arXiv:2502. 11140v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have become a cornerstone for automated visualization code generation, enabling users to create charts through natural language instructions.
arXiv:2609.26208v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data visualization is central to analytical reasoning, but real-world analysis increasingly requires language-driven interactive interfaces rather than...
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:2510. 04514v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent multimodal LLMs have shown promise in chart-based visual question answering, but their performance declines sharply on unannotated charts-those requiring precise visual interpretation rather than relying on textual shortcuts.
arXiv:2604. 02794v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Charts are ubiquitous in scientific and financial literature for presenting structured data.
OmniHarness is a framework that enables generalizable visual generation by learning symbolic policies from verified executions. It abstracts shared procedures and applicability conditions, allowing these policies to be instantiated, adapted, and composed for new tasks while keeping model parameters fixed. The system uses intermediate verification for refinement, self-directed inquiry to generate practice tasks, and continuous feedback to expand capabilities, achieving strong results on multiple benchmarks and outperforming baselines on Creative tasks.
Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown strong capabilities in generating visualization code from textual or visual specifications. However, real-world visualization authoring is inherently iterative: users frequently revise existing visualizations to repair flawed charts or adapt them to desired styles.
arXiv:2607. 24766v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can generate individual charts, but coordinated multi-view visualizations (CMVs), where views share data flows and cross-view interactions, remain out of reach.
ATP‑Bench proposes a new benchmark for evaluating agentic tool planning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that generate interleaved text-and-image responses. The benchmark contains 7,702 QA pairs, including 1,592 visual‑question‑answer pairs, across eight categories and 25 visual‑critical intents, all verified by humans. A Multi‑Agent MLLM‑as‑a‑Judge (MAM) system is introduced to assess tool‑call precision, missed opportunities, and overall response quality without relying on ground‑truth references.
arXiv:2511. 17731v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting has proven remarkably effective for eliciting complex reasoning in large language models (LLMs).
Automatic data visualization generation has advanced rapidly with multi-modal large language models, yet existing efforts largely focus on static charts and overlook the interactive dashboards commonly used for real-world data exploration. We introduce Dashboard2Code, a novel task that requires a model to proactively explore an interactive dashboard, acquire and integrate feedback from its own interactions (e.
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.
The paper surveys Multimodal Code Intelligence, focusing on tasks where code is generated, edited, refined, or reasoned about under visually grounded inputs such as screenshots, charts, and videos. It categorizes the field by the role of code—rendered artifact, editable structure, intermediate reasoning trace, or executable tool interface—and organizes benchmarks into four domains: Graphical User Interface, Scientific Visualization, Structured Graphics, and Frontier Tasks and Frameworks. The authors argue that reliable evaluation must include evidence of semantics and interaction beyond visual fidelity, and propose four verification-centered research directions to advance the field toward evidence-grounded executable systems.
