From Seeing to Thinking: Decoupling Perception and Reasoning Improves Post-Training of Vision-Language Models

ICML 2026poster

Recent advances in vision-language models (VLMs) emphasize long chain-of-thought reasoning; yet, we find that their performance on visual tasks is primarily limited by a lack of visual perception as opposed to reasoning itself. In this work, we systematically study the interplay between perception a…

Omni-MMSI: Toward Identity-attributed Social Interaction Understanding

CVPR 2026

We introduce Omni-MMSI, a new task that requires comprehensive social interaction understanding from raw audio, vision, and speech input. The task involves perceiving identity-attributed social cues (e.g., who is speaking what) and reasoning about the social interaction (e.g., whom the speaker refer

MLLM-Bench: Evaluating Multimodal LLMs with Per-sample Criteria

NAACL 2025long

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have broadened the scope of AI applications. Existing automatic evaluation methodologies for MLLMs are mainly limited in evaluating objective queries without considering real-world user experiences, inadequately addressing the nuances of creative and associat…

ViLBench: A Suite for Vision-Language Process Reward Modeling

EMNLP 2025

Process-supervised reward models serve as a fine-grained function that provides detailed step-wise feedback to model responses, facilitating effective selection of reasoning trajectories for complex tasks. Despite its advantages, evaluation on PRMs remains less explored, especially in the multimodal
