MYOPIA: Understanding the Limits of Tree-Based Reasoning in Vision-Language Models

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

MYOPIA is a benchmark that evaluates tree-based reasoning in vision‑language models (VLMs) using four human‑refined decision trees for GTSRB, MNIST, CIFAR‑10, and MSCOCO. The study shows that tree traversal consistently underperforms zero‑shot prompting across GPT‑4o, Qwen‑VL Max, and LLaMA‑3.2 11B Vision, with significant gaps between class‑attribute recall and image grounding. Diagnostics reveal that early incorrect decisions and answer extraction losses drive this performance drop, and node‑level analysis links split entropy to lower accuracy.

StemBind: When MLLMs Get Lost Between Rules and Instances in Abstract Visual Reasoning

arXiv:2606. 00148v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) often know the rule but pick the wrong answer: on abstract visual reasoning (AVR) tasks, a model can describe what it sees and name the underlying pattern, yet still fail to choose the matching candidate.
