Edit, Don't Imitate: Minimal-Edit On-Policy Distillation for Multimodal Reasoning

View original on arxiv.org

Overview

arXiv:2610.30231v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visual mathematical reasoning can fail before reasoning begins: when a vision-language model (VLM) misreads a diagram, subsequent reasoning proceeds from false premises. This perceptual bottleneck is especially pronounced in smaller models, while accurate textual descriptions can substantially narrow the gap to larger models. Because obtaining such descriptions at inference requires additional annotation or model calls, we propose minimal-edit corr
