arXiv:2606. 04240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval over visually-rich documents, pages that interleave text with figures, tables, and charts, is essential for multimodal retrieval-augmented generation, yet most retrievers still discard the visual channel.

One Token per Multimodal Evidence: Latent Memory for Resource-Constrained QA

External memory effectively grounds large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs)-based question answering (QA) in relevant multimodal evidence. However, existing memory paradigms represent each memory item in raw text and image forms, so retrieval-based systems must pass the retrieved text or images to the generation LLMs/VLMs, resulting in high token consumption and storage pressure, making it unaffordable for resource-constrained applications.

PIXELRAG: Web Screenshots Beat Text for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

arXiv:2606. 28344v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Augmenting large language models (LLMs) with retrieved web text has become a dominant paradigm, yet the web is not natively textual: existing systems depend on complex parsing pipelines that linearize HTML and discard layout, visual structure, and formatting.

MM-Matryoshka: Towards Budget-Elastic Visual Document Retrieval via a 2D Multimodal Matryoshka Training Framework

arXiv:2606. 07654v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-vector visual document retrievers achieve strong fine-grained matching by representing each page with multiple vectors from deep Vision-Language Models (VLMs), but this design makes deployment expensive in both storage and computational overhead.
