End-to-end text-image machine translation (TIMT), which directly translates textual content in images across languages, is crucial for real-world multilingual scene understanding. Despite advances in vision-language large models (VLLMs), robustness across diverse visual scenes and low-resource langu
Document parsing has recently advanced with multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that directly map document images to structured outputs. Traditional cascaded pipelines depend on precise layout analysis and often fail under casually captured or non-standard conditions. Although end-to-end approa
Scene text editing seeks to modify textual content in natural images while maintaining visual realism and semantic consistency. Existing methods often require task-specific training or paired data, limiting their scalability and adaptability. In this paper, we propose TextFlow, a training-free scene
Scene Text Retrieval (STR) seeks to identify all images containing a given query string. Existing methods typically rely on an explicit Optical Character Recognition (OCR) process of text spotting or localization, which is susceptible to complex pipelines and accumulated errors. To settle this, we r…
Document image retrieval (DIR) aims to retrieve document images from a gallery according to a given query. Existing DIR methods are primarily based on image queries that retrieve documents within the same coarse semantic category, e.g., newspapers or receipts. However, these methods struggle to effe…
Video text-based visual question answering (TextVQA) is a practical task that aims to answer questions by jointly reasoning textual and visual information in a given video. Inspired by the development of TextVQA in image domain, existing Video TextVQA approaches leverage a language model (e.g. T5) t…
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have achieved impressive progress in visual perception and reasoning. However, when confronted with visually ambiguous or non-semantic scene text, they often struggle to accurately spot and understand the content, frequently generating semantically plausible yet visual…
