Adaptive Reasoning Strategies in Multimodal LLMs: Accuracy Gains on Dynamic Visual Benchmarks

Abstract

Abstract: This report synthesises findings from 12 peer-reviewed papers addressing the following research question: What is the impact of ARS on the reasoning accuracy of multimodal LLMs (e.g., Flamingo or GIT) when evaluated on dynamic visual reasoning benchmarks such as VQA-v2 or TextVQA, compared to static. Recent advances in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have significantly improved performance on tasks such as visual grounding and visual question answering. However, the reasoning processes of these models remain largely opaque; they typically output only final. 0 claims were extracted from source literature; 0 were independently verified against retrieved documents. An automated multi-reviewer quality assessment produced a score of 6.5/10. This report is a machine-generated literature synthesis and does not constitute original research.

Research Question

What is the impact of ARS on the reasoning accuracy of multimodal LLMs (e.g., Flamingo or GIT) when evaluated on dynamic visual reasoning benchmarks such as VQA-v2 or TextVQA, compared to static fine-tuned baselines?
