ProMSA agent advances knowledge-based visual question answering

Researchers have developed ProMSA, a novel agent designed for knowledge-based visual question answering (KB-VQA). Unlike previous methods that use fixed retrieval pipelines, ProMSA adaptively selects between image search, text search, or stopping based on tool-call budgets and deduplication. The agent is trained using a combination of rejection-sampling SFT and a sequence-level RL objective called TN-GSPO. Experiments on E-VQA and InfoSeek datasets demonstrate that ProMSA achieves improved retrieval and end-to-end accuracy compared to existing RAG and agent baselines. AI

IMPACT Advances agent-based reasoning for multimodal tasks, potentially improving complex information retrieval systems.
