Doc-REFRAG: Rethinking Multimodal Document Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Ruofan Hu, Shengyang Xu, Minjie Hong +5

Real-world knowledge resides in multimodal documents, necessitating retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for accurate question answering. However, existing multimodal RAG models ar…

DocRetriever: A Plug-and-Play Framework for Multimodal Document Retrieval with Comprehensive Benchmark

Ruofan Hu, Menghui Zhu, Jieming Zhu +8

Multimodal documents contain diverse elements, such as tables, figures, and layouts, which can complicate retrieval tasks. While current approaches typically combine dense visual e…

Diffusion Model as a Generalist Segmentation Learner

Haoxiao Wang, Antao Xiang, Haiyang Sun +8

Diffusion models are primarily trained for image synthesis, yet their denoising trajectories encode rich, spatially aligned visual priors. In this paper, we demonstrate that these…

DUET: Joint Exploration of User Item Profiles in Recommendation System

Yue Chen, Yifei Sun, Lu Wang +17

Traditional recommendation systems represent users and items as dense vectors and learn to align them in a shared latent space for relevance estimation. Recent LLM-based recommende…

Thinking with Programming Vision: Towards a Unified View for Thinking with Images

Zirun Guo, Minjie Hong, Feng Zhang +2

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that think with images can interactively use tools to reason about visual inputs, but current approaches often rely on a narrow set of tool…

DSI-Bench: A Benchmark for Dynamic Spatial Intelligence

Ziang Zhang, Zehan Wang, Guanghao Zhang +5

Reasoning about dynamic spatial relationships is essential, as both observers and objects often move simultaneously. Although vision-language models (VLMs) and visual expertise mod…
