Introduces OCR-Robust benchmark and evaluates 18 VLMs showing clean accuracy does not guarantee robustness with charts and tables more fragile than documents under selected perturbations.
MODE decomposes expert selection frequency by modality, filters redundant vision tokens, adds per-modality sensitivity, and uses ILP to assign bit-widths, limiting average loss to 2.9% at W3A16 on MoE-MLLMs.
VAMPS benchmark shows multimodal LLMs solve graph-assisted math problems better by direct analysis than by tool-enabled visual solving.
Enginuity is the first open benchmark dataset for VLMs on engineering diagrams, with evaluations showing models identify parts but produce low-fidelity descriptions and struggle with factual reasoning.
Chart information is encoded but not routed to predictions in VLMs for claim verification, unlike tables, revealed by layer-wise probing and attention analysis on three models.
DOLORES, an agent using a formal language for meta-reasoning to construct adaptive scaffolds on the fly, outperforms prior scaffolding methods by 24.8% on average across four hard benchmarks and multiple model sizes.
MIRL uses mutual information to guide trajectory selection and provide separate rewards for visual perception in RLVR for VLMs, achieving 70.22% average accuracy with 25% fewer full trajectories.
Introduces QCalEval benchmark showing best zero-shot VLM score of 72.3 on quantum calibration plots, with fine-tuning and in-context learning effects varying by model type.
SOB benchmark shows LLMs achieve near-perfect schema compliance but value accuracy of only 83% on text, 67% on images, and 24% on audio.
PolyChartQA is a new mid-scale dataset for multi-chart question answering that reveals a 27.4% accuracy drop for multimodal models on human-authored questions compared to AI-generated ones, plus a modest gain from a proposed prompting method.
MixAtlas uses CLIP-based decomposition and Gaussian process optimization on small proxies to discover data mixtures that improve multimodal benchmark performance by up to 17.6% and transfer to larger models with faster convergence.
Introduces a benchmark for MLLM-based chart data extraction from unlabeled images and a human-centered training framework that reaches SOTA numerical accuracy with a 7B model.
AgentFinVQA presents a multi-agent pipeline for auditable on-premise financial chart QA that reports 4.84-7.68 pp accuracy gains over matched baselines on FinMME plus code release for reproducibility.
MiniMax Sparse Attention is a GQA-based block-sparse attention mechanism that selects top-k blocks independently per group and delivers 28.4x per-token compute reduction at 1M context with on-par performance plus 14.2x prefill and 7.6x decode speedups via co-designed GPU kernel.
TGV-KV uses text-vision budgeting, weighted ranking, and prioritised retention to evict KV cache in VLMs while retaining 99.2% accuracy at 5% budget on VizWiz-VQA.
Fusing chart visualizations with raw time series improves or maintains classification accuracy on UCR datasets when the visuals add non-redundant information.
CharTool equips MLLMs with cropping and code tools plus agentic RL on DuoChart data to raise chart-reasoning accuracy by up to 9.78 percent on benchmarks.
SmolVLM-256M outperforms a 300-times larger model using under 1 GB GPU memory, while the 2.2B version matches state-of-the-art VLMs at half the memory cost.
Faithful Warm-Start pre-training on causally consistent vision-language samples improves accuracy, stabilizes RL, and reduces unsupported reasoning in VLMs.
ReforMe is an interactive document digitization system using layout-aware propagation to generalize user corrections from natural language or direct edits, shown to improve efficiency in a 12-user study on real documents.
OpenVLThinkerV2 applies a new Gaussian GRPO training objective with response and entropy shaping to outperform prior open-source and proprietary models on 18 visual reasoning benchmarks.
SAFE-Cascade uses OCR plus text LM with a Random Forest router to selectively invoke VLMs on ChartQA, reporting 69.1% accuracy at 73.1% VLM use versus 67.7% at 100% VLM use.
The survey identifies a key tension in multilingual vision-language models between language neutrality via contrastive learning and cultural awareness via diverse data, with most benchmarks relying on translation-based evaluation.
