DocHop is a new benchmark that tests multimodal large language models on integrated chart‑context reasoning within document‑style images. The benchmark presents narrative text that imposes multi‑step compositional constraints, while charts supply the data needed to answer questions grounded in semantic reference labels. It contains 2,074 examples across six task categories, generated via a stochastic logic‑first pipeline that controls reasoning depth and visual density, and shows a large performance gap between humans (over 90% accuracy) and the best models (62.83%).

VISPATH is a visual‑intent‑guided path reasoning framework designed for multimodal knowledge graph question answering (MM‑KGQA). It first identifies a reliable starting entity by fusing multimodal grounding with graph‑structural cues, then iteratively discovers and refines reasoning paths using hop‑specific multimodal intent and a reasoning‑chain pruning step. The framework is evaluated on the newly introduced VISPATH‑Bench, which tests two‑to‑four‑hop reasoning, and demonstrates consistent improvements over strong baselines, even surpassing GPT‑5.4 when using GPT‑4o as the backbone.
