Title: ProcessThinker: Enhancing Multi-modal Large Language Models Reasoning via Rollout-based Process Reward

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.11209v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual question answering increasingly requires multi-step reasoning. Recent post-training with reinforcement learning under verifiable rewards (RLVR) and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) can improve multimodal reasoning, but most approaches rely on sparse outcome-only rewards. As a result, they struggle to tell whether an incorrect answer comes from a small mistake late in the reasoning or from an unhelpful trajectory from the start. A
