CARE What Fails: Contrastive Anchored-REflection for Verifiable Multimodal Reasoning

Yongxin Wang, Zhicheng Yang, Meng Cao +5

Group-relative reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) often wastes the most informative data it already has the failures. When all rollouts are wrong, gradients stal…

Ground-R1: Incentivizing Grounded Visual Reasoning via Reinforcement Learning

Meng Cao, Haoze Zhao, Can Zhang +3

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have become powerful general-purpose assistants, yet their predictions often lack reliability and interpretability due to insufficient groundin…
