VISPATH is a visual‑intent‑guided path reasoning framework designed for multimodal knowledge graph question answering (MM‑KGQA). It first identifies a reliable starting entity by fusing multimodal grounding with graph‑structural cues, then iteratively discovers and refines reasoning paths using hop‑specific multimodal intent and a reasoning‑chain pruning step. The framework is evaluated on the newly introduced VISPATH‑Bench, which tests two‑to‑four‑hop reasoning, and demonstrates consistent improvements over strong baselines, even surpassing GPT‑5.4 when using GPT‑4o as the backbone.

arXiv:2608. 02833v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chart question answering (CQA) requires multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to integrate visual comprehension with logical reasoning, yet current models struggle with accurate visual grounding and coherent reasoning chains.

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.

The survey titled "When Vision Meets Graphs: A Survey on Graph Reasoning and Learning" reviews how visual depictions of graphs can be used as inputs for graph reasoning and learning. It highlights that while Graph Neural Networks dominate graph machine learning, most pipelines ignore the visual form of graphs, despite scientists routinely interpreting graphs visually. The paper organizes existing work into three threads—vision for graph reasoning, vision for graph learning, and scientific graphs—aiming to clarify current capabilities and chart a path toward foundation models that perceive and reason about graphs like scientists do.
