From Modalities to Propositions: A Language-Centric Framework for Multimodal Intelligence

arXiv:2607. 16560v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a language representation for multimodal data in which any observation, whether image, video, or text, is expressed as a bag of atomic propositions, simple statements about the entities, actions, and relations in a scene.

Think, Plan, Paint: Layout-Aware Reasoning for Controllable Image Generation in Unified Models

arXiv:2607. 16409v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) offer a promising paradigm for unifying visual understanding and generation, yet they still struggle to follow complex spatial instructions and logical constraints in controllable image generation.

Simple Domain Generalization for Strong Pixel-Level Image Tampering Detection in Modern VLMs

arXiv:2607. 18230v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern vision-language models (VLMs) have significantly improved image generation and editing capabilities, making pixel-level image tampering detection increasingly important yet challenging under cross-model and out-of-distribution shifts.

ColGraphRAG: Late-Interaction Evidence Retrieval for Multimodal GraphRAG

arXiv:2607. 16208v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph-grounded multimodal question answering organizes text, tables, and images in a structured evidence graph, yet end-to-end accuracy depends on which multimodal assets are ranked highly enough to enter downstream reasoning; for graph-linked images, single-vector bi-encoder similarity can discard patch- and token-level structure needed for fine-grained alignment.
