How Far Are We from Removing the Visual Encoder? Scaling Laws for Encoder-Free Multimodal Pretraining
Lin Chen, Bolin Ni, Qi Yang +6
Most modern multimodal large language models (MLLMs) build on a pretrained visual encoder that provides a strong visual prior. Encoder-free MLLMs instead learn visual representatio…
Entropy Is Not Enough: Unlocking Effective Reinforcement Learning for Visual Reasoning via Vision-Anchored Token Selection
Senjie Jin, Peixin Wang, Boyang Liu +8
While token-level entropy is commonly recognized as effective for credit assignment in text-only reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), it remains unclear whether t…
ChartE: A Comprehensive Benchmark for End-to-End Chart Editing
Shuo Li, Jiajun Sun, Zhekai Wang +9
Charts are a fundamental visualization format for structured data analysis. Enabling end-to-end chart editing according to user intent is of great practical value, yet remains chal…
MHA2MLA-VLM: Enabling DeepSeek's Economical Multi-Head Latent Attention across Vision-Language Models
Xiaoran Fan, Zhichao Sun, Tao Ji +2
As vision-language models (VLMs) tackle increasingly complex and multimodal tasks, the rapid growth of Key-Value (KV) cache imposes significant memory and computational bottlenecks…
Which Reasoning Trajectories Teach Students to Reason Better? A Simple Metric of Informative Alignment
Yuming Yang, Mingyoung Lai, Wanxu Zhao +13
Long chain-of-thought (CoT) trajectories provide rich supervision signals for distilling reasoning from teacher to student LLMs. However, both prior work and our experiments show t…
LifeAgentBench: Benchmarking LLMs for Long-Horizon, Cross-Dimensional Lifestyle Health Reasoning
Ye Tian, Zihao Wang, Onat Gungor +2
Personalized lifestyle health analysis requires long-horizon, multi-dimensional reasoning over heterogeneous lifestyle signals, and recent advances in mobile sensing and large lang…
