The study explores the effectiveness of the Chain-of-Thought approach, known for its proficiency in language tasks by breaking them down into sub-tasks and intermediate steps, in improving vision-language tasks that demand sophisticated perception and reasoning. We present the "Description then Decision" strategy, which is inspired by how humans process signals. This strategy significantly improves probing task performance by 50%, establishing the groundwork for future research on reasoning paradigms in complex vision-language tasks.

    cs.AI 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    MIND improves multimodal reasoning by training on diverse correct and deliberately wrong rationales with two-stage correction and contrastive alignment, reporting SOTA on ScienceQA, A-OKVQA, and M3CoT.

  2. ViTCoT: Video-Text Interleaved Chain-of-Thought for Boosting Video Understanding in Large Language Models

    cs.CV 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Interleaving key video frames into step-by-step reasoning improves video question answering by 1.7 to 5.5 points over text-only chain-of-thought on a new self-built benchmark.

  3. From Answers to Rationales: Self-Aligning Multimodal Reasoning with Answer-Oriented Chain-of-Thought

    cs.CL 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Answer-oriented chain-of-thought prompts that generate both positive and negative reasoning data, combined with iterative DPO, improve multimodal LLM reasoning on several benchmarks.

  4. RSVP: Reasoning Segmentation via Visual Prompting and Multi-modal Chain-of-Thought

    cs.CV 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    RSVP couples region-grid visual prompting and multimodal chain-of-thought reasoning with a BEiT-3/SAM segmentation module, achieving state-of-the-art zero-shot results on ReasonSeg and SegInW.

  5. Visual Language Models as Zero-Shot Deepfake Detectors

    cs.CV 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Zero-shot VLMs scored by normalized yes/no token probabilities beat most trained deepfake detectors on a new SimSwap dataset, and a lightly fine-tuned InstructBLIP is near-perfect on DFDC-P.
