Can MLLMs Read Students' Minds? Unpacking Multimodal Error Analysis in Handwritten Math

2026-03-26 · Dingjie Song, Tianlong Xu, Yi-Fan Zhang, Hang Li, Zhiling Yan, Xing Fan, Haoyang Li, Lichao Sun, Qingsong Wen

General AI

Assessing student handwritten scratchwork is crucial for personalized educational feedback but presents unique challenges due to diverse handwriting, complex layouts, and varied problem-solving approaches. Existing educational NLP primarily focuses on textual responses and neglects the complexity and multimodality inhe…

Reaching Beyond the Mode: RL for Distributional Reasoning in Language Models

2026-03-25 · Isha Puri, Mehul Damani, Idan Shenfeld, Marzyeh Ghassemi, Jacob Andreas, Yoon Kim

General AI

Given a question, a language model (LM) implicitly encodes a distribution over possible answers. In practice, post-training procedures for LMs often collapse this distribution onto a single dominant mode. While this is generally not a problem for benchmark-style evaluations that assume one correct answer, many real-wor…

AVO: Agentic Variation Operators for Autonomous Evolutionary Search

2026-03-25 · Terry Chen, Zhifan Ye, Bing Xu, Zihao Ye, Timmy Liu, Ali Hassani, Tianqi Chen, Andrew Kerr, Haicheng Wu, Yang Xu, Yu-Jung Chen, Hanfeng Chen, Aditya Kane, Ronny Krashinsky, Ming-Yu Liu, Vinod Grover, Luis Ceze, Roger Bringmann, John Tran, Wei Liu, Fung Xie, Michael Lightstone, Humphrey Shi

General AI

Agentic Variation Operators (AVO) are a new family of evolutionary variation operators that replace the fixed mutation, crossover, and hand-designed heuristics of classical evolutionary search with autonomous coding agents. Rather than confining a language model to candidate generation within a prescribed pipeline, AVO…

VFIG: Vectorizing Complex Figures in SVG with Vision-Language Models

2026-03-25 · Qijia He, Xunmei Liu, Hammaad Memon, Ziang Li, Zixian Ma, Jaemin Cho, Jason Ren, Daniel S Weld, Ranjay Krishna

General AI

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) are an essential format for technical illustration and digital design, offering precise resolution independence and flexible semantic editability. In practice, however, original vector source files are frequently lost or inaccessible, leaving only "flat" rasterized versions (e.g., PNG or …

WAFT-Stereo: Warping-Alone Field Transforms for Stereo Matching

2026-03-25 · Yihan Wang, Jia Deng

General AI

We introduce WAFT-Stereo, a simple and effective warping-based method for stereo matching. WAFT-Stereo demonstrates that cost volumes, a common design used in many leading methods, are not necessary for strong performance and can be replaced by warping with improved efficiency. WAFT-Stereo ranks first on ETH3D, KITTI a…
