We introduce the Perception Rubric Benchmark (PRB), a rubric-based evaluation framework for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) that addresses the growing gap between benchmark scores and human-perceived quality. While standard perception metrics approach saturation, they produce compressed ran…
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) pretrained on large-scale multimodal data have shown promising capabilities in Video Anomaly Detection (VAD). However, their ability to reason about abnormal events based on scene semantics remains underexplored. In this paper, we investigate LVLMs’ behavior in V…
The remarkable reasoning capability of large language models (LLMs) stems from cognitive behaviors that emerge through reinforcement with verifiable rewards. This work investigates how to transfer this principle to Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) to unlock advanced visual reasoning. We introduce a two-stage…
We present a perception in reflection paradigm designed to transcend the limitations of current large vision-language models (LVLMs), which are expected yet often fail to achieve perfect perception initially. Specifically, we propose Reflective Perception (RePer), a dual-model reflection mechanism t…
Inspired by the success of DeepSeek-R1, we explore the potential of rule-based reinforcement learning (RL) in MLLM post-training for perception policy learning. While promising, our initial experiments reveal that incorporating a thinking process through RL does not consistently lead to performance…
In the pursuit of superior video-processing MLLMs, we have encountered a perplexing paradox: the “anti-scaling law”, where more data and larger models lead to worse performance. This study unmasks the culprit: “temporal hacking”, a phenomenon where models shortcut by fixating on select frames, missi…
