Focus-then-Context: Subject-Centric Progressive Visual Token Reduction for Vision-Language Models
arXiv:2605.20950v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) face a bottleneck of prohibitive computational costs arising from massive visual token sequences during inference. Existing vision token reduction methods alleviate this burden, but they unintentionally preserve the isolated visual subject strictly aligned with the user's query, which fails to substantially explore salient subjects and their contextual relationships. In this paper, we propose SPpruner, a...
Diversity Matters: Revisiting Test-Time Compute in Vision-Language Models
Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time compute (TTC) strategies have emerged as a lightweight approach to boost reasoning in large language models (LLMs). However, their application and benefits for vision-language models (VLMs) remain underexplored. We present a systematic study of TTC across seven VLMs and six benchmarks, specifically analyzing feature-based scoring and majority voting methods.
ReGuLaR: Relation-Grounded Latent Reasoning for Large Vision-Language Models
arXiv:2605.30587v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning has significantly improved the reasoning ability of large vision-language models (LVLMs) by verbalizing intermediate reasoning steps in natural language. However, such discrete textual rationales are often insufficient for encoding continuous visual evidence. Recent work addresses this limitation by moving reasoning into continuous latent space.
SleepVLM: Explainable and Rule-Grounded Sleep Staging via a Vision-Language Model
Announce Type: replace Abstract: While automated sleep staging has achieved expert-level accuracy, its clinical adoption is hindered by a lack of auditable reasoning. We introduce SleepVLM, a rule-grounded vision-language model (VLM) that stages sleep from multi-channel polysomnography (PSG) waveform images and generates clinician-readable rationales based on American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) scoring criteria. Utilizing waveform-perceptual pre-training and rule-grounded supervised...
BYORn: Bootstrap Your Own Responses to Defend Large Vision-Language Models Against Backdoor Attacks
arXiv:2606.02947v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Supervised fine-tuning is the predominant approach for adapting autoregressive vision-language models to downstream tasks. Recent work has shown that this paradigm is highly vulnerable to backdoor attacks, and that existing defenses are ineffective in open-ended generation settings. In response, we propose BYORn, a backdoor-robust fine-tuning framework motivated by the observation that poisoned target responses are often semantically...
3ViewSense: Spatial and Mental Perspective Reasoning from Orthographic Views in Vision-Language Models
arXiv:2603.07751v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Current Large Language Models have achieved Olympiad-level logic, yet Vision-Language Models paradoxically falter on elementary spatial tasks like block counting. This capability mismatch reveals a critical ``spatial intelligence gap,'' where models fail to construct coherent 3D mental representations from 2D observations. We uncover this gap via diagnostic analyses showing the bottleneck is a missing view-consistent spatial interface...
VLM4VLA: Revisiting Vision-Language-Models in Vision-Language-Action Models
Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, which integrate pretrained large Vision-Language Models (VLM) into their policy backbone, are gaining significant attention for their promising generalization capabilities. This paper revisits a fundamental yet seldom systematically studied question: how VLM choice and competence translate to downstream VLA policies performance? We introduce VLM4VLA, a minimal adaptation pipeline that converts general-purpose VLMs into VLA...
StateVLM: A State-Aware Vision-Language Model for Robotic Affordance Reasoning
arXiv:2605.03927v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown remarkable performance in various robotic tasks, as they can perceive visual information and understand natural language instructions. However, when applied to robotics, VLMs remain subject to a fundamental limitation inherent in large language models (LLMs): they struggle with numerical reasoning, particularly in object detection and object-state localization. To explore numerical reasoning as a...
NextMotionQA: Benchmarking and Judging Human Motion Understanding with Vision-Language Models
arXiv:2606.04773v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable evaluation of human motion understanding is fundamental to advancing embodied AI, robotics, and animation. However, existing benchmarks suffer from coarse semantic granularity, undifferentiated difficulty, limited annotation quality, and pervasive answer ambiguity, leaving them unable to diagnose where current models fail. To bridge this gap, we introduce NextMotionQA, a comprehensive benchmark that leverages vision-language models...
Probing Collision Grounding in Vision-Language Models for Safe Human-Robot Collaboration
arXiv:2605.31196v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safe human--robot collaboration requires more than visual description: a monitor must determine whether the robot body is safely separated, already colliding with the scene or a person, or about to collide. We call this capability collision grounding: binding visual observations to robot body geometry, camera viewpoint, scene layout, human proximity, and temporal motion in order to infer present and imminent contact. We introduce...
