Mind-ParaWorld creates parallel worlds with atomic facts to evaluate search agents on future scenarios, showing they synthesize evidence well but struggle with collection, coverage, sufficiency judgment, and stopping decisions.
MMSearch-R1 uses reinforcement learning to train multimodal models for on-demand multi-turn internet search with image and text tools, outperforming same-size RAG baselines and matching larger ones while cutting search calls by over 30%.
Audit of KB-VQA benchmarks reveals systematic violations of answer derivability, question clarity, and visual disambiguation assumptions, with new repair and multi-entity augmentation protocols producing different model performance trends.
A decoupled training-free IBA framework for KB-VQA selects entities via MLLM candidate choice then ranks evidence with off-the-shelf re-rankers, outperforming coupled fine-tuned baselines on Encyclopedic-VQA and InfoSeek.
DR-MMSearchAgent derives batch-wide trajectory advantages and uses differentiated Gaussian rewards to prevent premature collapse in multimodal agents, outperforming MMSearch-R1 by 8.4% on FVQA-test.
A decision-based agent for KB-VQA learns to dynamically select retrieval or answer actions over multiple steps and achieves state-of-the-art results on InfoSeek and E-VQA after fine-tuning on automatically collected trajectories.
WikiCLIP reaches 28.5% OVEN-unseen accuracy (vs 24.5% AutoVER) at 14.5 ms latency by vision-guided LLM embeddings plus hard-negative text swaps.
DeepEyesV2 uses a two-stage cold-start plus reinforcement learning pipeline to produce an agentic multimodal model that adaptively invokes tools and outperforms direct RL on real-world reasoning benchmarks.
WebWatcher introduces a vision-language deep research agent trained on synthetic multimodal trajectories and RL that outperforms baselines on VQA benchmarks, along with a new BrowseComp-VL evaluation.
MoRE enables MLLMs to dynamically coordinate heterogeneous retrieval experts via Step-GRPO training, yielding over 7% average gains on open-domain QA benchmarks.
MathVis-Fine proposes a dataset with fine-grained visual annotations and dependency ratings plus a progressive two-stage training paradigm to align visual supervision with sample-specific necessity in multimodal mathematical reasoning.
A sandbox-trained multimodal search agent with process-oriented rewards transfers zero-shot to real Google Search and outperforms prior methods on FVQA, InfoSeek, and MMSearch.
R3G improves vision-centric VQA by generating a reasoning plan before retrieval and reranking candidate images with an MLLM judge on relevance, target match, and answerability.
SimpleSearch-VL improves Qwen3-VL multimodal agent baselines by 15.8-16 points on average using 7K total training examples and reaches parity with Gemini-3-Pro on the 30B variant.
VLMs fine-tuned on a consistency-probed Visual-Idk dataset via SFT and preference optimization raise truthful rate from 57.9% to 67.3% and show internal evidence of genuine boundary recognition.
Scaling a multilingual vision-language model in size and training breadth yields new state-of-the-art results on over 25 benchmarks plus emerging abilities in counting and multilingual detection.
