Order Matters: LVLMs as Judges for Temporal Reasoning in Image Sequences

As generative multimedia evolves from static image synthesis to complex, interleaved visual narratives, a foundational bottleneck has emerged: the judgment crisis. While human perception naturally synthesizes the temporal and logical flow of a story, automated evaluation systems remain largely "blind" to sequential continuity, often failing to distinguish between a coherent narrative and a semantically shuffled or contradictory sequence.

Beyond Local Surprise: Grounded Dialogue as Selective Belief Revision under Referential Uncertainty

The paper investigates how listeners decide to preserve or revise their understanding when a speaker refers to a scene they cannot see. It introduces a data‑driven framework for turn‑by‑turn preserve/revise decisions and compares four theory‑driven revision strategies. The study finds that a mismatch‑driven policy destabilizes grounding, while an uncertainty‑sensitive policy balances preservation and revision, leading to coherent understanding that aligns with conceptual pact theory.
