Paper studies how distractors affect test-time scaling in reasoning VLMs

A new arXiv preprint examines whether irrelevant information, known as distractors, changes how vision-language models behave when allowed to spend more compute at inference time. Prior work on text-only models found that such distractors can worsen inverse scaling, where reasoning degrades as test-time compute grows. The authors extend that question to multimodal settings, where models must handle both images and text. The submission is a cross-listed replacement in cs.AI and cs.LG.

Paper studies switching between language and symbolic forms for spatial reasoning

A revised arXiv preprint examines how reasoning improves when models move between natural language and symbolic representations such as grids or sketches. The authors argue that human problem-solving is multimodal, with people offloading difficult steps into diagrams to expose structure and reduce errors. The work proposes treating this modality shift as a mechanism AI systems can adopt for spatial tasks.

GraMRAG combines graph memory and reinforcement learning for multi-agent RAG

A new arXiv paper introduces GraMRAG, a framework that coordinates multi-agent, multi-step reasoning using a graph-based memory structure trained with reinforcement learning. The authors argue that current multi-agent retrieval-augmented generation systems are limited in reasoning depth and memory organisation, and position the graph memory approach as a way to address those gaps. The work focuses on complex multimodal reasoning tasks.

Paper Argues Latent Visual Reasoning Must Be Made Necessary, Not Assumed

A revised arXiv preprint examines latent visual reasoning, where multimodal models reason via hidden states instead of explicit text chains of thought. The authors argue that merely having visual information present in a latent state does not mean the model actually relies on it, and they propose making such reasoning genuinely necessary.

LogiScope-VQA: A Benchmark for Vision-Language Models on Warehouse Hazard Detection

Researchers have released LogiScope-VQA, a benchmark that evaluates whether large multimodal models can perceive, understand, and reason about safety hazards in industrial warehouse environments at a level comparable to human experts. The work addresses the lack of domain-specific evaluation data for deploying such models in logistics settings. The paper appears on arXiv with cross-listings in artificial intelligence and computational linguistics.
