv:2607. 24354v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic prompt optimization (APO) has been widely adopted to adapt vision-language models (VLMs) to downstream tasks without weight updates, yielding promising results.
arXiv:2607. 05382v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual generators excel at rendering, but they confidently fabricate what they do not know.
arXiv:2602. 15278v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The web is littered with images, once created for human consumption and now increasingly interpreted by agents using vision-language models (VLMs).
arXiv:2509. 06461v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable success across diverse visual tasks, yet their performance degrades in complex visual environments.
arXiv:2602. 00593v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite progress on general tasks, vision-language models (VLMs) still struggle with challenges that demand both fine-grained visual grounding and external knowledge, a synergy overlooked by existing benchmarks that evaluate these abilities in isolation.
arXiv:2606. 04046v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In embodied vision-language decision making tasks such as robotic manipulation and navigation, Vision-Language and Vision-Language-Action Models (VLMs & VLAs) are powerful tools with different benefits: VLMs are better at long-term planning, while VLAs are better at reactive control.
arXiv:2606. 00096v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual agents employ external visual tools within visual chains of thought to incorporate fine-grained evidence.
arXiv:2608. 10827v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical visual agents can use tools to inspect images and retrieve external knowledge, but indiscriminate tool use may introduce noisy or misleading evidence.
arXiv:2608. 09666v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in visual generative models have enabled high-quality image and video generation, but evaluating these models often demands sampling hundreds or thousands of images or videos, which is computationally expensive.
