The paper introduces Salience-LLaVA, a vision‑language model that prioritizes scene elements based on their importance for low‑vision users. It presents three new salience‑aware datasets—Salience COCO, Salience Flickr, and Salience VizWiz—annotated with object‑level salience verified by low‑vision participants. The authors also propose the SCMI metric to evaluate caption ordering accuracy and demonstrate the system’s practicality by deploying it on assistive glasses.
The paper introduces VISTA, a visual harness that equips a general-purpose multimodal model with long‑horizon vision and a lossless visual memory. VISTA enables the model to directly perceive and actively retrieve past observations, allowing it to reorganize visual input during reasoning. On the ARC‑AGI‑3 benchmark, VISTA boosts Claude Opus 5.0’s Relative Human Action Efficiency from 40.68 to a perfect 100.00, completing all 25 public games with 57.4% fewer actions than first‑time human participants, and it also outperforms baselines on three additional visual game and puzzle benchmarks.
