VidVec: Unlocking Video MLLM Embeddings for Video-Text Retrieval

Intermediate

Issar Tzachor, Dvir Samuel et al.Feb 8arXiv

VidVec shows that video-capable multimodal language models already hide strong matching signals between videos and sentences inside their middle layers.

MAD: Modality-Adaptive Decoding for Mitigating Cross-Modal Hallucinations in Multimodal Large Language Models

Intermediate

Sangyun Chung, Se Yeon Kim et al.Jan 29arXiv

Multimodal AI models can mix up what they see and what they hear, making things up across senses; this is called cross-modal hallucination.

WorldVQA: Measuring Atomic World Knowledge in Multimodal Large Language Models

Intermediate

Runjie Zhou, Youbo Shao et al.Jan 28arXiv

WorldVQA is a new test that checks if multimodal AI models can correctly name what they see in pictures without doing extra reasoning.

AdaReasoner: Dynamic Tool Orchestration for Iterative Visual Reasoning

Intermediate

Mingyang Song, Haoyu Sun et al.Jan 26arXiv

AdaReasoner teaches AI to pick the right visual tools, use them in the right order, and stop using them when they aren’t helping.

AVMeme Exam: A Multimodal Multilingual Multicultural Benchmark for LLMs' Contextual and Cultural Knowledge and Thinking

Intermediate

Xilin Jiang, Qiaolin Wang et al.Jan 25arXiv

AVMeme Exam is a new test made by humans that checks if AI can understand famous internet audio and video clips the way people do.

SIN-Bench: Tracing Native Evidence Chains in Long-Context Multimodal Scientific Interleaved Literature

Intermediate

Yiming Ren, Junjie Wang et al.Jan 15arXiv

The paper introduces SIN-Bench, a new way to test AI that read long scientific papers by forcing them to show exactly where their answers come from.

BabyVision: Visual Reasoning Beyond Language

Intermediate

Liang Chen, Weichu Xie et al.Jan 10arXiv

BabyVision is a new test that checks if AI can handle the same basic picture puzzles that young children can do, without leaning on language tricks.

CogFlow: Bridging Perception and Reasoning through Knowledge Internalization for Visual Mathematical Problem Solving

Intermediate

Shuhang Chen, Yunqiu Xu et al.Jan 5arXiv

This paper teaches AI to solve diagram-based math problems by copying how people think: first see (perception), then make sense of what you saw (internalization), and finally reason (solve the problem).

UniPercept: Towards Unified Perceptual-Level Image Understanding across Aesthetics, Quality, Structure, and Texture

Intermediate

Shuo Cao, Jiayang Li et al.Dec 25arXiv

This paper teaches AI to notice not just what is in a picture, but how the picture looks and feels to people.

Robust-R1: Degradation-Aware Reasoning for Robust Visual Understanding

Beginner

Jiaqi Tang, Jianmin Chen et al.Dec 19arXiv

Robust-R1 teaches vision-language models to notice how a picture is damaged, think through what that damage hides, and then answer as if the picture were clear.
