Correct reasoning traces exhibit positive confidence gain while incorrect traces show declining confidence, enabling CDG-based voting that boosts performance on AIME, HMMT and BRUMO benchmarks across multiple LLM architectures.
MLLMs know event timing during prefill via sparse Temporal Grounding Heads but lose it in autoregressive decoding; restricting visual context to the high-attention interval at inference time improves VTG performance on three benchmarks.
In LVLMs, attention can be replaced by random Gaussian weights with little or no performance loss, indicating that current models get lost in attention rather than efficiently using visual context.
A latent denoising objective with saliency-aware corruption and contrastive distillation improves visual alignment and corruption robustness in large multimodal models.
Centroid erasure shows language representations overshadow vision in multimodal models, and text-centroid contrastive decoding recovers substantial accuracy on visual reasoning tasks.
VLMs fail at counting because visual evidence degrades in later language layers, and a lightweight Modality Attention Share intervention can encourage better use of image information during answer generation.
Attention dispersion during extended reasoning impairs MLLM perception on images, and a training-free VRGA framework mitigates it by selecting and reweighting visual attention heads using an entropy-focus criterion.
EAGLE achieves up to 94.4% anomaly detection accuracy on MVTec-AD and 88.1% on VisA by guiding frozen MLLMs with expert-derived thresholds and confidence-aware attention without parameter updates.
VLMs show systematic drops in counting accuracy as visual and linguistic complexity rise, with modest gains from targeted attention reweighting in the decoder.
Proposes dynamic token re-weighting during target-domain fine-tuning to mitigate exacerbated attention sink in source-free CDFSL, achieving SOTA on four benchmarks.
SSA-ME uses saliency-aware modeling to reduce visual neglect and semantic drift, achieving SOTA results on the MMEB benchmark for multimodal retrieval.
