Title: BalCapRL: A Balanced Framework for RL-Based MLLM Image Captioning
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.07394v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image captioning is one of the most fundamental tasks in computer vision. Owing to its open-ended nature, it has received significant attention in the era of multimodal large language models (MLLMs). In pursuit of ever more detailed and accurate captions, recent work has increasingly turned to reinforcement learning (RL). However, existing captioning-RL methods and evaluation metrics often emphasize a narrow notion of caption quality, inducing tr
