arXiv:2608. 12391v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph reasoning provides a promising testbed for evaluating the reasoning ability of large language models (LLMs), as graph instances can be programmatically generated, structurally controlled, and naturally scaled to long-input settings.
VisKG‑LM proposes compiling retrieved knowledge graph subgraphs into static visual memories rather than re‑encoding them during each inference step. The method serializes each subgraph as Relation‑Labeled Paths, renders them as images that preserve the graph’s branching structure, and caches these images for reuse. At inference, a language model processes the question and candidate text first, then consults the cached visual memory only at its final layer, yielding improved performance on CommonsenseQA, OpenBookQA, and MedQA‑USMLE compared to both text‑only baselines and a large vision‑language model.
arXiv:2608. 05833v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge graph completion (KGC) aims to infer missing entities or relations from incomplete graph structures, and has evolved into multimodal knowledge graph completion (MMKGC), where entities are associated with multiple modalities such as text and images.
arXiv:2512. 11995v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While many vision-language models (VLMs) are developed to answer well-defined, straightforward questions with highly specified targets, as in most benchmarks, they often struggle in practice with complex open-ended tasks, which usually require multiple rounds of exploration and reasoning in the visual space.
arXiv:2609.35942v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work in visual question answering has shown that vision-language models can exhibit strong reasoning capabilities by translating visual inputs i...
VBVR-Pro is a closed‑loop testbed that enables native visual reasoning through generation, offering 300 procedurally generated tasks that scale training and allow strong transfer to external benchmarks. It supplies verifiable reward scorers based on deterministic, task‑specific rules, outperforming VLM‑as‑a‑judge approaches and providing reliable signals for reinforcement learning. The suite also facilitates controlled modality studies, revealing that video generation excels at persistent spatiotemporal tracking while interleaved generation offers a compute‑efficient alternative, and highlights the importance of vision‑native trajectories for reasoning.
