Wiki-R1: Incentivizing Multimodal Reasoning for Knowledge-based VQA via Data and Sampling Curriculum

ICLR 2026poster

Knowledge-Based Visual Question Answering (KB-VQA) requires models to answer questions about an image by integrating external knowledge, posing significant challenges due to noisy retrieval and the structured, encyclopedic nature of the knowledge base. These characteristics create a distributional g…

WikiCLIP: An Efficient Contrastive Baseline for Open-domain Visual Entity Recognition

CVPR 2026

Open-domain visual entity recognition (VER) seeks to associate images with entities in encyclopedic knowledge bases such as Wikipedia. Recent generative methods tailored for VER demonstrate strong performance but incur high computational costs, limiting their scalability and practical deployment. In

NoisyGRPO: Incentivizing Multimodal CoT Reasoning via Noise Injection and Bayesian Estimation

NeurIPS 2025poster

Reinforcement learning (RL) has shown promise in enhancing the general Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning capabilities of multimodal large language models (MLLMs). However, when applied to improve general CoT reasoning, existing RL frameworks often struggle to generalize beyond the training distributi…

Mining Fine-Grained Image-Text Alignment for Zero-Shot Captioning via Text-Only Training

AAAI 2024technical

Image captioning aims at generating descriptive and meaningful textual descriptions of images, enabling a broad range of vision-language applications. Prior works have demonstrated that harnessing the power of Contrastive Image Language Pre-training (CLIP) offers a promising approach to achieving ze…

HOICLIP: Efficient Knowledge Transfer for HOI Detection With Vision-Language Models

CVPR 2023poster

Human-Object Interaction (HOI) detection aims to localize human-object pairs and recognize their interactions. Recently, Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) has shown great potential in providing interaction prior for HOI detectors via knowledge distillation. However, such approaches ofte…
