Title: Internalized Reasoning for Long-Context Visual Document Understanding

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.02371v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual long-document understanding is critical for enterprise, legal, and scientific applications, yet the best performing open recipes have not explored reasoning, a capability which has driven leaps in math and code performance. We introduce a synthetic data pipeline for reasoning in long-document understanding that generates thinking traces by scoring each page for question relevance, extracting textual evidence and ordering it from most to le
