abstract
Previous work on multimodal machine translation has shown that visual information is only needed in very specific cases, for example in the presence of ambiguous words where the textual context is not sufficient. As a consequence, models tend to learn to ignore this information. We propose a translate-and-refine approach to this problem where images are only used by a second stage decoder. This approach is trained jointly to generate a good first draft translation and to improve over this draft by (i) making better use of the target language textual context (both left and right-side contexts) and (ii) making use of visual context. This approach leads to the state of the art results. Additionally, we show that it has the ability to recover from erroneous or missing words in the source language.

Migician: Revealing the Magic of Free-Form Multi-Image Grounding in Multimodal Large Language Models
Migician is an instruction-tuned MLLM that performs free-form grounding across multiple images, with a new 630k dataset and a 10-task benchmark, but the evaluation is weakened by source overlap between training and benchmark data.
