Rethinking Multi-Image Re-Representation in Multi-Image Understanding

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces Mosaic, a multi-image visual harness that lets large language‑vision models (MLLMs) construct visual intermediates using ten composable image operations. It evaluates five re‑representation settings on existing multi‑image benchmarks and a new grounding‑focused benchmark, MosaicBench, finding that visual re‑representation benefits tasks requiring precise visual evidence more than those dominated by high‑level semantics. MosaicAgent‑8B is trained via reinforcement learning to compose these operations without demonstration trajectories, demonstrating diverse problem‑solving patterns.

VistaHop: Benchmarking Multi-hop Visual Reasoning for Visual DeepSearch

arXiv:2606. 03273v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual DeepSearch requires multimodal large reasoning model (MLRM) agents to answer complex visual queries by repeatedly inspecting image regions, grounding intermediate reasoning in visual evidence, and connecting fine-grained clues across long reasoning chains.

V-Retrver: Evidence-Driven Agentic Reasoning for Universal Multimodal Retrieval

V‑Retrver is an evidence‑driven retrieval framework that treats universal multimodal retrieval as an agentic reasoning process grounded in visual inspection. It allows multimodal large language models to selectively acquire visual evidence through external tools, alternating between hypothesis generation and targeted visual verification. The approach is trained with a curriculum that blends supervised activation, rejection‑based refinement, and reinforcement learning, achieving an average 23.0% improvement in retrieval accuracy across multiple benchmarks.
