MIRROR: Learning from the Other View for Multi-Modal Reasoning

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.21552v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unlike large language models (LLMs) that exhibit strong reasoning capabilities, vision-language models (VLMs) struggle with visual reasoning, even on geometry problems that admit equivalent text, diagram, and combined diagram+text views. We show that these views often elicit different behaviors: a model may solve a problem from text but fail on the corresponding diagram, or succeed visually while failing textually. This inconsistency suggests that different views expose complementary reasoning paths and failure modes that standard multimodal post-training does not fully exploit. To study and exploit this phenomenon, we construct ODA-Data, a high-quality paired multimodal geometry dataset with text-dominant, image-dominant, and combined image+
