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.
WeAgent-MMSearch introduces a multimodal search agent that preserves retrieved images as persistent references, enabling the model to inspect, process, and cite them throughout a search trajectory. The system includes a harness (WeAgent-Harness), a post‑training method (FA‑GSPO) that recovers salvageable rollouts, and a new benchmark (VisTarget‑Bench) to evaluate image‑retrieval versus visual‑perception failures. Evaluation shows that agentic post‑training boosts performance by 19.22 points, allowing the model to outperform similarly sized open‑source models and compete with much larger ones.
The paper evaluates 14 state‑of‑the‑art text‑to‑video retrieval models on three major datasets using a unified framework. It finds that short, clear, and simple captions—especially those describing single actions or color attributes—yield higher recall, while complex, multi‑step events or fine‑grained scene descriptions remain difficult for all models. Attention‑driven architectures better handle temporally dependent or multi‑step queries, whereas dual‑encoder and multimodal fusion models excel mainly on simpler captions, and cross‑dataset generalization improves with larger, more diverse caption sets but generative captions do not consistently boost accuracy.
