CGC: Compositional Grounded Contrast for Fine-Grained Multi-Image Understanding
Lihao Zheng, Zhenwei Shao, Yu Zhou +5
Although Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have advanced rapidly, they still face notable challenges in fine-grained multi-image understanding, often exhibiting spatial hall…
MindWatcher: Toward Smarter Multimodal Tool-Integrated Reasoning
Jiawei Chen, Xintian Shen, Lihao Zheng +43
Traditional workflow-based agents exhibit limited intelligence when addressing real-world problems requiring tool invocation. Tool-integrated reasoning (TIR) agents capable of auto…
VideoARM: Agentic Reasoning over Hierarchical Memory for Long-Form Video Understanding
Yufei Yin, Qianke Meng, Minghao Chen +3
Long-form video understanding remains challenging due to the extended temporal structure and dense multimodal cues. Despite recent progress, many existing approaches still rely on…
