VistaHop: Benchmarking Long-Horizon Visual DeepSearch

arXiv:2606. 03273v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Visual DeepSearch tasks require multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to resolve complex visual queries by repeatedly inspecting image regions, grounding reasoning in visual evidence, and connecting fine-grained clues across multiple steps.

SciIR: A Large-scale Training Dataset and Benchmark for Scientific Image Reasoning Generation

While Text-to-Image (T2I) models have shown remarkable success in generating photorealistic visual content, they still struggle with the rigorous semantic alignment and logical reasoning required for scientific imagery. Inspired by Peirce's Semiotic Triad, we introduce Scientific Image Reasoning (SciIR), a comprehensive resource for training and evaluation of scientific image generation.

Beyond Scalar Distances: Semantic Attribute Gradients from Frozen MLLMs for Visual Embeddings

arXiv:2606. 15134v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision encoders for retrieval are typically trained with class-label supervision: each training pair reduces to a scalar that uniformly pushes the embedding apart or pulls it together, as if every visual attribute either differed or matched.

Visual-Seeker: Towards Visual-Native Multimodal Agentic Search via Active Visual Reasoning

arXiv:2606. 15231v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in many visual tasks, but they often struggle with factual grounding when confronted with complex, open-world scenarios.

CVEvolve: Autonomous Algorithm Discovery for Unstructured Scientific Data Processing

arXiv:2605. 11359v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Scientific data processing often requires task-specific algorithms or AI models, creating a barrier for domain scientists who need to analyze their data but may not have extensive computing or image-processing expertise.
