Researchers have introduced Numerical Visual Chain-of-Thought (NV-CoT), a novel framework that allows Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to perform region-grounded reasoning over images using continuous numerical coordinates. This approach expands the model's action space from discrete tokens to a continuous Euclidean space, enabling direct generation of bounding-box coordinates with minimal architectural changes. NV-CoT supports both supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning, utilizing Gaussian or Laplace policies and reparameterized sampling for policy optimization. Experiments show NV-CoT significantly enhances localization precision, final answer accuracy, and training convergence compared to existing visual reasoning baselines. AI
