MM-IssueLoc: A Controlled Benchmark for Evaluating Visual Evidence in Multimodal Repository-Level Issue Localization

arXiv:2607. 15205v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real repository issues routinely include visual evidence such as screenshots, error dialogs, rendered UI states, and logs, yet repository-level issue localization is evaluated mostly as a text-only task.

TerraAgent: Demonstration-Grounded Multi-Agent Reasoning for Long-Context Remote Sensing Visual Question Answering

The paper introduces TerraAgent, a training‑free framework that enhances remote sensing visual question answering by integrating three modules: GDR for demonstration retrieval, MACE for evidence‑typed sub‑question decomposition, and CVA for counterfactual evidence auditing. It demonstrates significant improvements on multiple benchmarks, raising accuracy, visual‑dependency scores, and reducing prior‑only answers and hallucinations without fine‑tuning.

CRAG-MM-Diagnostics: Enabling Stage-Wise Analysis of Knowledge-Intensive VQA

Knowledge-Intensive Visual Question Answering (KI-VQA) benchmarks evaluate Vision-Language Models (VLMs) as multimodal knowledge assistants by requiring external information beyond a provided image to answer questions. KI-VQA involves multiple sub-problems -referring expression understanding, visual grounding, object recognition, knowledge retrieval, and reasoning-yet existing benchmarks typically report only end-task accuracy, obscuring where failures arise.

Pay More Attention To Text In High-Resolution MLLMs

The paper introduces EviSpec, a training‑free compiler that generates complementary evidence specifications to improve high‑resolution multimodal large language models (MLLMs). By explicitly guiding visual search with structured evidence specifications, EviSpec achieves significant relative gains—up to 14.8% over random evidence—across five MLLMs and three benchmarks, and also sets new state‑of‑the‑art results on VQA and hallucination‑focused tasks.

OneSearch-VL: Unified Multimodal Deep Research Agent for Image and Video

OneSearch‑VL is a unified multimodal deep research agent that handles single‑image, multi‑image, and video tasks by leveraging a Visually Grounded Evidence Graph (VGEG) to encode dependencies among visual anchors, entity relations, facts, and answer‑producing operations. The VGEG‑based data engine builds and verifies questions, filters expert trajectories, and supports supervised fine‑tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL) with the Evidence‑aware Visual‑Grounded Rubric reward (EVGR). Experiments demonstrate that OneSearch‑VL‑8B outperforms Qwen3‑VL‑8B with tool access by 20.2 and 17.6 percentage points on new multimodal benchmarks, while also achieving significant gains across seven image benchmarks and VideoDR.
