A new research paper explores how visual generation can expand the knowledge of unified multimodal models (UMMs). The study introduces Knowledge Transfer Probing (KTP) to assess how knowledge gained from image generation training is accessed through text-only question answering. The findings indicate that visual supervision directly, though unevenly, transfers knowledge to language capabilities. The research also proposes Textual Alignment and Interleaved Image--Text Alignment to improve knowledge accessibility, showing that guidance on specific entities can enhance understanding of others, especially when combined with interleaved responses.
