New DUPL method boosts multimodal reasoning in LLMs

Researchers have introduced DUPL, a novel policy learning approach designed to enhance multimodal reasoning in large language models. This method specifically addresses the challenge of distinguishing between uncertainty arising from complex reasoning and ambiguity in visual perception. By quantifying and utilizing both perceptual and output uncertainties, DUPL guides policy updates to focus learning on areas with high ambiguity, thereby improving targeted exploration. The approach has demonstrated significant accuracy gains on various multimodal reasoning benchmarks, outperforming existing methods and showing broad applicability across different algorithms and architectures.

    Dual-Uncertainty Guided Policy Learning for Multimodal Reasoning

    arXiv:2510.01444v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has advanced reasoning capabilities in multimodal large language models. However, existing methods typically treat visual inputs as deterministic, overlooking the perceptual …
