Think or Not Think: A Study of Explicit Thinking in Rule-Based Visual Reinforcement Fine-Tuning

Ming Li, Jike Zhong, Shitian Zhao +4

This paper investigates the role of explicit thinking process in rule-based reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) for MLLMs. We first propose CLS-RL for MLLM image classification, using…
