Multimodal RL models learn skills differently with and without visual training data

A new research paper explores how multimodal reinforcement learning models learn skills, particularly in relation to visual information. The study found that models trained without images still achieved significant gains on vision-language benchmarks when images were introduced during testing. However, prolonged training with real images could degrade grounding abilities while benchmark scores remained high, indicating a disconnect between visual input during training and its effective use. The research proposes a 'visual resolvability' rule, ensuring visual evidence is crucial for correct answers and that tasks remain learnable, which improved a 7B model's accuracy in identifying targets in novel scenes.
