Instruction-guided image editors have become highly capable, yet improving them further still depends on human-edited training pairs or external reward models. Such supervision is costly to obtain and can reward plausible failures: a realistic output may leave the requested change undone or alter content that should be...

However, existing vision-language benchmarks remain confined to single-timepoint, single-...

Perception Before Supervision: Self-Contained Visual Distillation from Counterfactual Blind Spots

This work introduces CVPD (Contrastive Counterfactual Visual Process Distillation), which is the first fully self-contained framework for dense, on-policy, token-level visual self-distillation for MLLMs, and proposes a three-gate Counterfactual Criterion that identifies visual blind spots where zooming into a region ch...
