TableVision: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Spatially Grounded Reasoning over Complex Hierarchical Tables

arXiv:2604.03660v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Structured tables are essential for conveying high-density information in professional domains such as finance, healthcare, and scientific research. Despite the progress in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), reasoning performance remains limited for complex tables with hierarchical layouts. In this paper, we identify a critical Perception Bottleneck through quantitative analysis. We find that as task complexity scales, the number of involved
