How Good are Foundation Models in Longitudinal MRI Disease Progression Reasoning?
Wafa Al Ghallabi, Ritesh Thawkar, Sara Ghaboura +6
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) interpretation is fundamental to clinical decision-making, requiring radiologists to integrate multi-view anatomical planes across sequential timep…
Ground3D-LMM: Fine-Grained 3D Point Grounding and Spatial Reasoning with LMM
Amol Harsh, Zongyan Han, Jean Lahoud +5
Natural-language queries about 3D environments become actionable when responses are verifiable and metric. Verifiability requires explicit grounding to the referred 3D region, whil…
Ask, Solve, Generate: Self-Evolving Unified Multimodal Understanding and Generation via Self-Consistency Rewards
Ritesh Thawkar, Shravan Venkatraman, Omkar Thawakar +5
Most unified large multimodal models (LMMs) that support both visual understanding and image generation still rely on curated post-training supervision, such as human annotations,…
Paying More Attention to Visual Tokens in Self-Evolving Large Multimodal Models
Shravan Venkatraman, Ritesh Thawkar, Omkar Thawakar +4
Recently, self-evolving large multimodal models (LMMs) have received attention for improving visual reasoning in a purely unsupervised setting. However, multi-role self-play and se…
CEPO: RLVR Self-Distillation using Contrastive Evidence Policy Optimization
Ahmed Heakl, Abdelrahman M. Shaker, Youssef Mohamed +4
When a model produces a correct solution under reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), every token receives the same reward signal regardless of whether it was a dec…
Mobile-O: Unified Multimodal Understanding and Generation on Mobile Device
Abdelrahman Shaker, Ahmed Heakl, Jaseel Muhammad +8
Unified multimodal models can both understand and generate visual content within a single architecture. Existing models, however, remain data-hungry and too heavy for deployment on…
How Good are Foundation Models in Step-by-Step Embodied Reasoning?
Dinura Dissanayake, Ahmed Heakl, Omkar Thawakar +9
Embodied agents operating in the physical world must make decisions that are not only effective but also safe, spatially coherent, and grounded in context. While recent advances in…
KITAB-Bench: A Comprehensive Multi-Domain Benchmark for Arabic OCR and Document Understanding
Ahmed Heakl, Abdullah Sohail, Mukul Ranjan +7
With the growing adoption of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in document processing, robust text recognition has become increasingly critical for knowledge extraction. While O…
LlamaV-o1: Rethinking Step-by-step Visual Reasoning in LLMs
Omkar Thawakar, Dinura Dissanayake, Ketan More +12
Reasoning is a fundamental capability for solving complex multi-step problems, particularly in visual contexts where sequential step-wise understanding is essential. Existing appro…
Arabic Mini-ClimateGPT : A Climate Change and Sustainability Tailored Arabic LLM
Sahal Shaji Mullappilly, Abdelrahman Shaker, Omkar Thawakar +4
Climate change is one of the most significant challenges we face together as a society. Creating awareness and educating policy makers the wide-ranging impact of climate change is…
